> 3 dayI have a Fractal Design Define R4 Black Pearl case, and I tried upgrading the stock fans with the Fractal Design Dynamic GP-14 Black Case Fans, and still wasnt getting the airflow I wanted. I decided to give these Noctua fans a try, bought one new one from Amazon, and three used ones from a local computer repair shop. Awesome airflow through the case now, temps overall are down 5 degrees C, and Im not hearing any loud fan noise. My system is being used as an entertainment computer, connected to my home theater setup, and from my listening position Im hearing zero fan noise. Im running two of the fans at 7 volts, using the fan controller on the R4 case, and two running at 1150 RPMs using the Scythe SCKMPN-3100 Fan Controller, and I couldnt ask for a quieter machine for home entertainment.

> 3 dayThis is a very quiet fan especially since I have it set to about 900 rpm. My case is vented on the top so I have it mounted there and the CPU hasnt gone over 92 deg F so it is obviously running cool. The only problem I have, and this has noted by another reviewer, is the fan wont start until OS starts. Kind of puzzling but having it start like this but it doesnt seem to present any problems since it hasnt failed to start a that time.

Greater than one weekGreat fan. Highly recommend it.
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

|---|---|---|---|
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. |
