Noctua NF-A14 PWM Linus Tech Tips Edition fan - 140mm [NF-A14 PWM LinusTechTips-Edt]

The square shape and 140mm mounting holes make it an excellent choice for use on water-cooling radiators, particularly large heat sinks or as a case fan. Through advanced aerodynamic design measures such as Flow Acceleration Channels of NF-A14 achieved over the award-winning, older NF-P14 further improved quiet cooling performance. The A14 PWM current thus represents the spearhead of fan technology.

The PWM version features Noctua's specially-FD1 IC designtem NE for fully automatic speed control and is delivered with a Low-Noise adapter, which allows a reduction in the maximum rate of 1,500 to 1,200 r / min. His performance-oriented maximum speed and the comprehensive options for speed control make the NF-A14 PWM to a point solution for users who want to achieve a perfect balance between excellent cooling performance and superb running smoothness - no matter whether on water-cooling radiators, heat sinks or ventilation of the case!

Noctua NF-A14 PWM has become a standard solution for PC enthusiasts who need the 140mm fan in premium quality. Through extensive aerodynamic optimization of the NF-A14 achieved compared to its renowned predecessors even higher static pressure and a once again improved ratio of capacity and noise.

With its square frame and 140s mounting holes (124.5 mm hole spacing) of NF-A14 is an ideal premium upgrade for standard 140 mm case fan. At the same time it is perfect for use on 140 mm water-cooling radiators, where the square shape guarantee a complete coverage of the cooling fins and thus best printing performance. The impeller of the NF-A14 is equipped with so-called suction Flow Acceleration channels. By speeding up the airflow in the critical outer regions of the fan blades suction vortex shedding can be reduced, resulting in a higher efficiency and a lower turbulence induced noise emission.

Noctua's AAO (Advandced Acoustic Optimisation) frames have built-in vibration buffer and a stepped inlet area (Stepped Inlet Design) and a microstructure inside (Inner Surface Microstructures), allow an even better performance / noise efficiency. Made from extra soft silicone anti-vibration pads reduce the transmission minimal vibration and are also compatible with all standard screws and standard mounting systems or CPU coolers used fan brackets.

In order to guarantee the highest level of manufacturing precision, tight tolerances and excellent long-term stability, the NF-A14 accesses a CNC milled back bearing shell made of brass. The NF-A14 is equipped with the further optimized second generation of Noctua's proven SSO-bearing system. SSO2 at the back magnet is closer to the fan axis, thus causing an even better stabilization, resulting in a further improved precision and durability. So annoying operating noise of the fan bearing can be permanently avoided.

Noctua's fans are known for their impeccable quality and outstanding longevity. Like all Noctua fans, the NF-A14 PWM Linus Tech Tips via an MTBF specification of more than 150,000 hours and is delivered with full 6 years manufacturer's warranty. Short: Real Noctua quality with a new look!
