Noctua has introduced its much-awaited next-generation fan, the NF-A14x25 G2, a significant evolution in their lineup of high-performance cooling systems. Building on the legacy of the widely acclaimed NF-A14 and integrating technological advancements first seen in the NF-A12x25, this new 140 mm fan sets a new benchmark in the industry with its precision engineering and remarkable innovations.
At the heart of the NF-A14x25 G2 is its square-frame 140 mm design, a form factor known for its versatility in both case and radiator cooling setups. However, what truly sets this fan apart is its use of Sterrox liquid-crystal polymer (LCP) – an advanced material that offers superior strength, rigidity, and thermal stability, minimizing the deformations that typically occur at high rotational speeds. This structural integrity ensures more consistent airflow and reduced vibrations, leading to enhanced overall efficiency.
Progressive-Bend Impeller
A standout feature of the NF-A14x25 G2 is its Progressive-Bend impeller, which is meticulously optimized to deliver superior airflow while minimizing noise. The addition of winglets to the blades helps reduce vortices and turbulence at the blade tips, further refining the airflow. Noctua’s Flow Acceleration Channels, which guide the air more smoothly and rapidly through the blades, and the Centrifugal Turbulator hub, which stabilizes airflow dynamics, further contribute to the fan’s remarkable cooling performance.
The fan also boasts an industry-leading tip-clearance of just 0.7 mm – a critical factor in improving aerodynamic efficiency and reducing air leakage between the blade tips and the frame. This translates into quieter operation without compromising cooling power.
Noctua’s CEO, Roland Mossig, emphasized the extensive research and development that went into this product, stating, “After nearly a decade of work, we are proud to present the NF-A14x25 G2 as our most advanced cooling solution to date. The performance improvements we have achieved in terms of airflow and noise reduction are substantial, and we are confident that this fan will set a new standard in performance-to-noise efficiency.”
The NF-A14x25 G2 is designed for enthusiasts who demand the highest levels of cooling efficiency with minimal noise, making it an ideal choice for high-performance gaming rigs, workstations, and silent PC builds. The fan’s advanced engineering and thoughtful design make it a top-tier solution in today’s competitive cooling market.
Price and Availability
Noctua has also revealed the pricing for its newly launched NF-A14x25 G2 series, offering various configurations tailored to different user needs. The manufacturer’s suggested retail prices (MSRP) are as follows:
- NF-A14x25 G2 PWM: Priced at EUR 39.90 / USD 39.90, this model is designed for users seeking high-performance cooling with precise fan speed control via Pulse Width Modulation (PWM), ensuring optimal balance between performance and noise levels.
- NF-A14x25 G2 PWM Sx2-PP: Available for EUR 76.90 / USD 76.90, this dual-pack version offers greater value for users who need multiple fans, making it ideal for more comprehensive cooling setups in high-performance PCs or workstations.
- NF-A14x25 G2 LS-PWM: Also priced at EUR 39.90 / USD 39.90, this Low-Speed PWM model is tailored for those who prioritize ultra-quiet operation, making it perfect for silent builds or noise-sensitive environments where cooling performance is still essential but noise levels need to be kept to a minimum.
These pricing options ensure that the NF-A14x25 G2 series caters to a wide range of users, from performance enthusiasts to those focused on silent computing, all while maintaining Noctua’s signature focus on efficiency and quality.
