Like all Noctua fans, the chromax edition models feature an MTBF of more than 150,000 hours rating and come with a full 6-year manufacturer's warranty. Partly thanks to this design, an average Noctua fan can run no less than 150,000 hours, approximately 17 years!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. Supporting fully automatic PWM speed control, the chromax edition fans use Noctua’s custom-designed NE-FD1 PWM IC that integrates Smooth Commutation Drive (SCD) technology. Designed for pressure demanding applications such as heatsinks and radiators, the Focused Flow™ frame features eleven stator guide vanes that straighten, channel and focus the airflow, which allows the NF-A14 to rival the performance of conventional fans running at much faster speeds.

At the same time, it is perfect for use on 140 mm water cooling radiators, where the square shape guarantees complete coverage of the cooling fins and thus the best pressure performance. The only downside is their colour scheme but If you're like me and prefer function over form, you can't get any better. By providing smoother torque impulses, SCD suppresses PWM switching noises and thus makes the fan quieter at low speeds.

So I can use PWM fan control with this hub, but the control is still restricted by the FLX voltage based regulator of the fans, correct? The self-developed fans from Noctua, which are also available separately to serve as case or CPU fans, are largely responsible for this. This material can withstand temperatures up to 140°C and makes the fans even more robust and break-proof than Noctua’s standard fibre-glass reinforced PBT fans. Inside the box, there are multiple connections, to reduce fan speed, to extend the cable, or a two way adapter.

Its square shape and 140mm mounting holes make it an excellent choice for use on water-cooling radiators or as a case fan. Noctua’s chromax line fans use a modular cabling system and come pre-fitted with a fully sleeved black NA-EC1 30cm cable. By combining the various colours with black or leaving off the pads on one side, the fan can be coordinated with most popular build colour schemes out of the box. Noctua is one of the well-known names in the silent cooling sector, with the Austrian manufacturer's CPU coolers in particular enjoying an excellent reputation.Registered office: Klarna UK Limited, 7th Floor, 33 Cavendish Square, London, W1G 0PW, United Kingdom. Installation is easy and modular, I'm using mine to replace the Corsair fans I have and it did make it quieter for no loss in performance. When you get a complete kit of the consumer (beige and brown) Noctua fan of your choice it's clear that this is a well considered piece of equipment.

Gen - 12700k CPU with Noctua NH-D15 Chromax Black cooler and 4 x Noctua Fans keeps my system at 27c at Idle,. Like all Noctua fans, the NF-A14 has an MTBF specification of over 150,000 hours and comes with a full 6-year manufacturer's guarantee. Noctua fans are also responsible for this, which are also available separately to serve as a housing or CPU fan.

For even greater cooling performance on current high-end CPU coolers, the width has been extended to 150 mm and complemented by advanced aerodynamic design measures such as Flow Acceleration Channels, which again improve the silent performance. Just turn the power supply upside down to take air in through the bottom so it doesn't compete with the GPU for air.
