Noctua NF-P14 FLX Case Fan

Comment:
Great fan, nice and quiet, no tacky LED lightsWorks great for top or bottom exhaustCurrently doing duty as top fan on Fractal R3

Purchased this to replace the stock 140mm rear exhaust fan of the HAF 932. Unfortunately I had tried a 120mm Scythe (rated 37dBa/110cfm/1900rpm) in its place, so I cannot give a direct comparison to the stock Coolermaster fan. Compared to the Scythe, it is much quieter and produced an overall improvement in temps.Highly recommended unless you really can't stand the... distinctly Austrian coloring.

Got this to replace a 135mm power supply fan. I wired it into the power supply's 2 pin adapter so the PSU could increase the speed if the temps rose. I previously had an Antec Tricool in there, but the Noctua is way quieter. The mod went flawlessly and the Noctua is cooling the PSU well.I didn't have to enlarge any screw holes, as the rubber mounts have some give and fit well into the 135mm holes. So if you want to quiet that noisy PSU, this is the way to go. Just be careful poking around any capacitors ;)I wish I had skipped the tricool and got this, but live and learn. The tricool is an excellent case fan when set to low. It's noisy even on medium I find.My computer is now extremely quiet with this coupled with some Nexus "real silent" case fans, and a OCZ Vendetta 2 CPU cooler.

High price and the overall dismal CFM output make this fan totally not worth it for me.There are a bunch of other fans 140MM fans that significantly outperform this fan. Kazemaru 2 is just one example of a fan, with minor noise that will outperform this a lot.The low spin speed itself makes this fan a poor performer unless you specifically NEED a silent fan.

Had it for 2 day, it has good air flow. The fan almost made no noise at all. Would recommend to use this on top of the case it just looks like a beast.

I replaced the 140mm fans in my 800D case for intake and HD ,very satisfied with the results .I have them going full speed all the time , i could step them down but pretty silent as it is.Definite buy

Comment:
great fan over all, super quiet and nice, though I would only suggest this fan if you have decent ventilation on ur case to begin with. It's a great fan but with low rpm and cfm rating if you are going to pull air out or pull in to the case you would probably want high cfm rated fan.however at this value and noise level you cant beat em

Comment:
I have a 120mm Noctua Ultra Quiet too and I love both of them. The colour scheme is really the only thing I can even think of that I didn't really like, but that's just nitpicking.

Comment:
it spins at 1200rpm, wish it had more, the airflow can be much better. I wouldn't purchase it again considering my gpu fan is louder than this, and there are 120mm fans that outperform this in airflow.

Comment:
this is still one of the best fans out there but for the price these goes i was expecting a bit more, if you're looking for a 140mm fan fit in a 120mm hole this is great

I bought this fan from the Markham warehouse on opening day to replace the rear fan in my Corsair 800D and match the styling of the 3 Noctua NF-P12-1300 I have mounted on top, as far as I can tell its getting more airflow. I like the styling of Noctua's fans, they actually look good in my 800D I think.

Comment:
This fan is phenomenally quiet and yet it pushes air quite well. On my fractal design R2 it dropped my CPU temperatures by 4 degrees just by adding it to the top. I'm going to definitely get a second one later. If only it wasn't so ugly. The colour is not a good match for any case on the market.

Fan is silent and is great air mover. Solid construction. Used this to replace the bottom intake fan on the 800D. 120MM to 140MM adapter worked perfectly.The rubber mounts are a great idea and work fine in a single fan mounting. However, they are impractical to install PROPERLY in hard to reach locations in your case. I've tried using these on the NF-P12FLX side-by-side on the top of an 800D and the 4 mounts facing were the toughest. They also come loose easily.Come with a bunch of fan cables which come in handy and can be used on other fans. Includes impedence cables and 3-pin to molex. While this is a great icing on the cake, a fan controller is a better investment; fans can be controlled to your liking on the fly.Would consider getting another to mount on the side of the 800D because stock fan is noisy.

I'm proud to say that i'm one of the first North American Noctua products users, and also did promotion for their products around my location, saying how great their products are. This fan is no exception, 140mm able to fit into a 120mm fan hole due to its circular design, including brackets for 140mm fan hole, the usual high-quality anti-vibration rubber grommets, fan screws, 3-pins to Molex fan adapter, also adapters for different speeds and their usual sleeved 3-pins cable fan, and their box explaining everything about this fan, its performances and how they were able to achieve this!This fan was a sure-buy for me from the very start when i was selecting my build parts, along with a NF-S12B FLX on the Antec Three Hundred, enough cooling and silent enough for moderate silent-enthusiasts (because hardcore silent-euthusiasts would go all fanless or 1 very slow-spinning fan to keep a little airflow, or even watercooling only)So if you have a 120mm or 140mm fan hole and you want good cooling while not adding much noise, this fan is awesome!

came with my cpu cooler, works fine, very quiet.overall a great fan, but still on expensive side since this is higher quality like all noctua products. if you want a cheaper alternative you can try to price match a scythe 140mm, which works fine too.

Comment:
Noctua have been known to make the quietest fans out there all while sustaining a very respectable CFM in terms of air flow. Other stealth fans usually cut severely into the airflow in order to achieve the noise levels of these fans. I love how the fans can be mounted into 120mm brackets, as this gives me an even quieter fan than my old 120mm fans, and gives me an upgrade on air flow.All this comes at a premium, of course, because you're almost spending twice as much on a single fan than if you were to get any other run-of-the-mill fan. If you really want your case fans to be silent, however, this is a must-buy.Color-wise, I realize that it might not go well with the rest of your case, but as I have a P182 without a glass window, I will never know.

I have not bought three of these to attach onto my thermochill 140.3 and they do work great. I can barely hear them and it keeps my cpu (i7 overclocked to 3.8) very cool (38oC). The only minor thing is the colour. I'm big into aesthetics and having brown and tan colour fans in a black and red case clashes. Nothing like a can of spray paint won't fix though.

Comment:
Long life bearing (time will tell) no mechanical, bearing or vibration noise its running smootly.Really ugly color should go with clear plastic.....no color at all

Comment:
Although this fan is quiet in this size, but this is no better than its brother P12. P12 push more air with better pressure and lower noise. I try to mount this one to Noctha N14 big CPU cooler but I found it better to have two P12 instead.

Comment:
Verry silencious fan. I replace my fans on my xeon dual pross by this fan, I had to made a spacer to fit it but its make noise down to zero. its look verry nice with an 120mm grill on it.

Comment:
I do not like this fan as much as noctuaès 120mm because although it is silent it does not move much air at all which to me is not really worth paying $22.

Comment:
If you don't like this fan, you don't like fans. I have two in the roof of my K-58, and they produce a barely audible woosh without the adapters. They are inaudible with them (you can hear other system components that you couldn't before.)

Comment:
Great fan, can push a decent amount of air at a reasonable DBA. $22 for a fan might be a little steep for most people willing to dough out, 4x $22 =$88, with this kinda price most can get a nice case like a small lian li :pUnless quiet operation is really important to you it be a good investment. Other wise get something else cheaper. :)

Comment:
Be careful if you're using the low-noise adapters. Sometimes at startup the fan will fail to spool-up at all due to the size of the fins. Recommend you use them with a full 12 volts.

I got one of these to move some air out of my case, and simply to try one out, to see what all the buzz is about Noctua fans. I'd have to say that unless my MAIN goal was lower noise, I wouldn't buy any more of these.Good things:- 140mm fan in a round frame, that allows mounting it in a spot for either a 120mm or a 140mm.... versatility is a very good thing.- comes with adapters to change the fan speed to make this item even quieter than it is at full speed(although full speed is still very quiet).Bad things:- the usual when it comes to Noctua fans, i.e. the butt ugly choice of plastic colours, although my case doesn't have a side window, so I don't care, but others might.- doesn't move a great deal of air.... according to my calculations, it's rated for about 65CFM, and although I don't know it for a fact, it doesn't really feel like it's moving as much air as other fans that are rated at the same CFM.Unfortunately, there's not that much choice for 140mm fans, and in the case of this fan, it's too bad there isn't a model or two that moved more air....
