Hey LTT forum, just wondering here what the Noctua 140mm equivalent would be of their 120mm NF-F12?

 

I will need the model number, cheers!

If one would exist it would have the model number NF-F14... but it doesn't

I asked the noctua support that they said Noctua NF-A 14

NF-A14, but it's not really equivalent. Because the NF-F12 is pressure optimized, the NF-A14 is more airflow optimized.

Noctua only distinguishes between airflow and pressure optimisation in 120mm (NF-S12A vs. NF-F12), NF-A14 works nicely both on rads and as a case fan!

Yep, that's pretty much it.

My favourite 140mm is BitFenix Spectre Pro, FYI. Slightly louder - but it significantly outperforms any Noctua fan in both air pressure and outright flow. So you can just turn down the RPM's and it willl become quieter than the Noctua at the same flow rates. You don't need a fan's decibel rating to be low for it to actually be quiet. I've never heard mine, they are constantly below ambient noise levels.
