Hardware Slave - Noctua industrialPPC Fan Series
The Noctua industrialPPC fans that we have tested in this review have impressed us. It’s probably a little unfair to pitch them against the humble stock chassis fan, but most people will have them right now in their system and any upgrade is always a welcome one. The Noctua industrialPPC fans are not aimed at the average desktop end-user, but they can be applied with success.
The larger NF-A14 gives a great improvement over the stock fan on test and a couple of these would be excellent in a homeserver for example, or on a water-cooled systems radiators, the would move a lot of hot air away from the cooling fins. The NF-F12 would be an excellent upgrade for a normal desktop system too, they would comfortably cool servers and water-cooled rigs as well, but have a little better sound performance, so your tolerance is not tested by noisy fans.

The Noctua NF-A14 IndustrialPPC and Noctua NF-F12 IndustrialPPC fans are perfect examples; continuing to meet and go above expectations. Since these fans are intended for 24V industrial applications, with the superior material used for the construction of the frames, they do have exceptional build quality. They can be run in 12V environments, but they will not reach their maximum RPM. Through our tissue paper tests, we have seen all four models perform well with consistent airflow and abundant static pressure, although they can get pretty loud even at the maximum 12V speed. All models all have braided cables, which are always a welcome sight to see.
