TOUGHFAN 14 Pro High Static Pressure PC Cooling Fan Review

Performance

These fans are here to move air and chew bubblegum, and they’re all out of bubblegum. They move significantly more air than anything else I’ve tested. That being said, of the three 140mm fans I’ve tested before, two were Noctua and be quiet!, both focused on lower RPM and lower noise performance, while the CT140 ARGB are case fans full of ARGB lighting. These are the most powerful, most advanced 140mm fans I’ve tested to date, and it shows.

They move more than double the airflow of the be quiet! LW 140, and they’re quieter at 2000 RPM than Noctua were at 1500 RPM… WHAT!? Honestly, you can hear them, but their sound profile is so clean that even at 45 dBa they sound weirdly quieter than they are too. I turned them down to their lowest 600 RPM and they were frankly inaudible.
