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

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.

This fan moves a lot of air. I replaced all the intake and the exhaust fans on my 7000D computer case because the fans it came with werent pushing much air in. These arctic move a ton of air would def recommend buying to replace all your intake and exhaust fans

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.

Quality bearings. Great value. My curves don't see these goes much above 1600rpm as a gaming rig... but I guess it's nice to know that I can hit the turbo button if I want to starting overclocking without the undervolt.

I feel that price informs value, so I try to include the price paid in every review. I encourage everyone to do the same as more information available when shopping always benefits the consumer. in this case I paid 42.99/5I have purchased MANY arctic fans for builds over the years. They are my go to for well priced, quality case fans. I have used p12, p14, p12 max, and p14 max and have never had a failure or any other reason to complain about any of them.The max series in both sizes is best described imo as identical to the p12/p14 up to the maximum rpm of those models. Then the max offers significantly more headroom. So if you need them quiet they can be. If you need them to move a ton of air, well beyond what regular p14, they can do that too.Yes, they make more noise at those top RPMs, but it's not a unpleasant pitch, even at full beans.These make amazing case fans, but if you want to pull more performance out of your AIO, these are magic. I certainly wish Arctic had used these fans on their Freezer III 420, but since they didn't you can get a pretty significant cooling boost by replacing the included p14s with the maxes and still come out cheaper than prolly any other 420mm AIO.Sometimes the price fluctuates oddly high, but just hold off and they will be back to the $8.50'ish per fan price and I don't believe anything else competes at that price.

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.

OK fan. It come with a foot cushion

Perfect upgrade from a hyte 120mm fan to 140mm, it is super quite after setting up the fan profile on the motherboard.
