🌀 Noctua 140mm NF-A14 iPPC-2000 IP67 PWM Heavy Duty Cooling Fan, Black - High RPM, 4-Pin Connector Review

These things are amazing. I've always wanted to try Noctua fans (I usually use Corsair or Xigmatek) and I always seem to come back to them because of the price. Don't get me wrong, these are great products. However, this Noctua NF-A14 knocks them out of the water. I replaced both of the stock Corsair fans on my H110iGT because one of them was starting to rattle. I also replaced two Xigmatek fans on the side window. Almost all are silent due to speed control, and all temperatures in my system…

No user will or should use them at 100% speed. It's inevitably loud at this level, but given its full 2000rpm that's to be expected. The ideal place for me is revs up to 65%, up to this point all noise is cut off due to my headset. As an aside I have 3 of these fans installed as intake fans in my P600S case and in my current performance with the Arctic Liquid Freezer II 280MM my I-7-7000 OC at 4.8GHz idles at 30 degrees Celsius and up to 65 degrees in CPU-heavy games (Squad etc.). Currently my…

I had 2 Corsair Ml140s on top of the case for exhaust. They worked fairly well, but above 50% speed they seemed to make a fairly audible hum. I dabbled with them for performance until I came across the NF-A14 iPPC-2000s. This is the industrial version of the NF-A14, which has 500rpm and more noise, but comes in black instead of the usual tan. I wasn't sure it was worth spending another $50 for what could be essentially the same fans as my Corsair ML140, but after listening to the ML140 hum for…

Bought 2 and delivered on the 17th, the new case didn't come until the 19th. Since I switched to MiniITX I've had to buy a fan hub as my new motherboard only had one case fan slot. I hooked up 4 fans with a new hub with no problems. On the 24th I had to remodel my computer as there was an airflow issue and I also wanted to install my new cable mods. The CPU boot fans turn on, but the chase fans do not turn on. Had to re-open the PC to see if the cable was properly connected and that was it. the

- 2x front inlet 1x rear outlet in Corsair Air 540 case.- Pushes air through polyurethane mesh filter and then case dust filter, no problem. Fans and NH-d15 are very good. I haven't checked the before and after temperature, but thermal throttling is now not possible in my current build and overclock settings. The PWM is easily controlled using a Silverstone PWM hub ($15) on my old MB with only one PWM port. - Audible characteristic low hum under moderate load, but can get noticeably louder…
