Noctua NF-A14 iPPC-3000 PWM, Heavy Duty Cooling Fan, 4-Pin, 3000 RPM (140mm, Black)

I've loved Noctua fans for ages. Most people will agree, when you need a fan that actually moves air, Noctua is the way to go.The Industrial PPC fans are different than most of the others they sell. These have the highest RPM and Static Pressure ratings of all their fans. Sure, RGB fans look nice, sure some other fans can move a lot of air, but CFM and looks aren't everything. Do you need to get solid airflow through a radiator or a fan grill? Static pressure is better than pure CFM.In the case of the Industral PPC 3000 RPM version, you get both... and up to about 50% RPM or so, they push harder and more air than the "standard models" at the same speed, and are barely any louder... but if you're running heavy workloads on a water cooling build and dB levels aren't important for your application, you will be hard pressed to find as high quality of a fan that will move as much air as these do through the restriction imposed by a high fins-per-inch radiator.My Threadripper 3960X and RTX4090 are both water cooled, and I have a 420 radiator for each- Both are notoriously power hungry, especially when overclocked. I can run the hardest workloads in the world on that machine with these fans running at 100% and never hit any temperature-related throttling while remaining well below their maximum temperatures. For normal workloads, I barely need the fans to spin at all, in fact for that setup at idle, all my fans are at 0 RPM the majority of the time, but when it crosses my fan start threshold, they can barely spin and pull enough heat out of the water to keep temps low while making almost no sound at all. Considering this build has NINE of these fans in it (3 move air thru the case, 6 are for the radiators) even with all 9 at 25% RPM, you just don't really hear them but you can feel the air they're moving even with the radiator restriction.

Even though they're about as loud as a leaf blower (yeah, that's a tiny exaggeration), yes, they are loud when on high speed. But I have been using these fans for a few years now, and when they normally sell on their website for $54 a fan, I was like, how could I pass up this deal at $32? Also, they are hard to find because they are always sold out. So when I saw these here, I just knew I had to get them as fast as possible, even though I don't need them right now, and I always like to have some backup for my other seven fans in total just in case one or two goes out. I will have my favorite fans at my disposal.These are some great fans. They perform well. They might be expensive, but they can put out some leaf blower air, enough to blow your hair back. These are very, very highly recommended.

Fan Performance, Cooling, and build quality are all factors when considering your air flow system. These fans deliver on performance and cooling, they also deliver noise at a level you may not be ready for when they reach 3000rpm. The middle curve at around 2100rpm is about 29db - 32db which is where 80% of the fan options will cut off at and where this takes it to another level. If your case has limited fan options and you need the maximum airflow with a fan that's going to live as long or longer than your PC, this is where I get the most bang for my buck. At 3000rpm you will be reminded of a Jet Engine keeping your system cooler than the competition.

Great fans, bought a couple more to fill my case, very high rpm's, would recommend tuning them after installing to avoid unnecessary sound.

This fan is fantastic. It moves a ton of air. The noise isn’t terrible either. Honestly, it worth it for the performance. Easy to install plus aesthetically pleasing.

UPDATED 10-22 : Fan-Tastic!!! Pun intended! Amazing fans.. They're so awesome and powerful, you can stand behind my PC and feel air blowing on you from a foot away. Absolutely love them. Right now I have 2 of these Industrial 3000's, 1 intake 1 outtake accompanied by 4 more fans (140mm Phanteks), 2 intakes and 2 outtakes. I plan to switch out the other 4 Phanteks with 2 more of these. Excited to get the next 2 over the coming months.I would like to state, they aren't that loud, way too many people over exaggerated the noise, even at full speed! Yes, they are louder than your average case fan so if a normal case fan bothers you, these will but take into account were also moving 10K cfpm of air with these vs 500-1K cfpm from your typical case fan. That's ALOT of air! But yea, I don't have to yell at my spouse when they're on when we are near the PC, I don't hear them when they're running from another room (some said it woke up the neighbors!), they don't shake my desk, levitate my PC or sound like a plane landing in my house ect.. I almost canceled buying these because of the really bad misinformation out there, luckily I stuck with my gut.With these fans I am securing the longevity of the investment made in my PC, already just swapping 2 of these in place of 2 of my Phantek fans, everything is 5-10 celscius cooler than before. They are PVM so in my BIOS I programmed them to run at basically 50% idle (20-30 celscius), 70% mid load (30-40 celscius) and 100% full CPU load (50 celsius and above) ensuring my hardware stays cool and my case ventilated. I have better tempts on everything, GPU, CPU, PSU and MOBO. They're expensive but the life they'll add to my components by keeping them cool will pay off ten fold I am sure. If your serious about taking care of your PC, adding longer lifespans to your expensive hardware and want the assurance of being able to run your PC for long times without fans catching flame, then buy these. That was another reason I got these fans, I do lots of downloading/uploading and my PC is on for long periods of time, these fans give me peace of mind that I won't wake up to a house fire.Initially gave these fans 4 stars for the poor packaging and I am still not overly happy with the way they were packaged but the performance they give far outweighs the packaging and so 5 stars is what they are to receive now that I've used them and seen the drastic tempt changes. Very impressed! Not too loud, incredibly efficient and are easy on the eyes too. Highly recommend these fans for serious enthusiast or those who want to throw a PC in a closet/underground for server type applications, it covers all aspects of use and is backed with unsurpassed assure and quality. A+++ 10/10.Noctua: Thank you Noctua, for surprising me again with your incredibly high quality fans. I love you guys and is why I chose your NH-D15 over a AIO/Closed Loop Liquid cooler for my CPU, which by the way rivals them in tempts. And why I buy your expensive fans, you guys are the best in the business and I am a proud supporter of your products. Just wanted to say thanks. I appreciate everything you guys do. Keep up the hard work! One thing I would like to ask is, please consider making a 200MM fan (industrial/redux/ect.) for us and give us the option to have black and brown fans for your coolers over the beige lol Thank you! Bye------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------I'll update this again shortly but I ordered 2 of these fans and 1 of the fans was missing 1 rubber vibration pad on the corner. I had to remove one from the other side and put in so that when I attached the fan to my case all the vibration pads were snug into place. Disappointed and not sure who's fault it was, you spend 25+ dollars on a single case fan, you would expect it to have everything it's advertised to have. All I got was a box, the fan and 4 screws, the fans weren't even secured into the boxes nor did they come with any type of paperwork or anything other than a fan and screws. The other thing that turned me off was the screws that came with my 2 fans. They were very odd having a huge gouge on the tips almost like that of a flat head screw driver that as it goes up turns into a full screw and because of that, difficult to screw them in as they wanted to cross thread.I'll update this after I power them up and see how they run. Still waiting on some other parts to arrive later today before I can turn on my PC. As of right now, they lost a Star from the packaging/screws. I was expecting more from Noctua honestly but if they perform as advertised then I am more than happy. Just thought I would share my disappointment. I'll report back later. Thank you for your time. Have a nice day.

Quiet, worked. Required case modification in my case so mild cosmetic issues. At least no lights. Moves enough air to be useful. Nice compromise between noise and cooling.
