The image below shows the NF-A14 ULN in its case with the provided adapters and hardware.
Just like I discovered with the 120mm fans, after I tested the NF-A14 FLX with the ULNA as an intake fan, I realized that the NF-A14 ULN would be a much better choice for an intake fan, while leaving the NF-A14 FLX available to use elsewhere, like on a big old heatpipe tower CPU cooler. This system is currently using a
Noctua NH-L9i CPU cooler, which works great, but there is really no need for a low profile cooler in a case with this kind of open volume.
