> 24 hourAdded mine to the back of my case and it dropped my GPU temps at load about 5 Celsius. It isnt terribly loud either. It doesnt have a whine like some of my stock fans do. Id recommend to anyone whos looking to cool their PC some more.

> 24 hourAs the title suggests is this $30 fan worth your money? Ive compiled some figures that I find interesting and hopefully they will help you in choosing. I purchased this fan to upgrade the NZXT FX-140 PWM fan that came with my Kraken X40 liquid cooler. It was between this fan and the Noctua NF-A14 Premium Quiet fan. I got the PPC version because of its superior static pressure and wider range of RPM, while hoping I can find the perfect balance between cooling performance and sound.

> 24 hourGreat Fan moves a lot of air, high pressure and even at max 2K RPM is pretty darn quiet, you actually need to listen for the fan. WHen I decide to upgrade and I think I will try one of the 3K fans to see if there is a big difference in sound. But someone who wants fan that can move air and is next to silent get these

> 24 hourDont buy this just because you need a quiet system.

> 24 hourQC issues. Noctua will replace bad fans without a question. They need to be worn in a bit before they get a bit quieter. Great performance. Ugly (but you can change that). Crazy strong frame

> 24 hourAmazing fans. Absolutely no complaints. very quiet. Reccomend keeping them at around 1500 rpm. Great results with low noise at this speed.

> 24 hourResearched a bit and through that I determined these were the best for my goals. Im a gamer. I was trying to find the best balance between thermals and and noise. I was running temps between 48 and 55c. After installing these fans Im running between 30-38c. I run a gtx 1080ti hybrid sc2 with a lg 38gn950b.
Conceived for industrial heavy duty applications that require enhanced cooling performance and advanced ingress protection, the NF-A14 industrialPPC (Protected Performance Cooling) is a ruggedised high-speed version of the retail model. Thanks to the outstanding aerodynamic efficiency of the NF-A14 design and the use of a novel three-phase motor, the industrialPPC version provides superior airflow and pressure capacity while keeping noise levels and power consumption moderate as against comparable high-speed fans. While its fibre-glass reinforced polyamide construction and certified water and dust protection make the NF-A14 industrialPPC suitable for operation in challenging environments, the renowned SSO2 bearing technology ensures an MTTF of over 150.000hrs. Topped off with Noctua’s trusted reliability, the NF-A14 industrialPPC is an ideal choice for highly demanding applications that require superior flow rates and ultimate dependability.
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.

2000rpm industrialPPC versionThanks to its elevated 2000rpm top speed, the NF-A14 industrialPPC-2000 provides a significant performance boost over the 1500rpm retail version. Combined with the industrialPPC series" robust polyamide construction and advanced protection features, this makes the fan ideal for challenging industrial applications. |
Three-phase motor designWhile most axial fans use single-phase motors with 4 slots, Noctua"s industrialPPC fans feature a three-phase design with 6 slots, which provides smoother transitions between the slots and thus allows for even higher running smoothness, further reduced vibrations and unprecedented energy efficiency. |
IP52 water- and dust protectionThanks to a special varnish coating that covers the motor and PCB, the NF-A14 industrialPPC complies with the ingress protection rating IP52. This means that it is not only highly dust resistant but also withstands dripping water equivalent to 3mm rainfall per minute. |
Fibre-glass reinforced polyamide constructionBoth the impeller and the frame of Noctua’s industrialPPC fans are made entirely from fibre-glass reinforced polyamide. This material can withstand temperatures up to 140°C and makes the fans even more robust and break-proof than Noctua’s standard fibre-glass reinforced PBT fans. |
Please Note:
The industrialPPC models are high-speed fans for industrial applications. As such, they are not as quiet as other Noctua fans and less suited for low-noise PC builds.
