I e-mailed Noctua and this is the response I got: Thank you very much for contacting us. The only difference between the round framed fans and the square framed version is the mounting, when case airflow is concerned. As long as your case has 120mm as well as 140mm case fan slots there will be...

I'm using the Fractal Design Torrent case...so these new fans use the 120mm holes in the case and not 140mm? I think it's probably safer to just get the NF-A14 fans...those are still excellent overall 140mm fans and it's also cheaper

the NF-A14 is what I normally use for my 140mm case fans but I hear good things about this new fan...you're right as far as why would Noctua release a square one next month if they both were the same in terms of functionality anyone have any confirmation on whether these round versions can be...

can the new NF-A14x25r G2 fans (round version) currently available be used as case fans or is that only meant to be used on CPU coolers like the NH-D15?...do I need to wait for the square version coming in September?

yes the MSI one is not Mini-LED, it's just standard ISP...that's exactly what I was thinking in terms of price/value...no current display on the market really checks all the boxes for me...especially since I want to game but also use it as my primary Windows PC...the best OLED and QD-OLED...

I'm leaning towards a Mini-LED as I plan to use the display for 50% productivity/work/internet browsing as well as gaming and I've read too many reviews about subpixel layout issues with OLED, QD-OLED which makes it less than ideal as a Desktop display...the problem is that Mini-LED has its own...

I've had an HDR/Dolby Vision capable home theater display for years...but now I'm considering getting one as my PC monitor: 1) is it worth it or is Windows still not good with HDR? 2) do games implement HDR well? 3) do all HDR capable displays offer the ability to turn off HDR (either though...

in the Settings menu there is 'FidelityFX CAS' and 'FidelityFX variable shading'...I have an RTX 3080, is it better to enable those two FidelityFX settings?

yes sort of...what I wanted to do can't be done with an NVMe installed since it is permanently locked in to the system...I need to physically remove the drive in order to boot up another SSD drive independent of the NVMe

how is the HD Texture Pack (PC)?...when it was first released I heard it had issues for Nvidia owners (I have an RTX 3080, AMD 5800X and 32GB RAM)...are there any noticeable visual improvements with it enabled or should I not even bother installing it (I'm playing at 1440p G-Sync)?

I ended up moving the fan to the top rear spot...it makes the most sense, won't interfere with the natural airflow of the case plus it can add some additional cooling for the giant CPU cooler heatsink...

if I had to do it all over again I would buy the Meshify 2 XL which is full tower...I always prefer full tower cases but the Meshify 2 wasn't yet released when I bought my S2...any issues with 4 of my case fans being 140mm and the top alone being 120mm?...is it better to have them all matching?

my original plan when I first built the system was to install a case fan in the bottom of the case...but when putting the system together the logistics were tough...there are 2 bottom slots...putting it in the slot closer to the front case fans interfered with the 3rd front intake fan...moving...

overall I prefer to have positive air pressure (more intake than exhaust) versus negative or balanced air pressure which is why I want more intake...also I'm not using liquid cooling on my 3080 GPU...everything is air cooled which is why I wanted to add another case fan on top

I have the Fractal Meshify S2 case...I'm looking for advice on where to place the top case fan...I currently am using 3 Noctua front intake 140mm and 1 rear exhaust 140mm...the case has room on top for more fans and I bought a Noctua NF-A12x25 120mm (to use as a top exhaust) but I'm not sure of...
