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

Great! I know they say they're quiet, but I didn't realize just how much quieter they would be. Love them! Keeping my PC nice and cool. Installation was a breeze, and they had these weird rubber things that you squeeze through the screw holes instead of screwing. They also have rubber ends to minimize the risk of any rattling. I'm very sensitive to those types of sounds, including the high pitched frequency of coils when it gets a little lower (e.g. at/near idle, low voltage), but I have no problem with these at all :) Oh and they also came with extensions in case you need it. WORTH.

I've been a strong supporter for the Noctua REDUX line and have been using them in all situations where ever possible. But, I am currently building a "new" computer in a modern case and wanted to make a statement. So, this computer will be all Noctua "Classic Line" (Brown and Tan) using the best of choices as needed. The NF-A14 PWM meets those needs, having a great mix of high airflow, low noise and high static pressure. it was an obvious choice in my black "Cougar Uniface S" case. The quality of the fan and the startling contrast will make this build a real beauty. I'd post a photo but with 5 different brand fans in it, it sorta looks like a junkyard build. Maybe later when it's complete.To add another point, when we talk about the lifetime of your basic sleeve or ball bearing fan, that time span might run from less than a year to maybe 2 years. Some will claim longer, but I run these systems 24/7 365 days a year - that's 8736 hours of power on time. For those 8 hour a day, every day users that power off, that's only 2912 hours. My systems run 3 times as many hours.I've put other brands cheap fans in cases when people drop off a box of parts and ask me to build them a computer. In several such builds, those fans have failed in as little as 3 months.In all situations where I was able to convince people that "proper" cooling was a more serious part of the system design, I used Noctua fans. It's going on 16 years, dozens of builds and perhaps upwards of 130 Noctua fans and I have NEVER had one up and fail.That being said, I do have one that is about 15 years old - 9 years passed it's warranty date - that needs a push to start every so often. Once started, it runs at full speed and is just as quite as its twin of the same age.But, we are not talking about a few months or a year or two, we are talking about a company that makes fans to last and last and last. And to top it off, it is this very thing that has inspired other companies to stop making cheap trash products and start making something really worth putting their brand on.With my choice of the Noctua NF-A14 PWM and all other Noctua products, I feel that I am investing in more than just an excellent line of products. I am investing in a concept, an ideal if you will, with a company that believes in their products and designs as well as providing exceptional support for the simple to extreme.==========I had to cut up two of their 20cm fan frames to fit in a case that was not made for their fans. But, I was determined and sent them an email about what I was doing with pictures. Their reply was not what I expected: They were excited that someone would go through all this trouble and obvious financial risk to resolve a problem like this.Instead of the usual "You know you are voiding the warranty." and "Our products are not meant to be cut up like that."The reply I got was more like, "Wow, cool!"My kind of people!Note: I have not received, expect to receive or been offered, any kind of compensation for these facts, statements or my opinion.=====Fourth fan recently arrived in excellent condition.All I can say about these products is that while they may seem a bit pricey at first, I've never had to replace one for failing. And, again...we are talking about a period of many years. I'll never use a ball or sleeve bearing fan again.

It’s Noctua—what else needs to be said? Quiet, efficient, and top-tier quality as always.

Top tier

Update: lol it came with screws and I just didn’t see them. It’s a quality product.They include a useless y adapter/ splitter but do not include real screws. Instead they include silicone mounts that an insanely hard to install. I’m sure there are many cases, even with my massive Fractal Meshify 2 XL case I had a very had time installing. Why can’t include real screws. I usually really like Noctua as the are the best but this is ridiculous. I honestly hope who ever is in charge of the decision not to include real screws gets fired for the freaking PIA that these are to install.Seriously they include a freaking splitter that is of no real use for a single fan and don't include the screws. Really how expensive are 4 fan screws.If you are looking for an easy install look elsewhere until they include real screws.Noctua this is not ok, you much better than this….I am so pissed at the product for being a real PIA to install because they don’t include screws.To be clear I don’t have a problem with the fan it’s just the installation mounts that are stupid hard to install(totally takes the fun out of building a pc(shame on you Noctua).FYI I don’t write reviews very often but I want Noctua to wake up a change this product because it’s an incredibly stupid decision not to include real screws.

Fan will probably outlast my pc parts before I ever have to replace. Love Noctua stuff.

🇺🇸Noctua fans are the best fans I have ever tried, both for use in a custom PC build and for other non-conventional cooling systems. In this case I have used my Noctua fans to make a custom base for my MacBook. They are extremely quiet in this case using my laptop and the Noctua fans (140mm and 90mm) of my cooling base generally the noise in my work studio does not exceed 40db. Highly recommended.🇪🇸Los ventiladores noctua son los mejores ventiladores que he probado, tanto para usar en un custom pc build como para otros sistemas de refrigeracion no convencionales. en este caso he usado mis ventiladores noctua para hacer una base personalizada paraa mi MacBook. Son altamente silencionsos en este caso usando mi laptop y los ventiladores noctua (140mm y 90mm) de mi base refrigerante generalmente el ruido en mi estudio de trabajo no supera los 40db. Altamente recomendados.

As expected, it does what it's supposed to do, and does it well.
