Noctua NF-A14 PWM, Premium Quiet Fan, 4-Pin (140mm, Brown)

Amazing fan! Very quiet, moves tons of air. Seems very robust.

Best PC case fans out there, super strong and quiet. -1 star for ugly color. When my PC is in typical daily use (youtube, browsing, photoshop, lightroom), it is silent as these fans are humming along quietly.

This fan blows! In the best way possible. Compared to the Corsair fan, this feels like it’s blowing at least 1.5x the amount of air. Works really well pulling air through fine-mesh case filters.

Using this as a chassis fan in a 4U server. I expected the fan to be much quieter at mid-high speeds but the noise levels are quite high at >900RPM.

Pushes.

The only thing that would make me happier, is they offered this in gray or black. Otherwise these are just what my Corsair H110i needed, and my case lets me tuck them out of view if I use a top mount push configuration!

I am building a SFF computer that is going to sit in my living room. Because of this I need quiet fans. I had used a Noctua CPU cooler on a previous build, so I knew that they were good. I purchased 2 of these (1 intake and 1 exhaust) for my system, and let my mobo do a fan test. It went through all the different speeds to full speed, and I only noticed them making noise at full speed, but this is with my case on my desk during assembly with the case open. You really cant find better fans

Replaced rear fan in Cooler Master HAF-932 Improved as its 7 years old. Original was perfectly fine but Noctua is clearly higher premium quality.

My Corsair 400Q chassis with 2 non-PWM fans was pretty quiet already. I just thought it wouldnt hurt to replace the fan in the front with an NF-A14 PWM to make it even better. Setting up the new fan at the same RPM, the CPU and motherboard temperatures dropped 1-2 degrees right away. Apparently, its pushing more air. However, the Noctua fan was so loud that I had to go back to the original Corsair fan after a day. The quality of the fan is certainly better than those that come with the under $50 cases. But it doesnt really amaze me as I have been working with high quality industrial computers for years. My take is that you should be fine with the NF-A14 PWM if you dont use it as an intake fan and you keep it under 700 RPM. The motor noise at higher speed is really bothersome to me as it is a low frequency humming that sounds like a running refrigerator compressor. To Noctuas credit, their 92mm PWM fans do work better than the stock fans in my Lenovo TS440 server.

You get what you pay for, and in this case... the quality is perfect! I bought these to replace some annoying fans on my water cooling radiator. Everything from the packaging to the product was pleasing. It was an added bonus that Amazing was also able to deliver these 1 day earlier than expected! I will be buying 3 more to replace the fans in my case now that I have had a taste, thanks!
