> 3 dayThe fan was very audible and nowhere near as quiet as the description, however that was not my issue with the fan, I honestly dont really mind the noise fans create. My main issue was this very low resonant hum at every rpm I tried, on certain rpms it was much more audible and at a faster pace. I purchased two and ran them one at a time because I though one may have been defective but they both had it. I will admit most people can probably ignore it but for me it was unbearable. All things said the fans were most definitely a quality build and brought in loads of air with effective cooling. Its unfortunate I had to return them, but I really just could not stand that humming sound.

> 3 dayRan two Chromax NF-A14 PWM fans as intake and one Chromax NF-S12A PWM for exhaust. Temperature drops across the board and pleasant acoustics achieved!

Greater than one weekWhat can I say? They perform great, look great, and are pretty much silent up to 1000rpm. You start hearing a slight motor hum at around 1200rpm but its tolerable, at least to me. I got these to replace my old redux 140s and its definitely worth the upgrade.

> 3 dayThis fan is super quiet even on high rpms. Great replacement for the 120mm fan I had on the top of my case, this thing really moves some air. Nothing fancy but the wide array of colors for the shock bumpers it nice if you have a theme going or whatever. Easy to install

> 3 dayCurrently installed as top intake to help keep my Fractal Design Define 7 Compact cool. The fans are quiet yet powerful, the black is infinitely sleeker than the brown-and-tan abominations of their regular fans, and install is simple.

> 3 dayI bought these 2 fans an are very nosier. The noise that produce are like the bees attack and is really annoying for me. I want to return these items because they are not what they expected from Noctua. Also have a low RPM and low CFM but a high noise. I prefered to return it.

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.
