Does Noctua really not make a 3000RPM Industrial 140mm Static Pressure Fan?

The entire post I'm referring to the 3000RPM Industrial PWM Noctua line.

They make the NF-A14 Air Flow Case Fan in both 120mm and 140mm...I own 3.

They also make the NF-F12 Static Pressure Fan in 120mm...I own one.

But I can't for the life of me find the NF-F12 in 140mm.

Do they not make them or if they do can someone please share a link, I REALLY hope they make them.

If they don't make them, how much worse are the 140mm NF-A14s than a *hypothetical* 140mm NF-F12?

The answer to your question isn't a yes or no. I think it is(a yes that is), in what I term a realistic usage environment. There are Delta Electronics fans that produce some seriously huge air flow, but they're so loud, they're really only suitable for a server room type environment. Plus they are 3 pin non-pwm fans that require a very beefy fan controller to really be usable(I've spent some time studying them in the past), and, if I recall correctly, they're all deep(38mm) 120mm fans, not 140mm.
When Firefox did an update a few times ago, I lost easy access to my cooling links, so where to find and purchase those big flowing Delta fans is something that will require a google search. There is a fan controller, that using splitters...

Let me help a little here. First off, the A14 is 140mm, the F12 is 120mm(the 12 and 14 are kind of important numbers here ;)), in each and every case. A14 3000 rmp ind. is available, as far as I know, although I haven't bought one or looked for one in a while. The F12 3000 rpm ind. is available, as far as I know, although, once again, I haven't bought one or looked for one, in a while.
I'm sort of confused by your post, cause Noctua doesn't go out of their way to announce the static pressure or the potential air volume numbers on their fans(I remember going to their website and finding the both the static pressure and the air volume numbers). The are great general fans and can be used for all computer cooling situations, radiators, test benches, even low noise oriented builds(provided you keep the rpms below 1500). I consider them the best computer fans in their respective sizes.

BTW, I'm looking back at a thread you posted previous, and I commented there. Nothing I posted there has changed.
I will say, I'm not sure of the availability of the fans right now, what with the mining craze and all that. They might not be available.

Yep. Looks like there isn't an NF-F14. Do you know of any other fans that are around 3000 RPM, made by a reputable brand and are Static Pressure Fans? Or is Noctua the only company that makes 3000RPM Fans?

well, does your case have room for 38mm depth fans? I run some very powerful silverstones that are pretty good, FHP-141s on my AIO, they're comparable, performance wise to the Noctua 3000s, but they're deeper. They're also easier to quiet, as they only run to about 2300rpms.

I'm not home at the moment so I can't check if I have that 38mm room. But, I do not care about noise *AT ALL*. I have my current 3 3000RPM running fans permanently running at 3000RPM 24/7. All I want is the best cooling possible, nothing less.

When Firefox did an update a few times ago, I lost easy access to my cooling links, so where to find and purchase those big flowing Delta fans is something that will require a google search. There is a fan controller, that using splitters would allow you control 10 of the fans, it's a very beefy controller(up to 300 watts https://smile.amazon.com/dp/B00K0VKEUK/_encoding=UTF8?coliid=I2TA1EU6RL0AYP&colid=2QBFW5FP10O0I&psc=0). That ought to tell you how many watts those deltas can use. They're truly industrial units and not meant for normal computer needs. In fact, I've read that the fan will hover, when fully powered and facing your desktop.
So, to sum up. The Noctua A14 3000rpms inds. are, imo, the best reasonable 140mm computer fan, for either case fan or radiator usage.

Say no more. The 3000rpm NF-A14s it is. Thanks for the thorough explanation.

Actually NF-A14 provides more than enough pressure and airflow that will cool any radiator on this planet. It is enough even for custom water cooling with car radiators.
