> 3 dayAfter installing these fans, ran them at full speed with the case covers off. I could barely hear them at less than 2ft away. Highly recommend them!

> 3 dayDefault bios configuration is very powerful with excessive dB, but still delivers great performance when set to a slower config.

> 3 dayI bought these to replace the super-loud fans on my NZXT Kraken X62 water cooler, and they are soooooo quiet. Love these fans!

> 3 dayIve been a Noctua user for years, first installing one of their CPU coolers on an i7-950 back in the day. Their products are great and most importantly... quiet. I purchased three of these fans to replace the case fans in my Fractal Design R5, one of which was failing with a clicking noise.

> 3 dayI replaced the fans in my EVGA CLC 280 AIO because they werent the quietest and these made it whisper quit. I had to verify they are running.

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.
