P14 Max

Huge Improvement — These Fans Dropped My Temps Under Load I picked up the 5-pack of ARCTIC P14 Max fans to finally overhaul the airflow in my PC, and I’m genuinely impressed with how much of a difference they made. I’m running them through an open-source program called Fan Control, which lets me fine-tune each fan curve, and the P14 Max fans respond really smoothly to RPM changes. No weird ramping, no buzzing; just clean, controlled airflow. The cooling improvement was immediate. Prior to installing these, my CPU and GPU would flirt with the mid-80s to mid-90s Celsius during heavy gaming or rendering sessions. I work with a lot of different intensive software, from video rendering/editting to 3d modeling and rendering, and of course, dare I say.. Cyberpunk 2077. After swapping my old standard case fans with the P14 Max fans, my temps stay under 75C max under full load. For me, that’s a huge win. Noise-wise, they’re surprisingly quiet for the amount of air they push. At lower speeds, they’re practically silent. At higher speeds, you definitely hear air movement, but it’s more of a clean whoosh rather than an annoying hum or rattle. Very tolerable, especially considering the cooling performance. I will say though if you use headphone's or have an AC, etc. You will not be affected. Installation was straightforward, and the daisy-chain cables are a nice touch — makes cable management a little less chaotic in a crowded case. Build quality also feels solid, not flimsy like some budget fans. Overall, this 5-pack was absolutely worth it. If you fine tune your fan curves with something like Fan Control and want a ton of cooling power without turning your PC into a wind tunnel, these fans are fantastic. My system runs cooler, quieter, and doesn't turn my PC into a space heater. Highly recommend.

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.

They're good for the price. I installed two of them on a Corsair 280mm liquid cooler, they perform the same as the old Corsair fans but are quieter. I'm glad I went with these instead of the version that's capped at 1700rpm. These definitely need the extra RPM.

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.

Airflow is extremely good, even at low RPM. The fans are quite noisy at 75% or higher but they move so much air, having to reach such speeds should not be necessary.

Great fans! I always use Noctua fans in my builds but I was short on money and gave Arctic a try. Honestly no complains, I have had them installed for about 4 months with no issues and great temps. Buy whatever fan you want at the end of the day; believe me I simp over all the tiny facts and differences between the most minute details in pc parts. Regardless, these are just a solid choice for pc cooling.

These fans are no joke. They may be a tad loud. But they move some air and are less noisy than other fans that have less CFM. They also push air quite well through radiators. A must buy for water cooling.

Fan is easy to install, came with newer lightly knurled "screws" that seat into the rubberized holes. The fan itself is significantly quieter than my previous fans (why I bought it) and has an excellent static pressure rating. Been installed on my NAS for 3 months now with no issues.

Fans only reach 2500 rpm should be 2800 rpm , something very fishy here.

Works as intended. Nice and quiet. Will definitely by again!

The Arctic P14 Max fans are absolute champs. Whisper-quiet even under load, and they push a ton of air without sounding like a mini jet engine. Using them to cool my 7900XTX, and temps stay low and steady—even when I'm pushing frames like a maniac. These fans don’t just move air, they move vibes. Great performance, great price. Arctic really nailed it with these.

Hay más caros pero no mejores. Recomendados sin reservas.

Excelente opción y rendimiento para el precio que tiene. De los mejores que he probado
