15-06-2025As 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.

> 3 dayDont buy this just because you need a quiet system.

Greater than one weekThe usual Noctua quality. Quite, tons of air flow and now that they are black they dont look like crap. lol

> 3 dayIt gives a speed of 2000, but the sound is very annoying

Greater than one weekNeeds a powerful PWM signal to spin, I cant daisychain the PWM through any other fans, even if Im drawing the power from elsewhere. 5 corsair fans will run off that PWM signal, but I cant run any one of them at the same time as this fan.

12-06-2025used these on my computer AIO cooler in place of the loud fans that came stock. These fans have a way higher static PSI and are much Quieter than the stock fans

> 3 dayThey performe well and are only loud at max load which it never runs because the temperatures are not that high.

> 3 dayExcellent fans from Noctua, they are so much better attached to my Corsair rad then the Corsair fans were. The original fans were noisy and made clicking sounds, I thought the pump was going bad.
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.
