Greater than one weekUsing these in a push-pull configuration on a radiator inside a case where it is mounted on top. Quiet and moves a good amount of air with no noise. The additional cabling is a very nice touch. Shipping and handling was more than it should have been in my opinion, but I knew it wasnt a PRIME item going in. Less one star for that. Check the shipping and handling before you hit buy. :)

> 3 dayNoctua fans are the best. They are the worst colour, but blow the competition away and make their colour their brand. If you need 140mm fans, but these.

> 3 dayI needed 2 of these to use on my Corsair Radiator. It works PERFECT!! as i used the stock radiator fans as an exit, and I use this as the intake for a push and pull setup on a Corsair radiator. I ended up using a splitter to splut the PWM fans, and I have all 4 fans controlled on the same controller.

> 3 dayRubber 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 dayMounted a pair of these in the front of my case to replace stock intake fans. They move a lot of air at 100% but drone quite noticeably; I usually run them at 75% using a fan switch on my case and they are still audible but quiet enough that Im not bugged by them with a headset on. The upshot of this is that they move more air through my mesh front panel at 75% than my old fans did at 100%, and are more quiet. These strike a good balance between static, airflow, and noise at these load levels. Would definitely recommend if you have high impedance from, say, a mesh panel or dust filter. I have not tried them on my radiators but the paper specs seem sufficient.

Greater than one weekPros - excellent build quality, quiet design, a lot of accessories, great static pressure fans
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. |

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.
