The performance plus low-noise technology comes in the form of many. It starts by not rushing things being patience and knowing what the consumer wants. And it ends in the form of AAO, Stepped Inlet Design, Inner Surface Microstructures, SSO bearings and a host of other features we can go on mentioning. The NF-A14 (both FLX/ULN) are ideal solutions for those looking for very good cooling in a case or good static performer as a radiator mounted fan. And with the aid of the LNA and ULNA adapters you have the ability to control the between set rotations of the fans without having to go the route of installing other components in the rig like fan controller or single knob rheostats. Benefits are quietness, performance, cleaner look and less building time. The NF-A15 PWM is another great fan if you the room for it. Yes, it does have same mounting holes of a standard 120mm fan but it is much wider 150mm. if you do have the spacing it is a nice alterative to a stock fan especially on a CPU cooler or water-cooling radiator as the noise is at a minimum and you still get the performance of a high-speed 120mm fan, if not better.

"Noctua shows that there is more thought that goes into making a fan than simply taking some blades throwing them onto a powered hub and putting them into a frame. Noctua takes the technology a whole lot further and increases the performance while making the quiet." (Tony Walker, ProClockers)
