Review on πŸ–€ Noctua NF-A14 PWM chromax.Black.swap Premium Quiet Fan 140mm Black by Brian Douglas

Revainrating 5 out of 5

good fans wild cables. Tricky anti-vibration mounts.

Anti-vibration feet are strange. The rubber is a little softer than expected and easy to use. Initially I thought they were meant to mechanically isolate the fans from the case to allow the fans to float, but in practice they are cushions to cushion the contact between fan and case so even if the screws holding the fans loosen a little , The vibration of the case makes the fans rattle. The fans themselves don't rattle, so it's not necessary, but I think they look nice. I don't understand why the cables are disconnected. They didn't include alternate lengths, so a bulky connector so close to the fan but still dangling made installation more difficult than versatile. The fan cable must not be disconnected or unplugged directly from the family case. I don't see that the current system is what anyone wanted.

Pros
  • Cool
Cons
  • Long delivery
