The NF-A14 FLX is obviously the most versatile fan in the lineup, and it performed very well in each of the configurations it was put into. On the X60 radiator, temperatures were very close to the stock fans that were spinning a full 50% faster, thanks to the NF-A’s high static pressure, and the NF-A14 FLX made a drastic difference in the noise levels of the X60. Noise levels were way down, and the X60 was a far more livable piece using the NF-A14 FLX. Mounted as case fans, the NF-A14 FLX moved considerably more air than the stock case fans, keeping temperatures down while showing no increase noise. At slower speeds, the NF-A14 FLX was incredibly quiet while still exhibiting excellent airflow. [...] Noctua has again put out a series of absolutely top notch fans with the NF-A 140mm varieties. The versatility of the offerings should offer up something for the needs of just about any situation, ranging from extreme cooling to extreme silence. As always, Noctua’s build quality is second to none with performance to match.

"The Noctua name has become synonymous with quiet cooling and extreme performance. Many of their products are rightfully legendary in enthusiast circles, and deservedly so. Over the years, Noctua has set a very high standard for themselves to live up to, and the NF-A Series fans do not disappoint in any way. The three configurations are very well thought out, and add a great deal of versatility to the line." (George Cella, HiTechLegion.com)
