Review on 🌀 ARCTIC F14 Quiet PWM PST (5 Pack) - 140 mm Case Fan with Sharing Technology, Computer Fan 200-1350 RPM - Black by Velizar Topalov ᠌

I bought these fans for the Fractal Design Meshify 2 Compact Light case, installed 4 pieces, 2 for front intake, 2 for top exhaust, another P12 works for rear exhaust. If we talk about efficiency, they do very well, my rather hot stone i7 12700KF at 100% load even with stock coolers (Fractal Design 2 in front and 1 in the back) did not really reduce the temperature and it reached 85 degrees and it went into throttling, which it made me panic a little (the CPU has an ID-COOLING SE-226-XT BLACK with 1 fan), but I bought a 2nd fan for the CPU cooler, I also bought these fans and now the temperature at 100% load on all components (+ the RTX 2070 video card, which is also very hot) does not exceed 80 degrees, which for this stone, in my opinion, and regarding the price of cooling, is very excellent and without throttling at the same time. As for the volume of operation, at 100% power, these fans are noisy almost like an airplane, so you need to manually set the power that is comfortable for you in the application so that they do not make much noise, but there will be noise, but much more comfortable , I personally set 65% and everything suits me both in noise and temperature that the CPU keeps at the same time. But it is worth pointing out the fact that in games the 12700KF does not load above 30-40% there, which is why my CPU temperature stays around 45-50 degrees, which in my opinion is an excellent indicator, but in idle time, if it is not heavily loaded in the game , or when surfing the Internet, the fans are silent (although, in fact, the noise during the load in games is due to the fact that I tied the fan power set, including to the temperature of the video card, which, of course, is loaded much more than the CPU and therefore the fans also for this they begin to make noise, but as I wrote above, the noise is comfortable at 65% power). As a result, for their price, they are excellent fans, it’s hard to say in terms of reliability, they have only been working for a month, but in general, according to experience, they should be reliable, and for the rest, TOP for their money.
