State-of-the-Art NF-A14x25 G2 Fans

Equipped with three premium NF-A14x25 G2 140mm PWM fans for outstanding cooling efficiency, low noise levels, and refined acoustics.

 

  • Three Pump Speed Profiles
    Choose between Quiet, Balanced, and Manual modes to fine-tune the balance between cooling performance and noise levels.

     

  • Three-Layer Soundproofing Structure
    The NL-PNA1 pump noise absorber utilizes a three-layer acoustic design to effectively reduce unwanted pump noise.

     

  • Tuned-Mass Damper Vibration Reduction
    Tuned-mass damper technology minimizes structure-borne vibrations for quieter and smoother operation.

     

  • Self-Bleeding Start-Up Mechanism
    Automatically removes trapped air during start-up to ensure stable operation and long-term reliability.

     

  • Automatic Liquid Temperature Monitoring and RPM Boost
    Continuously monitors coolant temperature and automatically increases pump speed when additional cooling performance is required.

     

  • 420mm Size for Ultimate Performance
    The combination of a 420mm radiator and 140mm fans delivers the highest cooling performance within the NL-LC1 series.

     

  • Slim Profile for Optimal Compatibility
    The compact design ensures excellent compatibility with memory modules and motherboard components.
