Noctua Releasing PWM Version of Award Winning 140mm Fan
Noctua is doing it again and if you haven’t noticed this is one of my favorite companies. Noctua is releasing a PWM version of their award winning NF-A14 140mm Fan. If you aren’t familiar with what a PWN fan is then let me do a quick explanation. Basically PWN fans let you control the speed of the fan though your motherboard or on a fan controller.
So here is the press release from Noctua:
Vienna, May 2nd 2013 – Noctua today released a higher speed PWM version of its award-winning NF-A14 140mm fan. Its performance-oriented 1500rpm top speed and comprehensive speed control options make the NF-A14 PWM an elite choice for users who strive to strike a perfect balance between excellent cooling capacity and superb quietness of operation, be it on watercooling radiators, on heatsinks or in case ventilation.
“Our NF-A15 and NF-A14 fans have been very well received by customers and hardware journalists alike”, says Mag. Roland Mossig (Noctua CEO), “but we got many requests for a square frame PWM version for use as a case fan and on watercooling radiators. We can now meet this demand with the new NF-A14 PWM.”
Introduced in late 2012, Noctua’s NF-A15 and NF-A14 140mm fans have already received more than 50 awards and recommendations from leading international hardware websites and magazines. So far, only the round frame NF-A15 was available with PWM support for automatic speed control though. While the NF-A15’s round frame is ideal for use on CPU heatsinks, the new NF-A14 PWM now combines PWM support with the A14’s square frame that lends itself to use as a case fan or on watercooling radiators.
Like the NF-A14 FLX and ULN models, the new PWM version complies with Noctua’s AAO (Advanced Acoustic Optimisation) standard and features sophisticated aerodynamic design measures such as Flow Acceleration Channels. Noctua’s custom designed NE-FD1 PWM IC and reference class SSO2 bearings guarantee superb running smoothness and excellent long-term stability. Topped off with modular cabling, a Low-Noise Adaptor and 6 years manufacturer’s warranty, the NF-A14 PWM is a premium choice for the highest demands.

It’s a shame… if they just weren’t so damn ugly with the colors 😛 Almost impossible to color match them with any build!
somehow agree (Colors), but the design & Performance matters…
The color scheme is a bit plain, but I can’t say I mind the two in my tower.
Thats cool they are adding that functionality.
Yes, color is ugly, but that’s not the important factor 😉
Moreover, using such a color scheme allows Noctua fan to have a very distinctive and unique look, like a trademark.
Don’t mind the color, a computer isn’t made to be pretty, it’s made to be powerful, you don’t even look inside it while using it so it’s no problem
