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

Its does the job excellently

I have 3 of these in my case right now. They move a TON of air, and are super quiet. One of the best performance-per-dollar fans you can get!

This was a gift

NF-A14 is good fan, but there are many fans that overperform NF-A14 in every environments.

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

This is a great fan, but... Honestly Im happier with the NF-P14s-1500s I got, which are also noctua, ostensibly lower end, and cheaper, but they seem quieter to me and move more air at the same RPM. You miss out on the vibration pads, sure, but... Its not like they included enough of those to get both sides matching colors, anyways. I suppose if efficiency is your goal, this draws about a watt less of power than the others for very similar noise, airflow, and RPM, but all of them operate on less than three watts, so its hardly the first place to optimize.

Installed as an exhaust fan in my PC case. Works great. Not much else to say.

Noctua excels in silent performance fans. Theyve knocked it out of the park with their chromax series. The simple color change from the traditional noctua browns is a welcome addition as are the different color rubber vibration dampeners.

I bought these based on Noctuas stellar reputation without expecting much more than a quiet replacement for my case fans. I was pleasantly surprised when they turned out to be better than I had expected. I use these connected to the PWM fan headers on my motherboard and they are so quiet, way more so than the Phanteks case fans they replaced. To be fair to the case fans that were replaced they were close to 5yrs steady use and were showing the abuse of constant use. I like the vibration dampeners on the Noctua fans, being able to swap those out to match your color theme is nice, and I intentionally choose NON-RGB fans for my case fans as my setup has plenty of RGB already. These fans move a ton of air and do it quietly, they hardly ever ramp up because my case has good airflow and they provide plenty of air. I was rather surprised that my GPU temps dropped with the addition of these fans, that is just how much better the air is moving in my case. While I am using these as case fans they would make EXCELLENT radiator fans if your looking for replacement fans for a 140mm or 280mm radiator. They are definitely worth the premium in price, build quality is superb, you can feel it when you hold them in your hand.

I got the fan, installed it sideways on accident and it works like a charm.
