Pros & Cons
Pros
This fan delivers. It's amazing build quality and the performance is also excellent. Performance over aesthetic's any day of the week for me. Very well, packaged.
Noctua nf-a14 pwm fans are great for cooling oc'ed cpu. Can be used as case fans or on a radiator. Perfect for case cooling.

I just dont have words to discribe quality of this fan.
This is, of course, to do with the fact they are designed for cooling industrial grade equipment and not your standard gaming pc.
Thanks to a special varnish coating that covers the motor and pcb, the industrialppc complies with the ingress protection rating ip52.
Price
Valuethere is no denying these fans come with a premium price tag and definitely cost a bit more than more standard pc fans.

Packaging/appearance
Noctua have definitely not disappointed in terms of build quality and packaging either, absolutely can't fault them.
Competitiveness
With all noctua products, these come with an incredible six year warranty!
As with all noctua products, time is taken to ensure that the product itself is quiet, but also performs well.
What i will say is this, they are also backed with a 6-year warranty, something which companies don’t just hand out to poorly d... Read More
Moving slightly away from the generic noctua colour scheme, these come in stealthy black, with chocolate brown vibration dampen... Read More

I did not like the slow airflow on the brown noctua fans so got these

At 100 speed there can be a noticeable case vibration especially with two fans but its still quite hard to notice

I thought about using the standard noctua but wanted something with a little more oomph as it would be the only source of cooling for my new build

Now this does make it more audible and certainly not silent by any means but this was not for a htpc but an overclocked water cooled rig saying that its not loud

But honestly for me i can hear from less than 1 meter away from my pc but is not really that noisy once u focus on playing games or listen to music and i could not even hear any fan noise anymore
