Product Information

Full details

The Fractal Design Aspect 14 is a 140mm computer case fan designed for PC builders seeking a balance of aesthetic appeal and effective cooling. Its key benefit lies in its aerodynamic design for reduced turbulence and noise, alongside convenient cable management features. A potential caveat for some users might be its 1000 RPM maximum speed, which prioritizes quiet operation over extreme airflow.

FAQs

What is the maximum fan speed of the Fractal Design Aspect 14?

The maximum rotational speed is 1000 RPM.

Does this fan come with RGB lighting?

Yes, the Aspect 14 RGB model features 6 individually addressable hub-mounted RGB LEDs.

How does the chaining feature work?

The chaining feature allows you to connect multiple Aspect fans together using their integrated power and RGB connectors, simplifying cable management by reducing the number of cables running to the motherboard.

What type of bearings does this fan use?

It uses rifle bearings, known for their efficiency and longer lifespan compared to standard sleeve bearings.

What is the maximum airflow and noise level?

The maximum airflow is 41 CFM (69.7 m³/h) and the noise level at high speed is 19.5 dB.

What is the size of the fan?

The fan is 140 mm in diameter and has dimensions of 140 x 140 x 25 mm.

Can I control the RGB lighting without a compatible motherboard header?

While the fan is designed to sync with motherboard software, you would typically need a compatible RGB header or a dedicated RGB controller to manage the lighting if your motherboard does not support it.

What is the MTBF (Mean Time Between Failures) for this fan?

The fan has a Mean Time Between Failures of 90,000 hours.

Troubleshooting

Fan not spinning

Ensure the 3-pin fan connector is securely plugged into the motherboard fan header. Check that the fan is receiving 12V power and that the starting voltage (7V) is met by the motherboard or fan controller. Verify that the fan is not obstructed.

RGB lights not working or incorrect colors

Confirm that the RGB cable is correctly connected to a compatible RGB header on the motherboard. Ensure you have installed the correct software for your motherboard's RGB ecosystem (e.g., ASUS Aura Sync, MSI Mystic Light) and that it is configured properly. If chaining fans, ensure all connections are secure.

Excessive noise or vibration

Check that the fan is securely mounted to the case with the provided screws. Ensure no cables are brushing against the fan blades. If the noise persists, try reducing the fan speed via your motherboard's BIOS or software settings.

Poor airflow performance

Ensure the fan is oriented correctly for intake or exhaust. Check for any obstructions in front of or behind the fan. Clean any dust buildup on the fan blades and frame.
