> 3 dayThese are definitely industrial fans. Fast and loud, they move a lot of air. I put these on some corsair AIO radiators in a pull config and the temps are really good. But, the noise is high due to that airflow - just be warned. Not marking them down as they are doing what they were designed to do.

Greater than one weekAmazing fans. Absolutely no complaints. very quiet. Reccomend keeping them at around 1500 rpm. Great results with low noise at this speed.

Greater than one weekThis review is based on a comparison of the NF-A14 industrial 2000rpm model vs the NF-A14 standard 1500rpm pc version. I purchased this to see if I could eke out some better cooling performance at the cost of increased noise. Problem was is the type of noise this fan produces wasnt what I was expecting. I figured it would just be more air flow or wind noise but the motor itself is what is annoying. It buzzes at lower rpms and whines at speed. And the performance gained was marginal. Just really not worth it over the quiet pc version. To be fair to Noctua, they do have a disclaimer on their website about the noise of these fans, its just not the type of noise youd expect. Id recommend if performance is your only concern and you really dont mind loud fans, then skip these and grab the 3000rpm versions. Theyre even louder but theyll also cool much better.

> 3 dayA very nice fan . Installed in a gaming pc to help with temps yeah it’s loud but it doesn’t kill ya with alittle noise. Blows a lot of air and lowered temps for sure. Only issue was the poor quality screws it came with tht stripped out with a screw driver . That was the only problem other then that amazing fan. Price kinda hurts alittle but it’s very good quality . Buy your own screws

> 3 dayThese fans were nothing but disappointment to me. I was told that Noctua Made QUIET fans but it appears I was wrong. These fans were Loud compared to my Case fans. The only reason I gave it two stars is because it did give good airflow in my 750D case. but other than that the fans for bad for cost and silence.

> 3 dayGreat fan made by a great company. Excellent quality as to be expected from Noctua. The only problem I had was not seeing all the wonderful accessories that come with the old brown NF A14; shoot, all of Noctuas old products for that matter. This product only came with the fan and four screws, no paperwork (I assume they just printed information on the box), no accessories (such as Y splitter and extension cables that comes with all the brown fans).

> 3 dayStrongest fan and quietest fan Ive ever used. One of these puts out enough air to force air out of every grill in my PC case on full speed. However, on full speed, this thing is pretty damn loud. Its probably tons quieter than any other fan that puts out a ton of air at the same RPM, but just worth noting that if you use this above 40%, its going to be loud and your silent PC wont be silent anymore. With that, if a little noise wont bother you, two of these on a 280mm radiator would rule. Theyve got excellent flow and a super high static pressure.

> 3 dayIve purchased Noctua products in the past and generally have been happy with what Ive received. I bought 2 of these for a new computer case since I was replacing an aging Thor v2. The first one I opened was packaged right (fan cable was wrapped around and tucked into the bottom of the box), while the second was not. The second was backwards and the wire was just laying on top. Not that big a deal, but I guess I was expecting a better packaged product. Also, only one of the fans came with mounting screws. Again, not a huge deal but consistency would be nice. Overall, theyre nice fans. They are not quiet once nearing full speed, but I knew this going in so it was no surprise.
