Cooling your PC is fundamental for the overall performance of your system. If you don’t have the correct CFM’s running through your case you will run into hotspots and hardware failure. The problem that is native to multiple fans for cooling is the ambient noise level gets affected. Silent fans are hitting the market left and right and it is getting harder and harder to tell which ones are quality and which aren’t I am not stating by any means that any fan is truly 100% quiet but I will say this some perform better than others and Noctua is one such company that has a consistent winning streak when it comes to performance to noise ratio. Let’s check out the Noctua NF-P14 FLX Fan and see what you can expect from this product.

Specifications and Features:

140mm Impeller with Vortex Control Notches Thanks to its psycho-acoustically optimised nine blade impeller with staggered Vortex-Control Notches, the NF-P14 combines superb quietness with exceptional airflow and static pressure.  |
 |
Metal Reinforcements Both the impeller hub and the bearing shell of the NF-P14 are metal reinforced in order to achieve ultimate manufacturing precision, high durability and vibration-free running. |
 |
Round frame with 120mm mounting holes Using a round frame with the same hole-spacing as common 120mm fans and producing more airflow due to its larger diameter, the NF-P14 is a perfect upgrade for 120mm CPU or case fans. Thanks to the supplied adaptors, the NF-P14 also fits common 140mm mounting holes. |

3 speed settings for full flexibility Providing 1200, 900 and 750 rpm speed settings via the supplied Low-Noise and Ultra-Low-Noise Adapters, the NF-P14 FLX (Flexibility) can be fine-tuned for superior airflow or maximum quietness. |

Conclusion:
Overall the Noctua NF-P14 FLX is another great products from Noctua it runs nice and silent and has all the bonuses I have come to expect from this company. Although it is not made with the flashy gamers in mind it is a great product and I must say all of my CPU tower coolers are sporting Noctua Fans because they are quiet and they push a ton of air.
Would I recommend this product? As I do with more Noctua products I would have to say yes. Noctua is by fair one of the best cooling companies I have ever had the pleasure of using products from and they stand by their products.
Pros:
- Quiet
- Great Design
- Moves a lot of air
- I like the Style of the Noctua Products
Cons:
- Might not be the Best for Flashy LED Loving Gamers
