> 24 hourSold by AnaMax (USA) but fulfilled by Amazon. I honestly couldnt tell the difference, product shipped extremely quickly considering the lack of direct sales of certain Noctua products at the time I ordered. Price was acceptable (all Noctua products are high quality and high priced) but I didnt see any evidence of an aftermarket markup or value add where no value is added. All in all a great experience. The fans themselves are what I expected from Noctua, having read many reviews and watched countless YouTube videos (lets just admit that theyre showcases and not reviews in most cases on YouTube.)

> 24 hourI am using this fan as a top case intake to feed my my CPU cooler. I have its speed controlled by the CPU temperature. It is very quiet and moves a good amount of air. My idle temps are 1c above ambient and my load temps are as good as open case. It is very quiet even under load. A great fan but a tad expensive.

> 24 hourI use this fan as an exhaust on my PC, and is does a very good job. The fan is not silent when running at full speed, but Noctua includes two adapters to lower the RPM, which also lowers the noise. All necessary parts are included for installation, including some tool less silicone pull-through mounts, which are great, and an extension for the fan connector. All the cables are sleeved. Noctua spends a lot of time designing their products, and it shows.

> 24 hourIt does what it says. It moves a lot of air, but dont expect this thing alone to cool your whole pc. As an additional fan or ventilation fan though, its actually impressive. Also, be aware that manufacturers deliberately put misleading numbers to promote their products. That said, this fan moves 103mh3 of air which sounds like a big deal. In reality, it is not more than 50+ CFM which is the actual measurement of airflow. No matter though, still a wonderful product from a company that only makes wonderful products.

> 24 hourI dont notice a difference between these and many other $20 fans... The color is just terrible.

> 24 hourVery quiet. Case runs significantly cooler than with stock fan. Very high quality look and feel. Would purchase again.
The NF-A14 is a premium quality quiet 140mm fan with a square frame that complies with Noctua’s AAO(Advanced Acoustic Optimisation) standard. Its square shape and 140mm mounting holes (124.5mm spacing) make it ideal for use on watercooling radiators or as an upgrade for 140mm case fans. Featuring sophisticated aerodynamic design measures such as Flow Acceleration Channels, the NF-A14 further improves the renowned quiet cooling performance of the award-winning NF-P14. The FLX version provides 1200/1050/900rpm speed settings via the supplied Low-Noise Adaptors in order to provide full flexibility in fine-tuning the fan for maximum ventilation performance or near-silent operation. Its superb running smoothness, reference-class SSO2 bearing and Noctua’s trusted premium quality make it an elite choice for the highest demands.

|---|---|---|---|
Flow Acceleration ChannelsThe NF-A14 impeller features suction side Flow Acceleration Channels. By speeding up the airflow at the crucial outer blade regions, this measure reduces suction side flow separation and thus leads to better efficiency and lower vortex noise. |
SSO2 BearingThe NF-A14 features the further optimised second generation of Noctua"s renowned, time-tested SSO bearing. With SSO2, the rear magnet is placed closer to the axis to provide even better stabilisation, precision and durability. |
Integrated anti-vibration padsIntegrated anti-vibration pads made from extra-soft silicone minimise the transmission of minute vibrations while maintaining full compatibility with all standard screws and other mounting systems. |

AAO frame
Noctua"s AAO (Advanced Acoustic Optimisation) frames feature integrated anti-vibration pads as well as Noctua"s proprietary Stepped Inlet Design and Inner Surface Microstructures, both of which further refine the fan"s performance/noise efficiency.
