> 3 dayI put 4 of these fans in my new build in order to achieve that nice PWM fan curve. When my system isnt under any load or I am just on chrome or discord, whisper quiet, dont even hear my computer. When they need to ramp up though they cool my system very well under load. The high price tag is worth it in my opinion since they come with that classic Noctua quality and a 6 year warranty!

> 3 dayFor a premium grade quiet fan, this thing is noisy as *heck*. Used my cases built in fan speed control mechanism, which has no issue controlling any other fans, but the moment I turned it on with this fan, the fan started roaring. The control board was definitely messing with its speed, because it would slow down and speed up frequently, but never getting even remotely quiet.

> 3 dayBest fans on the market. Reason I gave 4 stars is because had I known it was shipping from Austria I would have gotten the ml pros instead and gotten them same day in chicago.

> 3 dayGreat fans now in a great color. Ive always steered clear of Noctuas because of the color, but after using them maybe I should have just sucked it up awhile ago.

> 3 dayNoctua doesnt disappoint with this fan. Quiet, efficient, and keeps the temps down better than typical case fans. Unless you really want an RGB fan, this one will be perfect.

Greater than one weekI have 7 ‘be quiet!’ fans in my case, and really like them. When I got a 140mm ‘be quiet!’ fan for the back of the case, I purposely got a 3-pin (non-pwm) fan that would run at max speed all the time. After a day of that, I decided that it was just too loud, so I got this 4-pin (pwm) ‘Noctua NF-A14 PWM chromax’ fan instead. I am SO GLAD that I did. Even using the default fan curves on my mobo, this thing moves a ton of air and is basically inaudible. Even at full speed, I am impressed with how quiet it is given how loud my other fans are at full speed. It’s a very impressive fan at a very nice price (I paid $25), and I love that it includes the anti-vibration mounts. I can’t speak highly enough of this fan, I highly recommend it if you need to move a lot of air quietly.

> 3 dayNow, if your looking at these fans, you already know Noctua makes the best of the best. And you now also know they dont have to be ugly as sin. Get these fans is the bottom line. They may seem over priced, but for the quality, they cant be beat. I pulled off those old dusty corsairs, and screwed in these shiny new Noctuas and I havent looked back.

Topped off with Noctua’s trusted premium-grade SSO2 bearing and more than 150,000 hours MTTF, the NF-A14 PWM chromax.black.swap is the perfect choice for all users who value individual, focused build aesthetics just as much as class-leading quality and performance.

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.
