The NF-A14x25r G2 achieves top performance in the normalized noise tests, which matter the most, and even in max numbers, it puts to shame fans spinning at much higher speeds and outputting way higher noise. The features and design details are numerous, and at some point, I thought I was reading about an aviation part and not an IT one! Noctua’s engineers did a hell of a job in the G2 fan. Although I know that many of you will complain about its high price, and some will also complain about the lack of RGB lighting, I believe that its price tag isn’t extreme given the development cost and its build quality. Yes, it is expensive, but you get top performance and top quality, and it will probably live forever if you don’t have it operating under extreme conditions. You cannot expect top support, quality, and performance at a budget price.
