> 3 dayNo joke. As far as fans go this one is rather expensive. I will say that it is quality. Rubber isolated corners, very quiet, good mounting hardware. I am hoping to get 10 years out of this one. Only time will tell but if I can get 3-5 years out of a cheap fan this one should do better.

> 3 dayBought 5 of these fans total. Used them to replaced the three stock fans in my Corsair 750D case and then add two more exhaust fans at the top.

Greater than one weekBest fan I have ever installed, hands down. For those of us who need quiet fans in production environments, Noctua delivers the best airflow at the fewest dBs. Highly recommend.

> 3 dayVery very quiet. I like the feel of the silicone noise reduction pads and the design of the mounting frame. This is the highest quality fan I have ever handled or put in a computer build. Will buy more of Noctua in the future. Wish it had a 4 pin connector (it comes with a 3 pin) but the connector length is long, braided and the extra cable extender and the silent run extensions are thoughtful and useful; a 5 star rating overall.

The NF-A14 is a premium quality quiet 140mm fan with a square frame that complies with Noctua’s AAO(Advanced Acoustic Optimisation) standard. Its square shape and 140mm mounting holes (124.5mm spacing) make it ideal for use on watercooling radiators or as an upgrade for 140mm case fans. Featuring sophisticated aerodynamic design measures such as Flow Acceleration Channels, the NF-A14 further improves the renowned quiet cooling performance of the award-winning NF-P14. The FLX version provides 1200/1050/900rpm speed settings via the supplied Low-Noise Adaptors in order to provide full flexibility in fine-tuning the fan for maximum ventilation performance or near-silent operation. Its superb running smoothness, reference-class SSO2 bearing and Noctua’s trusted premium quality make it an elite choice for the highest demands.
Square 140mm frame
The NF-A14"s square 140mm frame with 140mm mounting holes (124.5mm spacing) makes it a premium grade replacement for common 140mm case fans and perfect for use on 140mm water cooling radiators, where its square shape will ensure full coverage and best pressure performance.

Flow Acceleration ChannelsThe NF-A14 impeller features suction side Flow Acceleration Channels. By speeding up the airflow at the crucial outer blade regions, this measure reduces suction side flow separation and thus leads to better efficiency and lower vortex noise. |
SSO2 BearingThe NF-A14 features the further optimised second generation of Noctua"s renowned, time-tested SSO bearing. With SSO2, the rear magnet is placed closer to the axis to provide even better stabilisation, precision and durability. |
Integrated anti-vibration padsIntegrated anti-vibration pads made from extra-soft silicone minimise the transmission of minute vibrations while maintaining full compatibility with all standard screws and other mounting systems. |
