> 3 dayIm sold on Noctua fans. They are practically inaudible when running at low speed, which is all mine need to do to keep my case cool. I can hear the other stock fans that came with my case, but not the Noctuas.

> 3 dayBought one of these and it was not quiet at all. Of all my case fans it was by far the loudest of the bunch. It had a distinct high pitched whine/squeal/buzz to it. Maybe I got a bad one, maybe I didnt, but I am returning it and wont be buying one again.

> 3 dayHave one mounted to the back of my NZXT H1 and one replacing the stock cooler on my H1. Temps dropped a few degrees and its nowhere near as noisy as it was.

> 3 dayReally nicely performing, premium, acoustically optimized fans. All the included bits, Y-cables, low-noise adpaters, etc. are very nice quality. Great attention to detail with the silicone pads and attachments to dampen vibration. 140mm fans move a lot of air at low speeds, so I can keep my PC virtually silent even under load.

> 3 dayNear complete silence while providing excellent cooling. The loudest thing on my PC is the spinning of my external HDD.

> 3 dayQuiet, as advertised. Good for a general airflow fan (which was what I was looking for), but you probably want more air flow if youre looking for a fan to replace the one for your computers water cooled radiator.

Greater than one weekWorks great! Noctua makes the best fans, hands down.

> 3 dayI purchased these to replace the Corsair fans that came with my h115i liquid cooler. I do a lot of 3D rendering on my overclocked 6800k, so was constantly dealing with loud fans on my radiator as they ramped up to 2000rpm to keep the cpu you at an average of 62C. I expected these things to be quieter than the Corsair stock fans, but I had no idea they would cool my cpu while maintaining a lower rpm.

> 3 dayComes with everything needed for installation. I have tried many different fans over the years and these are the quietest ones I have used. Seem high quality. Im very happy with these fans.

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 PWM version sports Noctua’s custom designed NE-FD1 IC for fully automatic speed control via 4-pin fan headers and comes with a Low-Noise-Adaptor to reduce the maximum speed during PWM control from 1500rpm to 1200rpm. Its performance-oriented 1500rpm top speed and comprehensive speed control options make the NF-A14 PWM an elite choice for users who strive to strike a perfect balance between excellent cooling capacity and superb quietness of operation, be it on watercooling radiators, on heatsinks or in case ventilation.
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. |
Scope of delivery

AAO frame
Noctua"s AAO (Advanced Acoustic Optimisation) frames feature integrated anti-vibration pads as well as Noctua"s proprietary Stepped Inlet Design and Inner Surface Microstructures, both of which further refine the fan"s performance/noise efficiency.
