> 3 daySuper quiet with included noise reduction cable. Its on top, blowing down into my Pioneer Elite VSX-49TXi receiver which is fantastic audio, but generates more heat than it can cool on warm days. I cant hear the fan running and the receiver stays cool. Perfect. Yes,I know it should be updraft, but the fan blades make noise in that configuration. This fan moves enough air to feel the air coming out the bottom of the receiver. Im using a 12Vdc wall wart plugged into the switched power outlet on the back of the receiver. The 12 volt turn on signal from the receiver is only rated at .100 A (100 milliamps) and cannot supply enough current to power the fan.

Greater than one weekIts quiet. It uses pwm. It pushes air out. Thats what I bought it for. It really looks great in my haf xm. Just happy I got it quickly and got it for under $25.

> 3 dayLouder than expected for a Noctua fan, and much lower air flow even on high (and loud).

Greater than one weekLove the product! I bought 2 for my case and the work perfect for the application I have them for in my case, and they dont make much noise. These are my first case fans from Noctua, but a family member of mine has had his for a while and they work great! I have theyre processor fan and love it! Like anything though, you do have to dust out your case for these to work at their optimum though.

> 3 dayNoctua makes possibly the best fans on the market. I have never had a bad experience with their products and they offer a 6 year warranty on their products. Their customer service is also amazing. Most fans will not last you that long; most fans stop working after 3-4 years if you are lucky. This is the reason you buy these fans because you know they will last you a long time and you always have the warranty as a backup option in case it dies out.

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.

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. |
