Noctua NF-A14 PWM chromax.Black.swap, Premium Quiet Fan, 4-Pin (140mm, Black)

Case: Phantek Evolv X

Replaced exhaust stock fan on my Cooler Master H500M. Quieter, with PWM control, and added some bling with the colored corners to match my cables.

$30+/ea for this fan is outrageous. Noctua isnt the company it used to be. This was my last Noctua purchase.

Expensive, but very high quality. Ive had a few Noctua fans before and they all have worked for many years without going bad

This fan looks great, and functions well. I wanted a very quiet fan as it is actually mounted to an external radiator, so it does not have any noise dampening from the case. Despite this, it is actually quieter than the LL125s in my case! The only downside is that I dont feel that the value proposition is great, but that is understandable. These are the highest performance fans on the market and they operate with little noise, so ultimately you pay a premium for that. I highly recommend this product.

This fan is quite, easy to install, excellent packaging, the wires are terminated excellent, has mesh jackets and heated shrink tubing. Noctua pay attention to the details.

I have tens of Noctuas across cases and coolers… this model is definitely on the loud end of the scale. At offblast its very noticeable across the room.

Bought this for s340 elite case on the top to pull out. I had Corsair AR 140mm up there going at 1150rpm but upgraded to this and have it set at about 1250 RPM. 1500rpm was a bit too loud but still not bad. Wish it had 8 of each color but thats not really a big deal, you mostly only see the 4 anyways.

I didnt know a computer fan could be so quiet.
