Hey everyone!

 

 

I was curious about this since I saw them. Are they just normal noctua fans without PWM? I have a fan controller so that won't be an issue.

 

What does "FLX" mean? Help me out!

 

For example: http://www.amazon.com/dp/B00AEGRGNO/?tag=pcpapi-20

My baby: | CPU: Core i5-4690K  |  Motherboard: Asus Maximus Vii Hero  |  CPU Cooler: Hyper 212 Plus |   Case: Phanteks Enthoo Luxe | GPU: MSI R9 390  |  RAM: 16 GB - G.Skill Ripjaws X |

140mm fans with 120mm mounting points. Good for CPU coolers, Not so ideal as case fans.

 

EDIT- Nevermind, I might have mixed that up somewhat :/

I'd guess the FLX stands for flexibility according to this:

  • Providing 1200, 1050 and 900 rpm speed settings via the supplied Low-Noise and Ultra-Low-Noise Adaptors, the NF-A14 FLX (Flexibility) can be fine-tuned for superior airflow or maximum quietness.

Probably just flexibility for usages.

Specs: CPU - Intel i7 8700K @ 5GHz | GPU - Gigabyte GTX 970 G1 Gaming | Motherboard - ASUS Strix Z370-G WIFI AC | RAM - XPG Gammix DDR4-3000MHz 32GB (2x16GB) | Main Drive - Samsung 850 Evo 500GB M.2 | Other Drives - 7TB/3 Drives | CPU Cooler - Corsair H100i Pro | Case - Fractal Design Define C Mini TG | Power Supply - EVGA G3 850W
