While we couldn't possibly cover even a fraction of the fans on the market, in this article we are going to compare five 120mm fans to see which one is the superior fan for keeping you computer both cool and quiet. We will be taking a look at the DB-122 and DB-125 from Kingwin, as well as the NF-F12 PWM, NF-P12, and NF-S12B FLX from Noctua.
So you’re putting together your all out custom build. You’ve got the best processor, motherboard, memory, GPU, and case you can buy. Now is the time you’re going to have to start thinking about fans and cooling. Whether it be air or water, you will need fans. This is often forgotten till the end, and this item is crucial to bringing all those bits together and helping them to perform to their fullest. While there are many options when it comes to choosing fans, it is very important to be selective in order to get the right fan for your configuration as well as a good quality fan. Today we are going to be taking a look at a broad selection of 9 fans from one of the most lauded fan manufacturers, Noctua.
Noctua, an industry leader in cooling solutions which focuses on silent performance, has brought a new model of their style of fans to the market with the Focus Flow moniker. Focus Flow products are focused on airflow and static pressure while still maintaining silence with Noctua's brand new SSO2 bearing, NE-FD1 PWM IC, & iconic styling with vibration dampening rubber mounts.
Im November 2012 stellte Noctua seine neuen 140mm Lüfter vor. Drei neue Modelle der A-Serie NF-A14 FLX, NF-A14 ULN und NF-A15 PWM wurden dem umfangreichen Angebot an Lüftern von Noctua hinzugefügt. In wie weit sich diese Lüfter unterscheiden und welche Merkmale sie besitzen, möchten wir hier zeigen und zudem darlegen wie sie sich als Lüfter an einem CPU-Kühler verhalten. Zusätzlich hat es auch noch das altbewährte Modell NF-F12 PWM in dieses Round-Up geschafft.
Erst vor kurzen hatten wir die neuen NF-A14 und NF-A15 Lüfter von Noctua im Test, heute wollen wir die neusten NF-S12A Lüfter von Noctua vorstellen. In den Versionen PWM, FLX und ULN stellte Noctua uns je einen 120mm Lüfter zur Verfügung. Wir haben diese in unseren Testparcours ausführlich getestet und wie immer mit den bereits getesteten Lüftern verglichen. Wie die Lüfter der S12 Series in der dritten Generation abschneiden, könnt ihr hier in diesem Review erfahren.
Noctua’s new NF-A Series of fans blends legendary Noctua features, such as AAO Frame with Stepped Inlet Design and Flow Acceleration channels for the utmost in quiet performance, with some new twists and specializations. The NF-A Series 140mm fans come in three very unique models, the NF-A15 PWM, NF-A14 FLX and NF-A14 ULN. The NF-A15 PWM features a rounded 140x150mm frame with 120mm mounting points and 300~1200rpm operation, making it ideal for use on CPU coolers. The NF-A14 pieces use the standard square frame and 140mm mounting, along with 3-pin connections making them more suitable for use in cases and radiators.
Recently, Noctua released some updates to the NF-P14 fan in the form of not one, but three new models; the NF-A15 PWM, NF-A14 ULN and NF-A14 FLX. Each fan offers something slightly different than the other, such as the ability to mount in 120mm vs. 140mm fan mounting holes, or different speed/silence options. I was a big fan of the original NF-P14, which still sees use on my CPU cooler today, so I have high expectations that these new fans will bring me some noticeable upgrades to the series.
Keeping your computer cool should be one of your number one priorities when building or maintaining your system, but sadly for a lot of people it isn’t. Many people are more than happy with the stock fans that come with their cases, and sometimes they just don’t do the job and even worse they don’t do the job and they’re loud on top of it. Just because a fan is loud doesn’t mean it’s moving the amount of air it could be to keep your system cool. Up for review today I have one of Noctuas latest fans, the NF-A14 FLX, which is a 140mm fan and the FLX stands for Flex where the fan can be run at three different speeds depending on your needs and/or preferences. The NF-A14 makes a great fan for cooling your case or system or it can be used with a radiator where you need to move the largest amount of air to make sure things are cool. So read on to learn more about the fan and see how it performs…
Noctua NF-A14 FLX and ULN 140mm Case Fan Review Cooling enthusiasts will be familiar with the name Noctua as being one of the premier companies dedicated to creating high quality cooling gear and takes pride in knowing they are also the quietest.
The cooling fan is an integral part of any computer system, and not all are created equal. I personally prefer a quiet yet cool system and finding that balance is hard to do, thankfully Noctua makes it a bit easier with their award winning fan designs. The latest fan I have for review from Noctua is the NF-A14 ULN where ULN stand for Ultra Low Noise. This fan, at stock, runs at only 800 RPM but yet still manages to move quite a bit of air around your case but remaining virtually silent. If 800 RPM isn’t quiet enough for you, then you can use the supplied Low Noise Adapter and slow the fan down even further to only 650 RPM and yet still move almost the same amount of air. So read on to learn more about the fan and see some test results…
