> 3 dayThese guys are pretty awesome. The price point is high, but I wasnt going to sacrifice on cooling when building my new rig. Fan brings in a lot of air, is pretty darn quiet, and building quality is top notch. If you can get over the ridiculous color scheme (lets be honest, these are likely going inside the front where they wont be seen) then highly recommended.

> 3 dayOutstanding and quiet, using in a Thermaltake F31 case.

> 3 dayReplaced a Corsair AF140 and its just as quiet at full speed but moves more air and is waaaaaaay higher quality. The box it comes in is ridiculous but I guess just in case you didnt already now how amazing it is, it tells you on the box.

> 3 dayGood fans, switched out the fans on one of my NH-D14s with this and an NF-F12 pwm. You have contact Noctua to get clips for it. They sent them free. Now I have a quiet computer (not that it was that loud to begin with) until I do something that requires more cooling power. Later

> 3 dayI bought a couple of these to replace the noisy broken potato fans that came with my nzxt x61 kraken water cooler. They are a bit pricey, but they are near silent, unless you have them really ramped up like around 70-80% load, and perform much better than I expected. I dont really have anything else to say besides that these are most likely one of, if not the best, static pressure oriented fans on the market. They definitely wont match your system color unless youve gone with a desert theme, so if youre willing to sacrifice aethstetics for some fantastic air pushers, these are the heat sink fans for you

06-06-2025Rubber anti-noise screws are neat but in practice can be really hard to work with inside the case, especially once mobo and things are in. Otherwise perfect fan, silent, powerful, looks nice-- what else do ya need?

> 3 dayNoctua puts out some of the best fans and this one does not disappoint. Its quiet at max speed and moves plenty of air. I have these mounted on a H110i GT and its performing better than the stock fans. Ive yet to have a product from Noctua that disappoints.

> 3 dayThese fans are amazing! They move a ton of air and are practically silent at 40%.
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 PWM version sports Noctua’s custom designed NE-FD1 IC for fully automatic speed control via 4-pin fan headers and comes with a Low-Noise-Adaptor to reduce the maximum speed during PWM control from 1500rpm to 1200rpm. Its performance-oriented 1500rpm top speed and comprehensive speed control options make the NF-A14 PWM an elite choice for users who strive to strike a perfect balance between excellent cooling capacity and superb quietness of operation, be it on watercooling radiators, on heatsinks or in case ventilation.
Square 140mm frame
The NF-A14"s square 140mm frame with 140mm mounting holes (124.5mm spacing) makes it a premium grade replacement for common 140mm case fans and perfect for use on 140mm water cooling radiators, where its square shape will ensure full coverage and best pressure performance.

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. |
Scope of delivery

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.
