Noctua NF-A14x25r G2 PWM, Premium-Quality Quiet Round-Frame 140mm PC Fan, 4-pin (Brown)

About this item Next-generation round-frame 140x25mm design for unprecedented quiet cooling performance on 14cm CPU coolers such as the NH-D15, NH-D15S or NH-U14S series State-of-the-art engineering (Progressive-Bend impeller with winglets and Centrifugal Turbulator, Flow Acceleration Channels, AAO frame) and construction (Sterrox LCP, ultra-tight tip clearance) 4-pin PWM version for automatic speed control via 4-pin PWM motherboard fan headers, 300-1500rpm speed range (near-silent at idle, powerful under load), fan stops at 0% PWM (semi-passive option) Includes anti-vibration mounts, fan screws, Low-Noise Adaptor (LNA), extension cable and y-cable for running two PWM fans on the same header Trusted Noctua quality with premium-grade SSO2 bearing (MTTF > 150,000 h), safety certifications from UL and TÜV, protected against reverse polarity, over voltage and over current (short-circuits) Product Description Succeeding the award-winning NF-A15 and building on the technological innovations of the ground-breaking NF-A12x25, the NF-A14x25r G2 is Noctua’s next-generation round-frame 140mm flagship model: Made from Sterrox LCP, its highly optimised Progressive-Bend impeller with winglets, Flow Acceleration Channels and Centrifugal Turbulator Hub combined with a tip-clearance of only 0.7mm allow the NF-A14x25r G2 to further improve its predecessor’s renowned quiet cooling performance. This makes it not only a perfect fit for Noctua’s next-generation 140mm class heatsinks but also an excellent upgrade for existing cooler models such as the NH-D15(S) or NH-U14S series (Sx2-PP set recommended for push/pull configurations). The 4-pin PWM version supports fully automatic speed control via PWM fan headers and comes with a Low-Noise Adaptor to reduce the maximum speed from 1500 to 1250rpm. Its ultra low-loss etaPERF motor with Smooth Commutation Drive 2 technology doesn’t only provide unprecedented energy efficiency and running smoothness but thanks to the new SupraTorque feature, it can also leverage extra torque headroom to keep the fan at its desired speed when working against back pressure, thereby ensuring even better performance on heatsinks. Topped off with Noctua’s reference-class SSO2 bearing and a rich bundle of accessories, the NF-A14x25r G2 is a premium-quality product through and through. Its superior performance, comprehensive feature set, cutting-edge construction and state-of-the-art materials set a new standard within Noctua’s portfolio and make it an elite choice for the most discerning demands. Progressive-Bend impeller The NF-A14x25 G2 features a unique Progressive-Bend impeller with Flow Acceleration Channels and winglets. Its nine blades are swept backwards close to the hub and progressively bent forward further out. Working in tandem with the Centrifugal Turbulator hub, this design not only helps to push more air towards the outer blade areas where efficiency is higher but also assures maximum lift and near uniform loading across the entire blade span. Centrifugal Turbulator hub Acting as a turbulator, the new Centrifugal Turbulator hub design improves flow attachment in the hub region. At the same time, it’s centrifugal driving motion pushes air outwards from the hub area where efficiency is low due to the slow rotational speed towards the outer, high-efficiency zones of the blades, thereby increasing overall efficiency by optimising fluid distribution across the impeller area. SSO2 Bearing The NF-A14x25 G2 features the further optimised second generation of Noctua’s renowned, time-tested SSO bearing. With SSO2, the rear magnet is placed closer to the axis to provide even better stabilisation, precision and durability. Ultra-tight tip clearance The NF-A14x25 G2 has a record tight tip clearance (distance between the blade tips and the inside of the frame) of only 0.7mm. This highly ambitious design sets a new benchmark for 140mm fans and helps the NF-A14x25 G2 to work more efficiently against back pressure, such as on heatsinks or radiators, by reducing leak flows through the gap between impeller and frame. Scope of delivery NA-RC16 Low-Noise Adaptor (L.N.A.) NA-YC1 4-pin PWM splitter cable NA-EC1 30cm extension cable 4x NA-AV2 anti-vibration mounts Fan screws Highly optimised P/Q curve for all applications The NF-A14x25 G2’s sophisticated aerodynamic design allows for a pressure to airflow (P/Q) curve that is extremely strong in the critical mid-section. This means that the NF-A14x25 G2 is a true jack-of-all-trades with excellent performance in both static pressure and airflow demanding applications.
