Noctua NF-A14 PWM, Premium Quiet Fan, 4-Pin (140mm, Brown)

Product Information

We’re obliged by EU General Data Protection Regulation to let you know about this right; we don’t actually intend to misuse your data.

Acceleration of the airflow in the critical outer regions of the fan blades reduces suction vortex shedding, resulting in higher efficiency and lower turbulence-induced noise emissions. 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. Optional coloured anti-vibration mounts - To complement the coloured anti-vibration pads included with the fans, users can purchase chromax line NA-SAV2 anti-vibration mounts that enable the convenient, quick and vibration-free installation of fans in standard mounting holes for case fans. If you were to go with a custom card, I can guarantee you'd have temps reaching Founder's Edition, unless you had a STRIX, but that might not even fit.At the same time, it is perfect for use on 140 mm water cooling radiators, where the square shape guarantees complete coverage of the cooling fins and thus the best pressure performance. By accelerating the air flow in the critical outer regions of the fan blades, suction-side vortex detachments are reduced, resulting in higher efficiency and lower turbulence-induced noise emission.

Supporting fully automatic PWM speed control, the chromax edition fans use Noctua’s custom-designed NE-FD1 PWM IC that integrates Smooth Commutation Drive (SCD) technology. I use it on a 140mm radiator and under 1000rpm its silent and at full speed it moves a tone of air through the radiator with decent noise levels. The reason I'm going for the Founders Edition is because I've got a mini-ITX case with a PSU shroud right below the GPU. Designed for pressure demanding applications such as heatsinks and radiators, the Focused Flow™ frame features eleven stator guide vanes that straighten, channel and focus the airflow, which allows the NF-A14 to rival the performance of conventional fans running at much faster speeds. The NE-FD2 integrates Noctua’s proprietary Smooth Commutation Drive (SCD) technology, which suppresses PWM switching noises and thus makes the fan quieter at lower speeds.While 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. Like all Noctua fans, the chromax edition models feature an MTBF of more than 150,000 hours rating and come with a full 6-year manufacturer’s warranty. By providing smoother torque impulses, SCD suppresses PWM switching noises and thus makes the fan quieter at low speeds.

New: A brand-new, unused, unopened and undamaged item in original retail packaging (where packaging . C. Sound measured in front of the case was 56,3 dB which according to the app I used for this equals a quiet office. By accelerating airflow in the critical outer regions of the fan blades, suction-side vortex shedding is reduced, resulting in higher efficiency and lower turbulence-related noise emissions.

The Unofficial Noctua Subreddit was created as a place for users to find information, share and discuss Noctua products.

Its performance-oriented maximum speed and the extensive options for speed control make the NF-A14 PWM a top solution for users who want to achieve a perfect balance between excellent cooling performance and super smooth running - regardless of whether on water cooling radiators, heat sinks or for case ventilation! Noctua fans are also responsible for this, which are also available separately to serve as a housing or CPU fan. Its square shape and 140mm mounting holes make it an excellent choice for use on water-cooling radiators or as a case fan.

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 award-winning retail model. I ran a 7950 right above a PSU with the reference GTX 480 above it, and the 480 was actually running cooler (then again, my card hasn't passed 80C under load so I'm special). Swap achieves a high static pressure as well as an optimum ratio of the flow rate and the noise generated by extensive aerodynamic optimization. Noctua's NF-P14 has become a standard solution for PC enthusiasts who require premium quality 140mm fans.
