Noctua NF-A14 iPPC-3000 PWM, High-Performance Industrial Fan 140mm

These fans are incredible. I highly recommend these fans and especially the Noctua brand of fans. I chose the 3000rpm because they have that extra bit of power if needed but they do a great job and just browsing or doing normal stuff that are great at 400rpm, a bit more intensive stuff they go up to 800rpm and for gaming they really shine at between 1400-1800rpm (most I’ve got up to in a game was 2100rpm Total War: Warhammer running at Ultra settings) The NF-F14 PPC 3000rpm moves an incredible amount of air and has great static pressure, the highest on the market. I have two as intake fans on the front of my case and one at the rear as an extractor fan. This create a “positive pressure” inside the case and there’s more cooler air coming in, I have the rear fan running a little faster to extract the warm air inside and the dust won’t settle in and on the parts inside. They are loud above 2000rpm but because of the air they move at around that speed don’t have to go beyond that and run at their the maximum speed except if you’re really pushing the components at a heavy load. I’d recommend to anyone if even you’re concerned about the noise at most they are 40decibels and in comparison are half the noise of a Henry Hoover (~80dcb) you can set it via the BIOS or 3rd party software the speeds that they run at speed you need via fixed RPM or let the BIOS control the temperature to speed ratio thereby running the fans higher at a lower temperature you can prevent a sudden build up of heat which means they have to spin up at higher temperatures rapidly. The only shame is you don’t get the accesories like the cheaper models have and its very sparse in the package but the price is well worth it seeing as how they’re going to massively extend the life of your components and keep your PC going for a long time.

I bought 3 of these to replace the fans in a Fractal define 6 case and have connected them using the Noctua NA-FC1 fan controller. I had some teething issues controlling the fan speeds but later discovered the 4 pin system fan connectors on my motherboard did not support pwm. However the cpu fan connecter does support pwm so with the use of an amazon essentials splitter to the fan controller I was able to share the fan speed curve from the CPU with the case fans. It is recommended to get a controller with these fans as they draw a lot of power when they open up. With the controller set at around half power the fan curve has them running from 400rpm to around 1350rpm depending on load and the cooling has proved to be excellent and pretty much silent while under normal daily use. I can hear the fans when gaming of course and would say they become noticeable at around 1100 rpm. However if I crank them up to full power (which I don't need to do and less playing with the overclock) the sound is insane and yet I am grinning like a Cheshire Cat because the sheer volume of air I can feel the fans moving is massive, the PC was cold alright the hole room went Baltic!! If you want to put a V8 in your Mini, now is your chance, it's up to you how you drive it!!

Powerful - yeh i'll say, but loud, very loud. Forget other fans these are decisive, others are by comparison just messing about. ### watch your fingers if your handling the fan whilst its running - they are very powerful ### The sheer scale of airflow and pressure is massive compared to other fans i have 2 in the front, 1 on the bottom grill of my Fractal Define R5 Having the fourth on the grill of the PC case left side panel produced a high pitched whine like a hedge trimmer, i couldn't over come it or deaden it and even though my PC is in the next room it was way too loud. So i had to move it. - my psu is upside down so its fan is pointing downwards through the bottom case grill and positioned at the back of the case - the fourth NF A14 3000 i have on top of the PSU blowing up onto the GPU - GTX 980 ti - the fan is angled upwards about 45 degrees - with the highest point resting against the back of the case - held in place by tough chord with which its tied to 2 places on the back of the case grill - the sheer cooling power of this is staggering - Dragons dogma at 3840 x 2160 with every graphics setting on max rarelys goes above 50 c and much of the time is only 35 c They really are a superb buy - terrific value for money

These are not cheap fans but in the searing summer heat (my Home Assistant dashboard clocked 37 degrees!) they've more than done their job. I bought three of these, and had been putting off fitting them for a while now but I had to take drastic action! Two as intake and one as exhaust and you can definitely hear them doing their job. Installation was very fiddly in my aged Corsair case but that's on them. I cannot praise these fans enough. My 5950X easily reached temperatures in the high 80s and 90s and the old fans I had (some had already broken due to age) simply couldn't cope. Now it still gets quite toasty but I'm not hitting thermal limits any more.

The package was simple, just take out the fan and screws that came with. This fan is a 4 pin pwm which you can control it's speed through your motherboard or fan controller if you have one ( I suggest a motherboard) Other reviewers said they couldn't go below 1000rpm ( paper said 800 minimum ) well, mine goes down to 300rpm to 2900rpm no problem connected through Asus Maximus Viii Ranger. Had some problems installing them as they are a little bit thicker then other fans, and my case only accepts its own fan screws so I had to force it a little bit to attach the tip of the screw. They are not as loud as the previous corsair ML 140mm at 2000rpm, that's Noctua for you. My case is a Fractal design R5 and with the front panel closed I don't hear it as loud if it's open, seems that it does it's job. Bad thing is and I've seen it on a review on Youtube, these fans have a click, because of it's motor design, you can hear it even if it's on 400-600rpm, on 1000 you won't hear it because it's going smoother I think. In rest, I recommend it for those who want silent and performance in one fan, I bought 2 of these. But if you still want more silence and not that mad for performance go for NF-A14 PWM even if they are beige and brown they are a lot better then these in regard of silence.

I previously purchased 3 of these around a year ago and they have been prefect and never let me down yes if you run them at the full 3000 rpm they are loud however I use the bios inbuilt fan software (ASUS) Q-Fan control and this allows me to control the fans with a custom fan speed to heat curve so if the need occurs they can throttle up and reduce the heat VERY quickly and with a MTBF (Mean Time Before failure) rating of 150000 hours (10 years) its simple decision you get what you pay for buy cheap buy often or pony up the ready's and get fans that are fit and forget apart from routine cleaning massive air flow and reliability what's not to like yes noisy if pushed to 3k rpm but if you want silent go for the consumer level fans these are industrial grade its go big or go home these are the dogs XXXXXXX recommended =)

So I bought 7 of these fans in total, with an open mesh front case, as I completely sacrificed noise for performance. Whilst my computer sounds like a hovercraft, the cooling is absolutely astonishing. I have 3 intake fans on the front, 1 intake at the bottom blowing directly on to the gpu and 3 exhaust. There is that much airflow going through my case that the GPU’s fans never really come on during gaming.. Temps rarely go above 60 degrees. They absolutely do their job, providing massive airflow if you have a few of them. But as boring as it sounds about the noise of them because all the reviews suggest it, basically if noise doesn’t bother you then go for it, there is no better fan on the market. Definitely directed towards a pc designed to run all day every day under heavy load. Loud, but impeccable performance.

sure these are very loud at full speed, but no one in their right mind would get these if they intend to run them at full speed all the time, in a room they use. in a server room noise isn't an issue, and in a home computer, you use a fan controller. and at low speeds, they are no worse than a normal noctua in my opinion. i look forwards to the many years of service they will provide!

Egzoz fan olarak kullanıyorum..tam yük altında biraz ses yapsa da harika hava akışı sağlıyor.

Great performance as expected. Since it is 3k rpm, the high pitch noise will start around 2000 to 2100 and above. Sharing this just in case buyers are considering this product vs noise. I also purchase the 120mm ones and that one is a higher pitch than this when it hits 2000rpm. It can be annoying when you are doing big file encoding for a lengthy period, ambient temperature plays a big role as always. Got these fans for my Threadripper and IceGiant CPU cooler.

Not exactly the quietest 140mm fan on the market, yet pushes the most air at a max of 3000 rpm. I have the fan control set to Performance Mode, which means it’s not running at 100% all the time, rather goes up and down with the load the CPU is under. So it varies between 1,800 to 3,000 rpm. Unlike most Noctua fans which comes with extras, these iPPC ones has only the fan itself in premium, protective packaging. No adapter to lower speed (probably would be defeating the purpose of these), the cord should work well. I have two of these as intake fans inside of my Fractal Design R5 (non-windowed) case with silence coating inside, reused to save money for a AM5 system in 2024. Speed is set to Performance Mode (PWM). There’s lots of airflow across most all of the components, even storage drives benefits, normally running a max of 32C even during long downloads. Actually, these are at most 3-4 inches from these fans, so those low temperatures are to be expected & contributes to longer lasting drives. Unless absolutely necessary, I don’t recommend running these at full speed inside of a home or office setting, this is why I prefer the ASROCK Performance Mode instead, it runs wide open only as necessary. These weren’t my first iPPC fans, have a pair of the 120mm ones on my CPU cooler (Noctua NH-D15S) running at full speed & keeps my Ryzen 7 9700X very cool at all times, these have been running at full speed for years, originally meant to cool a i7-4790K. So have plenty of experience with these. This fan is highly recommended for anyone who wants the most airflow possible. Installation was easy enough, the materials are of the highest standard of any fan I’ve owned & the color isn’t the typical beige & brown, rather dark brown with black fan. Nor are these cheap, but like with everything else we purchase, we tend to get what we pay for. Thanks to Noctua for their continued dedication to providing quality fans when most other brands are looking to make everything cheaper while still charging higher prices. There’s a 6 year warranty period, yet I doubt few will ever need to use it. But if so, Noctua makes this painless as possible.
