Still the best! Good for fans and cooling

So I recently did some final tweaks to my machine and now I've decided on RAM, CPU, cooler, case and adjusted the overclock to get the best balance between good idle temps and performance . It's time to dive into the fan case. Something told me to just stick with Noctua, but of course I had to watch a few YouTube videos claiming that the Kaze Flex or Artic P series is the king of case fans. No, not even close, at least not in my "case", literally. I have a Corsair 275r Airflow and after trying…

Pros
  • Case fan
Cons
  • Expensive

Expensive but worth it.

Bought for the NZXT Source 210 case. I use it in one of the top fan mounts. I bought this fan primarily because the advanced bearing makes it easy to install in any position. I was also interested in quiet operation and longevity. You can buy quiet liquid bearing fans for less or about the same price, but honestly, great cooling with good design and reliability is worth it to me. I keep my computers until they wear out (usually), so I don't think expensive fans are a waste of money. I like…

Pros
  • Computers and accessories
Cons
  • Some nuances

Reliable, quiet and comparable to liquid cooling

Noctua is the leading manufacturer of air-cooled systems on the market. It won't get any better. Bought and installed two years ago. They're so good at pushing and pulling air that they rarely really need cleaning. I also have a Cooler Master Cosmos 2 case. In conjunction with this I have rarely reached 40C on my CPU. In fact, it takes the hottest days of the year to get my timings anywhere near that. On average, the temperature of my processor stays at around 33-38 degrees during heavy loads…

Pros
  • Fans and Cooling
Cons
  • Weight

I like the colors (their unique ones)

I can't remember if I bought 2 NF-A14 FLX fans here or elsewhere, so I decided to leave a review on both sites with which i deal in electronics. First off, don't listen to people who say these fans won't mount to a case without modifying your case. I had no trouble installing the two fans I purchased on the front mounts of my Corsair 750 Obsidian Full Tower. Pros: All of these fans are virtually silent (less than 85dB at full speed, about 1500). They move a lot of air. (I don't have CFM numbers

Pros
  • Computer components
Cons
  • Some imperfections

The right product for me, there were no problems.

This model lives up to the name, really very quiet operation (9-11 dB), but the performance is not super, it is designed to purge the case but not for the processor - consider this point when buying, I took three pieces at a price of 600, I have been using it for a couple of months and have already bowed to the conclusion that knowingly overpaid, I recommend. Different pros: I bought it for one purpose, silence, you really can’t hear the operation of the fans, good equipment, performance…

The best purchase in my life, I will definitely buy it again.

At the rated speed (800 rpm), it is barely audible at arm's length, it will not be heard at all in the system unit. Nearby, the noise of air on the impeller is heard - a low-frequency rumble. Doesn't start at 5 volts. From 7 volts it starts only in a horizontal position. At the same time, it starts without problems from 12 volts through a 220 Ohm resistor, and even in combination with a 220 Ohm resistor + LNA adapter (another 100 Ohms - a total of 320 Ohms) starts confidently.

Pros
  • There is no electromechanical buzzing of the motor.
Cons
  • Doesn't start at 5 volts.

The quality is at the highest level, be sure to try it.

This is really a top class product (or as they say on the box "premium")! In connection with the birth of a child, it was necessary to replace the ventilation and cooling system of the system. my old three 140's and three 120's put out about 70db in total, if not more, which prevented the whole family from sleeping, even though I was in another room. Now I only hear the pump on the water cooling system of the processor pumping coolant! In general, I took myself 3 pcs of Noctua NF-A14 ULN and 3…

Pros
  • - Build quality and materials are top notch. - Equipment - Noise level - it's just not there
Cons
  • - Short base wire connection 3 pin - If you want silence, be prepared to sacrifice ten Celsius of the temperature of the entire system - Someone will say the price, maybe yes . but! Once you use it, you realize it's worth the investment.
