ARCTIC P14 Max - PC Fan, High-Performance 140mm Case Fan, PWM Controlled 400–2800 RPM, Optimised for Static Pressure, 0dB Mode - Black

Been using Noctua NF-A14s on my 280mm AIO for my R7 7800X3D in a SSUPD Meshroom S (I know a 280mm is overkill for this processor, I originally had a 7900X in there), and recently decided to switch up to these fans since I've had good experiences with Arctic products and I know the P12 Max is an excellent fan.Out of the box the first thing to note at 27mm, it is the same thickness as the normal P14, but this is a slightly thicker fan compared to other 140mm fans out there that are usually 25mm thick. This made it slightly cramped w/ my case since I use a fan grille, but there was still enough space. Unlike the normal P14 which only maxes out at 1700rpm (which made them quiet even at 100% rpm, great for radiators, but less flexible if you wanted to run a fan very fast and very loud), the P14 Max has a max RPM of 2800rpm (my Gigabyte B650i reported a max of of ~2700rpm), significantly higher, which also meant I had to detune my fan curves since the Noctua NF-A14 only has a 1500rpm max. At similar RPMs and noise levels though I did end up with about the same temps on my 7800X3D (CPU draws ~89W in Cinebench R23, pump always at 100%, CPU temps ~77.5C).The fan feels very well-built, and the only "complaint" I have is unlike the P14 PWM, there's no fan header daisy chaining option available. Thankfully the fan cable is of a decent length and is pretty easy to hide. Rubber padding along the 4 corners for anti-vibration isn't necessary but a great nice-to-have.The price varies a bit, but at the time of this review (and the time I ordered these fans) they're $13 each. Sure for a similar amount of money you can get a 3-pack of Thermalright TL-C12C-S 120mm ARGB fans, but this is a great price for a performance 140mm fan. It performs well, can push out a lot of air through a radiator from the sheer RPMs if noise isn't a concern,. If you don't need RGB, this is an excellent no-nonsense fan. However, these fans absolutely need proper PWM control, you need to have a way to control fan speeds because otherwise, 2800rpms max means this fan can get very loud. Once tuned though, these fans are great. I will note however the P14 PWM PST is still a good option if the price is right (currently Arctic's fan pricing is all over the place), since if you don't need the ability to go fast on the fan RPM or if you're a bit more noise sensitive and you know you have enough cooling headroom to warrant using a slower fan, the P14 is still more than enough for AIOs/radiators and has fan header daisy-chaining.

These fans have been a great addition to my new PC build. They’re quiet during normal use and only get loud if you push them to full speed. They move air well and help keep everything running cool.The simple, no-RGB look is a huge plus. They’re clean and get the job done without drawing attention. Honestly, they come pretty close to Noctua fans in terms of quality, but at a much better price.If you want solid airflow without overpaying, these are a strong choice.

The ARCTIC P14 Max fans really move air! I’m using them to replace three 120mm ARCTIC P12 fans in my Rosewill 4U server chassis, and they’re pushing noticeably more air while keeping noise levels about the same—at the speeds I typically run them. Since my fans aren’t running at max RPM, they stay relatively quiet. Obviously, at full speed, these will be louder than my old 120mm fans or even the standard P14 model.The build quality is solid for the price, and the included rubber corner pads should help reduce vibration. If you need high airflow and don’t mind adjusting fan curves to balance noise, these are a great upgrade!

I'm using this to replace the front fan of my jonsbo n1 case. The disk temps went down almost 8 degrees celsius and it is really silent.

Hands Down, the Arctic P14 Max 5 Pack is the TOP Price/Performance 140mm High Air Flow Quiet Fan in the US Market! $8.60/Fan compared to the Noctua or be quiet fans which are around $30 each. I have used Arctic P12 PWM & P12 PWM PST Fans for the past 10 years with zero failures to date (3 PC & 2 NAS). My new PC Build is a Antec Flux with 3 P14 Max Fans for Intake, 1 for GPU Cooling & another P14 Max for Rear Exhaust. I moved the 3 Antec stock120mm Fans to the Roof as Exhaust. My IceGiant Prosiphon Elite will be retrofitted with P12 Max Fans when I move from AM4 to AM5.

Bought this to replace my Noctua 140mm fan since it was barely moving air, and this one is definitely powerful. My CPU is about 10⁰C cooler once I swapped all my fans out for Arctic ones. It's definitely audible at full blast but not so loud as to be overhead over game audio. This thing cut a bit of my finger's skin off when it was running so it's definitely got power (lmao). Note it's quite bulky compared to even other 140mm fans so if yours is already a tight fit this might not fit at all.

Yep these are great. Worth the cost for cooling, and larger fans can move more air at lower RPM which can keep noise down (for those who value quiet fans)

These are overall good fans for the price. They move a ton of air into your case. I'd honestly give them 5 stars if they weren't so loud at max speeds. Other than that, they're great fans, and I would still recommend them as they're a great bang for your buck.
