Noctua NF A14 IndustrialPPC IP67 fans do they produce a lot of noise

[W-L]

Where would you even put the box in the case though, I want it to be hidden, could you put it at the back, I notice there are screw holes on it.

 

Anywhere you like really it's not specific to any location you can double side stick to to say to the side of a rad or near it to have all the fans plug into place. and tow cables leading from it back to power and the motherboard for control.

looks like the screenshot didnt grab exactly what I wanted....

Fixed!

I would just double sticky tape it to the back. its what i do on all of my builds and it works great. Check out my build log for ThePylon where I easily controlled 8 fans off one header. It will be in the picture of the back of the case.

I would use this swiftech one as its the best available, though only two like it are available to my knowledge. http://goo.gl/ppYw6D or http://goo.gl/JRkad8

Correct, the plitter I just suggested has SATA power.

take a look at what I just suggested. If you needed something like you just linked I would just make it yourself.

 

You cannot get the Swiftech one in the UK

Two best places I have found are wither behind your 5.25in bays or behind your PSU.

this phobya one linked earlier is pretty much equivalent http://goo.gl/lJd7sn

I will use a Molex then, would of liked to use SATA but I cannot get it.

get a sata to molex adapter?

Also if you have any questions ;let me know as I have set this up a number of times already.

How did you do your multiple fans, did you use this connector then use a Molex or did you go with a SATA adaptor

I have the swiftech one as its fairly easily available in the states. ive used it in probably 4-5 builds now. The original one I had from them was molex though. That Phobya seems to be essentially the same thing from what I can tell.

I call horseshit on that as im currently running the 2000rpm A14 industrial IP67 certified fans at sub 300rpm in Chibi PC as my main front intakes on a Kraken X41. Looks like I havnt updated the build log to account for the fan and cooler swap.

I was saying when using voltage control. Looking at the video posted by W-L. The starting voltage is 4.9-5v. Below that, the fan will not start. The chart in the video states the fan would spin 875rpm at 5v. When I tested it with fan controller at home, the slowest speed I saw is 970rpm. Any lower the fan will not start. And I have three of these fans, so I'm not talking out of thin air. Although they aren't IP67 version. So I can't say for sure if the IP67 version will spin at 300rpm with voltage control.  

 

I know when using PWM control, the fan can spin much slower than 1,000 rpm. That's why I suggest the OP to make sure to have enough PWM control.

 

Give the horseshit back to you, wiseman.

they are PWM fans, thus your unsurprisingly expected to control them with PWM

Actually you could ruin older PWM fans by not providing them straight 12v.

The one thing when running fans this slow you have to turn off the low fan warning. Just a heads up.

NF-A14 Industrial PPC has non-PWM version. Many people use non-PWM fan as chassis fan because usually the mobo does not have enough PWM headers.

 

Just an advise for the OP not to get the wrong fan.

Hello

 

Is the Noctua NF A14 IndustrialPPC IP67 fans loud, if you run them at 1200RPM, I keep finding comments that say they are so loud and they are not good, do you think these fans are loud

 

Also I am going to get 11 fans, what speed would you run them at for a Corsair 780t case

 

Also what speed on a Corsair H110i GTX in push pull for good temperatures and low noise

 

Thanks

If aesthetics are not a big concern/you like grey the NF-P14 redux are a slightly cheaper option that silent PC review still considers the best fan noctua ever made

As TheProfosist said it works the same as the swiftech one, if you want to not have another chain or modular cables for molex something like this could work to convert the sata power over to molex:

yep but with any of the slitter we were talking about even one PWM header which motherboards have to have is enough for all fans.

I used then in my ThePylon build. I needed a larger fan with a 120mm mount and I already had all the accessories so I could go with the less costly fans.

yep looks close to something ive used before.

You only cant go below 50% if you use them in DC mode...

 

Hint: If you buy PWM Fans, use them in PWM Mode.

[Metro]

I think mine are at 900rpm, they're practically inaudible in my Fractal R5 case.

 

Do they start up at 2000RPM when you boot or is it at 900RPM

I have Noctua fans in both my case, and on my radiator.

 

The case fans are connected via a fan controller, and thus spin at a constant RPM. The ones on the radiator however have the low noise adapter, and max out at 900rpm. They speed up to their max rpm when Corsair Link first fires up. But it's only for a second. My case fans do not.

Do you have them on push pull on the radiator, also what radiator are you using and do you have to buy the low noise adapter

They are push on the radiator. And i've got a H110i GTX.

That is what I will be using as well, did the low noise adapter come with it. I will need to get 4 fans on the Corsair H110i GTX

Noctua fans do come with the low noise adapters.

[TheProfosist]

Noctua fans do come with the low noise adapters.

Only the originals. The redux and industrial do not and the industrial could overload the adapter for the standard fans.

Was supposed to say do not.

Went back and fixed it.
