Noctua Nf-a14 pwm alternative

Aristos
Go to solution Solved by WoodenMarker,

That's awesome. Might look into those more. I am looking for a white/black build but if I can't find a fan that is as good as the Nf-14 i might just get one. Thanks

Silent Wings 2's are similar to NF-A14's in terms airflow/noise but has a bit worse static pressure.

And also you can get the PPC version which doesn't come with any accessories but is black, they are louder than the normal ones but with PWM you can bring their RPM wayy lower than noctua says you can, my NF-S12a's can go as low as 120-150RPM!! That is amazing!

iPPC Noctuas aren't really worth getting if the better build quality isn't needed.

 

 

I am looking for a 140mm quiet fan (white or black) to use as an exhaust. Are there any fans that are at the same level as the Noctua Nf-a14?

Do you have any experience with the Phanteks PH-F140XP, PH-F140HP?

 

Any recommendation is welcome

No sorry, but I do have experience with the 2 NF-A14's in my case, they are amazing.

The color looks like crap in photos but when you see the fans in person they look really well built (Which they are) and very clean/professional.

No problem!

Also by the NF-S12a's I meant the non-PPC version (There is no PPC S12a), I would get the normal NF-A14 if you can cos they will be quieter but if you just hate the color then just go with the black PPC version.

Enjoy building your PC!
