> 24 hourThe fan is all fine and dandy once installed but the lack of cable slack made it a real pain to connect to my motherboard. Other than that it does as advertised.

> 24 hourThe fan moves air well and is very quiet. Even at full spin I cant hear it while sitting right next to the case. It was easy to install for the most part - the corner pads are a bit finicky to install but overall not bad. I like that it has different color pads for different design choices. I paid $24.90 in January 2022. A good fan at a good price.

> 24 hourThe AIO I got for my new build works great at keeping things cool. However, the fans made a really weird hum sound at higher speeds. I replaced them with these Noctua fans. I was VERY skeptical at first because they are not cheap, but the reviews just seemed so good. Well, they are that good. They are super quiet and super effective. Im a convert. Noctua fans from now on. They keep the CPU at a good temp and I never hear them.

> 24 hourI was on the fence about buying these and I am glad I ended up getting them. Super quiet and move a ton of air. I am sticking with this brand for all my future builds!

> 24 hourNo complaints, works perfectly. Its difficult to write a flowery review when the design specs are all right on the page, and the products reputation exceeds anything i can say in my review.

> 24 hourThese are honestly worth the premium price. I am anti-water cooling and this rivals my buddys computer for noise (nonexistent, that is)! It moves plenty of air while remaining blissfully silent.

> 24 hourFans are great but beware the cable length may be too short for larger cases making cable management impossible without extra cable accessories.

> 24 hourI thought these would be the exact same as the classic brown Noctua fans but alas I was wrong. The fan has a way too short 1 CM long cable and then a 30 CM extension cable. Why? The connector adds bulk thats hard to hide/manage and you wouldnt be able to connect the fan to ANYTHING without the extension table. It makes routing them through cable cutouts more difficult and the length isnt long enough on some cases. They were no where near long enough to reach the fan controller included in my Fractal Design Meshify 2.

Swappable anti-vibration pads in 6 coloursThe NF-A14 PWM chromax.black.swap comes with 4 black, white, red, blue, green and yellow NA-AVP1 anti-vibration pads respectively. By combining the various colours with black or leaving off the pads on one side, the fan can be coordinated with most popular build colour schemes out of the box. Additional NA-SAVP1 sets for outfitting both sides in one colour can be purchased separately. |
SSO2 bearingThe chromax line fans feature the further optimised second generation of Noctua’s renowned, time-tested SSO bearing. With SSO2, the rear magnet is placed closer to the axis to provide even better stabilisation, precision and durability. |
Flow Acceleration ChannelsThe NF-A14 impeller features suction side Flow Acceleration Channels. By speeding up the airflow at the crucial outer blade regions, this measure reduces suction side flow separation and thus leads to better efficiency and lower vortex noise. |
Square 140mm frameThe NF-A14"s square 140mm frame with 140mm mounting holes (124.5mm spacing) makes it a premium grade replacement for common 140mm case fans and perfect for use on 140mm water cooling radiators, where its square shape will ensure full coverage and best pressure performance. |
Maximising colour choices, Noctua’s chromax.black.swap edition fans can be colour-customised using the included swappable anti-vibration pads as well as optional anti-vibration mounts and cables. This makes them ideal for enthusiasts looking for true premium-grade fans that can be colour-coordinated with popular build themes such as all black, black & white or black & red.
