Noctua NF-A14 PWM chromax.Black.swap, Premium Quiet Fan, 4-Pin (140mm, Black)

Pros:

I dont think I need to say it but these fans are some of the best and quietest fans Ive have ever seen. Dont miss out on having the best fans out there

Im using it with a Noctua speed reducing resistor and its almost completely silent, yet moves a ton of air. Ive got it cooling a Yamaha receiver that is prone to overheating and likes to shut-down when it gets too hot. No thermal shutdowns since adding the fan, and its so quiet that it cant be heard just a few feet away. The included rubber mounts allow me to just set it on the receiver and it doesnt move or vibrate at all. Perfect. Noctua makes the best fans.

I dont know how they can make these things so quiet. You cant hear them running. At the most and aside from the industrial versions, all you can hear is the air moving, which unless you have some magical way of changing the laws of physics, that is what it is. The rubber antivibration mounts are easy to install and work well. I have 5 of these and 4 120mm Noctua redux 1700. I couldnt be happier with them. I havent had the opportunity to personally compare them with the major competitors. But others have and Noctua always makes peoples best PC fan lists. Others might be able to move more air, but the trade off is noise. Others might have a higher static pressure but again there is trade offs. Noctuas have a perfect balance of airflow and static pressure. Is there cheaper fan options? Of coarse but none with this quality of build. You get what you pay for in life. They are rated and warrantied to last a full 6 years at max RPM.

No complaints, works perfectly. Its difficult to write a flowery review when the design specs are all right on the page, and the products reputation exceeds anything i can say in my review.

These are the best fans you can get by far. It’s like buying a German car, They are just built differently and engineered better. Now that they are made in black and not the old brown color, this is a no brainer! They move a lot of air and are super quiet. This is the one to get if you want to push hot air out of a Case OR pull cool air in. If you can fit them, just get the 140mm ones for the front, back and top! They are perfect for static pressure and moving air. Only use 120 if you absolutely can’t fit 140!!!!

what can i say. amazing quality. quiet, powerful, well made product.

The fans here are awesome, and the fans themselves are worth the cost. The only problem I have here is that they only come with one, very short 4 pin connector. This makes it very difficult to plug in all the fans. The original version (i believe) included y split cables as well as extensions. These would be very useful, and Im disappointing they were not included.

How do you make the best PC fans in world better? You make them black.

They are not as quiet as others I have used.
