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

I ordered three fans.

Ive been using noctua fans for a while because they are very quiet and push good CFM numbers to keep my components cool. I just put two of these chomax NF-a14 fans on the kraken x63 and its very quiet now, especially compared to the air cooler I was using before. Highly recommend these if you care about keeping your computer quiet and cool.

As you can see from the pictures I am using these fans (several of them in different sizes) on a custom all - air cooled build. (Asus Hero MB, Intel 12800K and Nvidia 3090 and this Corsair 1000d case is dead silent and runs only a few degrees over ambient in the few hours a day it is used for gaming.

This review is for the Noctua NF-A14 PWM chromax.black.swap.

Color is black which is good.

Best fans. Super quiet. They looks nice. I actually had to kneel down and look inside my pc to tell if they were actually running because they are so quiet. I will be purchasing more to replace some other noisy fans I have.

This is a great fan. The performance and noise levels are exactly what you would expect from a Noctua fan. However, it kind of feels like Noctuas adopted child because it doesnt come with the same accessories as the classic beige-brown Noctua fan. They made the cable that is attached to this fan longer, so there is maybe no need for the extension, but it also doesnt come with the y-adaptor, low noise adapter or silicone mounts. What it comes with, are colored anti-vibration mounts, but only 4 of each color. So you would have to put different colors on each side. Granted, you dont *have to* have them on the other side, so it might be fine for you.

Bought to replace my stock aio fans, and replacement was the easiest I have ever done, especially with the shock mounts.

Es un ventilador muy bueno. Excelente calidad del material, No es ruidoso y mantiene buenas temperaturas en el ordenador.

After being VERY impressed by the 120mm Noctua NF-S12A fans I immediately purchased the 140mm NF-A14 fans to replace the stock fans that came with my radiator. Unfortunately, this second set did not live up to the first. At low RPM the motor on one of them makes a noise like a washing machine on spin cycle and both of them sound like vacuum cleaners at 50%. On top of the fan noise they also produce this loud undulating hum that is incredibly obnoxious. Im very surprised to have had this experience after the S12As were so incredible. Not all Noctua fans are created equal apparently.
