[@magnushuber9085]

Thank you for the very detailed and systematic review giving the users a practical picture what they can expect. Tests like yours give us valuable input where we need to improve and we are more than motivated to do so. I believe you just made our engineers very happy, who put countless hours in tedious details, looked into hundreds of dead ends. We know that some brands are charging 3-5 times the margin and it may look like we could do the same - but we can't. Almost 20 years ago I promised customers affordable products. We are not leaving this path - never!

[@MrEvisc3rator]

FYI, I own both sets of fans (Noctua A14 and Arctic P14 pushing through a 280mm radiator), even though they're both quiet, I get the same temperature results for both, however, the P14 has certain RPM's that the fan motor doesn't like, while the Noctua's only noise is literally the air its pushing (I can't hear the motor at all at any RPM). So keep in mind the noise readings aren't always perfectly accurate as the P14 overall has a more annoying tone compared to the Noctua.

[@AndyU96]

Instead of checking the CPU temp, monitor the liquid temps in the AIO if that's an option, not that it would matter that much. Also, I believe there are 2 versions of the P14 PWM; one of them is just regular and then the other one is PWM CO (CO stands for continuous operation). I believe the noise thingy doesnt occur with the CO versions? I'm not sure though, someone please verify

[@rockfella27]

Noctuas are built better overall but for what they charge the fans should have more mtbf. You're really nitpicking here.

[@JustAGuy85]

@@AndyU96 The "CO" Continuous Operation one is just a DC, not PWM. It's the 1700PM fan with like 72CFM/3.x static pressure. You can control the fan speeds from 300RPM to 1700 RPM on it and just set your fan curves in the BIOS. It's actually the one you want. Outperforms the PWM with the higher RPM range. Just... you don't get PWM lol. It will be 100% all the time if you do set it to PWM, though. Gotta use DC to set the curve. It goes from 2v to 12v, I'm I'm not mistaken, and it's 12v @ .15a. I just know because I replaced every case fan in my case the plain P14's. Max speed is quieter than the stock 1000RPM 120mm Rosewill fans that came with the case. They're just quieter than any of the 120mm fans I've used. I'm enjoying the airflow... I feel the difference coming out of the case. They can pull air better through mesh filters and push air out mesh filters (which I don't really need the top mesh filter, honestly). I never used to feel heat coming out of my case. I have a Fuma 2 Rev B on my 5900x. Runs about the same temps, I'm using the Kaze fans that came with it. BUT.. my 6700XT runs around 5C cooler, now. It went from 80C on the hotspot to 75C in the same games. And those are just the most strenuous games. And I feel the heat coming out the back, now.

[@eco999]

Couldn't agree more. Noctua has the most pleasant airflow sound to the ear and requires high RPM to be became audible at all by itself.

[@NoName-st6zc]

Sry mate but stating that the only noise you hear from the Noctua NF-A14 is the fan pushing the air is complete and utter bullshit. I absolutely love the NF-A12x25 in every regard but the NF-A14 is an completely outdated awful fan. The noise that thing makes between RPM shifts is absolutely terrible and regardless of that it makes a lot of very distracting humming noises in a lot of rpm ranges and no, this wasn't a one off, i've tested quite a few of them and they were all equally awful.

Arctic has literally earned their name. Not only are they the cheapest fans in the bunch but, they also look nice, perform amazingly, and are very quiet. Definitely gonna get these and put the phanks halo kit on em to give em that rgb style that I want as well.

[@yoadknux]

I agree with some of the results. As an owner of 2x Arctic P14 and 2x Noctua NF-A14 Chromax, they perform pretty similar, more or less within margin of error. The difference is that 1x Noctua Chromax fan costs more than 2x Arctic P14. The noise comparison is kinda lacking. the two fans have a different noise profile, the NF-A14 has more of "air pressure" type of noise while P14 is "buzzing". If you really want to take it to the next level, maybe try to see if you can do a frequency analysis (Fourier Transform of the noise), because our ears (or brain, I guess) respond differently to different frequencies.

[@spacecy]

[@unitcharles689]

I have Arctic fans, 6yrs old in my i7 4770k computer still silent like the day i bought them. I have used them in nearly every build for friends computers and family. Everyone was impressed with how quiet the computer was. I have not used them in a heatsink. I have a phanteks 120mm heatsink with two phanteks fans. They are not noisy, however they have an audible low frequency at Low RPMs due to the mass of the polymer in the blades. I am super impressed with the results. I will be considering these fans down the road.

Man, you're lucky. For the past few months they're having a hard time keeping most models in stock across the pond in Canada... I'd like an extra one to match my other five, but you tell me if a single P14 PWM is worth 60$ or not. lol

[@kontrebassman]

I really like how you approach presenting all of this information to us, using color coded lines for each variable. One thing that might make it a little easier is disabling and enabling these data plots as you bring them up, that why we can see an even clearer distinction between why item x is superior to item y. I think they are pretty easy to follow already, but it might help isolate the tradeoffs better. That, or if in the sake of time, you could just upload that file for us to take a look at and play around with on our own time. BUT I think that's also going extra and I don't know if people really have a hard time with it in the first place. Thanks for what you do.

Thank you for this review (this comes 2 years late lmao). I bought the P14 5-pack für 35€ from amazon 2 years ago and I'm still so happy I made the purchase. They are still running smoothly, no issues at all and barely audible. They run on 20% most of the time which is almost always sufficient.

[@ebinrock]

Thanks, this helps! I'm planning a build shortly with a Fractal Design Define 7 XL case, and now planning on replacing the stock case fans (3 Dynamic X2 GP14's - the NON-PWM versions!) with 6 of the Arctic P14 PWM PST's. You should mention that the PST versions not only come in a 5-PACK for around $46 on Newegg (YES!), but the PST versions have 4-pin sockets as well as plugs, so you can daisy-chain them to one motherboard connector. (I plan personally to daisy-chain 3 to one (the top and back fans), 3 to another (the 3 front fans), just to spread it out a bit and reach the connectors better and maybe have better cable management.)

It might seem pointless to create my own considering what is available, but seeing how my own fan stacks up against those others would be fun.

[@pandoodl]

Hey, because of the numerous recommendations I installed six Arctic P14 PWM PST in my case, two of them being on an Arctic Liquid Freezer 2 280 AIO. They are about the best I've ever heard from the pure air noise and performance. But they emit a low frequency whine at certain (many) RPM levels. It might just be me, but I can't bear that noise. Already talked to Arctic about this and it seems very uncommon that people can hear this sound. Testing out the obvious runner-up now, the kaze flex squared. I've read about other people hearing it, but it's rare. Just bear that in mind when considering the P14. Also, due to missing decoupling from the fan (rubber pads for example), installing multiple in your case can lead to significant vibration noise.

[@treefiddy727]

It's not rare, Arctic fans are infamous for this "hum". It happens at 1000 and 1500 RPM and comes and goes at low RPMs. Good choice on the Kaze Flex. Also this test is flawed; using one fan as a radiator or exhaust fan with no case fans leads to misleading results

[@wdunn06]

Arctic fans are superb. Ive got 4 exhaust 140mm, a 120mm intake and 4 140mm radiator fans, all are arctic. Ive had zero issues with any of them. Good video

I switched to Macbook Air M1 for daily use, so PC is only gaming console. It is i5-10400f. Case is cooler master NR400, two 140mm front fans, 140mm fan at top and 120mm fan at rear. 120 fan on Freezer34 cooler. CPU cooler is set to 400rpm constant speed. 1hr of Prime95 = 73C peek temps at cores. Case fans are set to 400rpm on 1400mm ones and rear 120 is set to 500rpm. Inaudible, PSU switch off is most noticable sound, ony during boot when mainboard starting fans is louder. Now with RTX3060Ti, ASUS TUF triple GPU with silent bios. It is noticable during gameplay, so my fan control is set to GPU temps, not CPU. When GPU reach 55C case fans will slowly ramp up to 700-750rpm, but at that moment GPU runs at 1500-1600 rpm, so case fans noise is hiden behind GPU fans. But it is mostly air flow noise rather fan motors noise.

[@trollking6111]

I bought a P12 to use as a CPU heatsink fan for crypto mining, and I am very happy with it. The P12 is amazing, I am thinking about upgrading to the P14. I agree, Arctic makes a great product. I haven't tested this fan for an extended period of time. My last fan had dust buildup problems. I'm thinking of attaching a filter in front of the fan, or possibly enclose the case and put an intake filter. I usually leave the case wide open. I think the only problem area is the fan and the heatsink, so maybe I will attach a fan intake filter somehow.

Hope you will keep on making these reviews in the future and maybe pair some solid fans to a particular case for best config. Cheers!

I have the H500 and am currently using two F14s on intake and two on exhaust. The case in general is pretty restrictive so P14 may be a slightly better option, but it handled a 980ti and 3700X combo well without getting too hot under load (it'll always be at least a little warm because of the restrictive intake areas)

Still hoping Notcua would release the 140mm version of the NF-A12x25 soon, hopefully it'll shake up the competition.

Researching some fan options before doing my next build. I had the P12 fans and found them to be quite noisy, ended up swapping in NF-A12X25 fans. My new build will be in a Define R5 (for the ODD bays) and currently have one serving as a NAS. Installed all Noctua A14 fans after the Arctic F14 fans were a bit noisy too. I'm considering the P14 even though I've now replaced two different Arctic fans in two different l systems. The price to performance is definitely there I'm just a noise snob but also want the performance.... $40 for the five pack?! If it doesn't work out not much lost. Here we go!

Thank you great video!! it would be nice to know how each fans sound at different rpms

[@DanchyMT]

Great video ! I really love your content ! Could you please try, what is better as front intake ? 3x120mm or 2x140mm fans ? Since lots of cases comes with these mounting possitions.

[@SileLence]

Thanks! This is the Best video about 140mm fans. My choise is Kaze Flex )

[@CryptoJordanVR]

You should do a retest of your Best Budget, Mid-Range, and High-End CPU Cooler videos using Arctic P12 and P14 fans to see if the results are different using the same fans on all the coolers.

[@eric55406]

I was considering the Noctua and never bought any Arctic fans but now considering the Arctic due to price/performance. Thanks for the informative video!

[@PFbigfan447]

The only thing extra that you get with Noctua is the longevity of the product. 5 PCs later and you still could be rocking that one fan. Artic fans are somewhat new, but so far no problems with them. Artic even provides a 6 years warranty. Some Artic fans have a slight motor humming noise that is present at 1000 rpm. Anything more or less than 1000 rpm fixes that issue. Artic is a top level engineered marvel of a fan.

[@roryodonnell]

Interesting results. Thank you

[@rockfella27]

Watching this video again just to feel great I have 5 of these Artic 140mms cooling my new AM5 build.

[@SteeltechPC]

Love your work! Thanks

I have nine Corsair ML PRO fans in my system, they tend to be a lot louder than other fans if you let them ramp up really high but they also have more RPM at high PWM. Also they are loud in a different way, like a deep droning sound instead of a high pitched shrill. I tried out a pair of silent wings not to long ago since they would be obscured by my radiator / reservoir combo anyway but switched back to the ML again because silent wings stall at about 30% fan speed while the ML go as low as 15% before stalling out(the individual fan blades can actually be seen moving at this speed). It makes them overall more quiet in my four-thick-radiator, water cooled system where I can keep those super low speeds under decent load. In case someone is interested in RGB Fans it's also pretty save to say that all other software controls out there are light years behind iCUE, many outright bad utilities like Polychrome-Sync wont even allow you to address single RGBs of an A(adressable)RGB component. This all may sound like I'm a fanboy but I still couldn't recommend Corsair products to anyone because they are still way way way to expensive for what they offer, it's just a shame that the rest of the market doesn't want to catch up in terms of software and hardware hubs (combining fan control, lighting and thermocouples in one hub). Still I'm happy with it since it allows me to run two dedicated loops and have the GPU loop be controlled by actual GPU temperature.

[@123reivaj]

Very good video! Why are some fan blades different? Do they have a different function?

[@akujiwar]

Tidy. To the point. Easy to read graphs. Very good. I particularly like that you tested under different scenarios. Perhaps only missing fan sound recordings to give some idea of sound patten. Some may be more pleasant.

[@workingpixels]

thanks to You, I made my decissions about my case fans

[@MarceloTezza]

Another awesome video!

[@amorgan20111]

That time the cheapest fan gave the best over performance in all categories lmao!!!!
