Based on the popular NF-A14 retail fan, Noctua’s dustproof industrialPPC fans are designed with one thing in mind, high performance, as well as all the other innovative features one has come to expect from Noctua.

Supporting fully automatic PWM speed control, the chromax edition fans use Noctua’s custom-designed NE-FD1 PWM IC that integrates Smooth Commutation Drive (SCD) technology. Swap has an MTBF specification of over 150,000 hours and comes with a full 6-year manufacturer's warranty. Swap is a silent 140 mm premium fan with round AAO (Advanced Acoustic Optimization) frame and 140 mm mounting holes (105 mm hole spacing). Noctua is one of the well-known names in the silent cooling sector, with the Austrian manufacturer's CPU coolers in particular enjoying an excellent reputation.

Supporting fully automatic PWM speed control, the NF-A14 PWM uses Noctua's novel, custom designed NE-FD1 PWM IC that integrates Smooth Commutation Drive (SCD) technology. If you were to go with a custom card, I can guarantee you'd have temps reaching Founder's Edition, unless you had a STRIX, but that might not even fit.

Thanks to the outstanding aerodynamic efficiency of the NF-A14 design and the use of a novel three-phase motor, the industrialPPC version provides superior airflow and pressure capacity while keeping noise levels and power consumption moderate as against comparable high-speed fans. The anti-vibration pads made from extra-soft silicone reduce the transmission of minimal vibrations and are compatible with all standard screws as well as standard mounting systems or fan brackets used with CPU coolers. They give you the widest control (this fan for example can operate as low as 300RPM) and unlike other manufacturers do not emit switching noise.Swap achieves a high static pressure as well as an optimum ratio of the flow rate and the noise generated by extensive aerodynamic optimization. At TechNextDay, we’re not only a seller of PC components, but also a partner in your passion for computing. It says it's a PWM controlled fan hub (it does connect to the motherboard's 4pin Chassis fan connector, but the hub itself has 3pin fan connectors.

Stops at 0% PWM - When the fan is set to 0% PWM duty cycle by the motherboard or PWM fan controller, it will stop. The Noctua fans, which are also available separately to serve as a chassis or CPU fan, are the key drivers. I'd want a blower-fan GPU, as those pull air in from the front of the GPU and exhaust it out the back. Featuring sophisticated aerodynamic design measures such as Flow Acceleration Channels, the NF-A14 further improves the renowned quiet cooling performance of the iconic NF-P14. Noctua’s chromax line fans use a modular cabling system and come pre-fitted with a fully sleeved black NA-EC1 30cm cable.If you want a fan to act as an air intake, then the fan sticker will be facing the inside of the case. By accelerating the air flow in the critical outer regions of the fan blades, suction-side vortex detachments are reduced, resulting in higher efficiency and lower turbulence-induced noise emission. They mention that it is significantly quieter than the next best option, and the start up is now no louder than a heavy breath before settling down to silence. The PWM version is equipped with Noctua's specially designed NE-FD1 IC for fully automatic speed control and comes with a low-noise adapter that allows the maximum speed to be reduced from 1,500 to 1,200 rpm.

The PWM version sports Noctua’s custom designed NE-FD1 IC for fully automatic speed control via 4-pin fan headers and comes with a Low-Noise-Adaptor to reduce the maximum speed during PWM control from 1500rpm to 1200rpm. swap edition combines the NF-A14’s signature quiet cooling performance with an attractive all-black design and a bundle of swappable red, white, blue, green, yellow and black anti-vibration pads that allow the colour-customisation of the fan to match individual build colour schemes.Although there's plenty of choice, most mobos have a red and black colour scheme, exactly the opposite of my colour scheme of white and blue (and black). The NE-FD2 integrates Noctua’s proprietary Smooth Commutation Drive (SCD) technology, which suppresses PWM switching noises and thus makes the fan quieter at lower speeds. Noctua's NF-P14 has become a standard solution for PC enthusiasts who require premium quality 140mm fans. Noctua's AAO (Advandced Acoustic Optimization) frames have integrated vibration buffers as well as a stepped inlet area (Stepped Inlet Design) and an inner microstructure (Inner Surface Microstructures), which enable even better performance/noise efficiency. Noctua’s AAO (Advanced Acoustic Optimisation) frames feature integrated anti-vibration pads as well as Noctua’s proprietary Stepped Inlet Design and Inner Surface Microstructures, both of which further refine the fan’s performance/noise efficiency.
