Quiet box fan 140mm

Pictures may differ from actual products

Benefiting from the latest technological advances in aerodynamics, including Flow Acceleration Channels, the NF-A14 takes the cooling performance for which the NF-P14 is renowned even further.

Quiet box fan 140mm

Overview
Exceptionally quiet!

The NF-A14 is a quiet Noctua fan in 140mm format with a square frame that meets Noctua's AAO(Advanced Acoustic Optimisation) standard. Its square shape and 140mm mounting holes(124.5mm spacing) make it the ideal companion for watercooling radiators or 140mm fan cases.

Featuring the latest in aerodynamic technology, including Flow Acceleration Channels, the NF-A14 takes the cooling performance for which the NF-P14 is renowned to a new level.

The FLX version offers, via the use of the supplied Low Noise Adapter(L.N.A.), speed settings of 1200/1050 or 900rpm allowing for flexible and precise tuning for high performance or virtually silent operation. Its amazing discretion, the presence of SSO2 reference bearings and the quality level guaranteed by Noctua make the NF-A14 the ideal fan for the most demanding users.


Successor to the famous NF-P14
Noctua's NF-P14 fan has become the benchmark in the PC world. Thanks to numerous successive aerodynamic optimisations, the NF-A14 now offers increased static pressure and an even better airflow/noise ratio than its predecessor.
140mm square frame
The NF-A14's 140mm square frame has 140mm mounting holes(124.5mm spacing), making it ideal for use with conventional 140mm enclosures or watercooling fans.
Flow Acceleration Channels
The NF-A14 impeller is fitted with flow channels on the suction side of the fan. The flow acceleration generated at the tips of the blades creates a more massive, less dispersed suction, thus increasing efficiency.
AAO frame
Noctua's AAO(Advanced Acoustic Optimisation) frames are equipped with anti-vibration mounts and benefit from exclusive optimisations to push the limits of performance and silence.
Stepped Inlet Design
Noctua's Stepped Inlet design adds turbulence to the inlet flow, allowing a gradual transition from laminar to turbulent flow. This reduces noise emissions, generates a more massive flow and increases suction power.
Inner Surface Microstructures
As the blade tips move in a boundary layer influenced by the presence of an Inner Surface Microstructure, the flow separation that takes place at the suction level becomes almost non-existent.
Integrated anti-vibration dampers
The integrated anti-vibration mounts, made of extra soft silicone, limit the transmission of vibrations while ensuring perfect compatibility with standard fastening systems.
SSO2 Bearing
This is the latest generation of the SSO2 bearing, which is even more optimised. The SSO2 is equipped with a rear magnet closer to the axle for greater precision, durability and stability.
Metal bearings
In order to ensure the highest quality of workmanship, durability and stability, the NF-A14 is equipped with a CNC machined brass bearing.
Smooth Commutation Drive 2
Noctua's latest SCD system ensures smooth operation by eliminating torque variations and switching noise. As a result, the NF-A4x10 remains very quiet even at close range.
3-speed adjustment for total flexibility
With access to 1200, 1050 and 900 rpm speed settings through the supplied adapters(low noise and ultra low noise), the NF-A14 FLX(FLX for Flexibility) offers great flexibility in terms of airflow and silence.
Extensive wiring options
The first fan cable is a short 20cm to minimise space requirements for common applications. The supplied 30cm extension cable will solve any distance problems.
Ultra-low power consumption
The NF-A14 consumes only 0.96W, which represents a reduction in consumption of more than 20% compared to the previous model. Beyond the ecological interest, the impact is also real on your electricity bill!
6-year manufacturer's warranty
Noctua fans have an established reputation for quality and durability. As with all Noctua models, the NF-A14 has an MTBF of over 150,000 hours of testing and is backed by a full 6 year manufacturer's warranty.

    Ventilator

    I am looking forward to working with you on this project.
    Other components are still waiting to be installed by other suppliers.

    silence - efficiency

    super silent as usual, I've only bought this brand for 5 years, they are very solid, silent, efficient!
    I highly recommend for pc's that you are going to mount yourself and to have 3 of them, two in the front and one in the back

    At the top!


    Highlights :
    - Quiet.
    - Extensive mounting and wiring accessories.
    - Overall reliability! With feedback from 6 Noctua fans purchased since 2008, not a sign of weakness, despite dust and more frequent use!

    Weaknesses :
    - The price
    - the look

    Efficient and .... silent

    I bought 5 fans for my Fractal Design R5 case after reading the comments and tests on the internet. I can say that I am not disappointed, they are ugly (it's subjective) but they are efficient. They are quiet as can be. A bit noisy when they are on full blast but perfect for cooling. The 5 fans are controlled via the integrated rhoebus of my R5 using the Noctua NA-SYC2 cables. Nothing to complain about except the colour but at least you can recognize Noctua right away.
    The packaging is beautiful and complete, we are talking about a high-end brand.
