Will this fit ?

I have a NZXT S340 with a stock i7 4790k cooler. Will a NH-U14S fit in my case with the default fans in ? or should i look at something else. Needs to be quiet.

No it won't.

that case supports 161mm CPU cooler clearance, the CPU fan you linked is 165mm sorry bud

this is a lovely fan

kept my i7 at a cool 28-30 degrees idle and 50-55 degrees on load for years.

My basket at Overclockers UK:

1 x Phanteks PH-TC12DX CPU Cooler - Silver= £44.99

Total: £53.69
(includes shipping: £8.70)

Thanks for the suggestion. I have ordered a Noctua NH-U12S

The NH-U12S is a nice cooler, running one in my Phanteks Mini XL, though even with all fans on my motherboards BIOS set to silent mode, that PC is noisier than my S340 with the Nepton 240M AIO.
