Review on 🧊 ARCTIC F14 Silent - Ultra-Quiet 140mm Case Fan, Extra Quiet Motor, for Computers, Nearly Inaudible, Fan Speed: 800 RPM - Black/White by Dustin Ramsey

Revainrating 4 out of 5

Garbage. Buy another brand!

Good: Comes with screws (although the screw holes in the case cracked when tightened). Technically works like a fan. Bad: Everything else! I bought 3 pin 1350rpm from these 3x140 and 4x120. The 120s are a lot louder than I'd like, but I have them on the speed controller so I can make it bearable (probably running them around 600 so they're barely running). Although 140s are loud and hum badly at any speed other than full speed. All 3 bought have bad vibration and I have to run them at full blast to keep from humming. I've added Noctua isolators and put butyl soundproofing around the fan and nothing seems to help. I usually buy Scythe or Noctua, but I needed 3-pin fans and they were only 800 or 2000 RPM, so I bought them. Bad mistake. I'd rather forgo the airflow for a good 800 compared to that 1350. Airflow is also pretty poor compared to Scythe PWM in case max power is less than 1300. Simply avoid at all costs!
