Greater than one weekEasy install, works well. MSI board controls it well. A little loud at max rpm but as a top vent fan I rarely hit that. Almost silent in the 50% or lower range.

> 3 dayThe fans are super quite even at 50% speed, I dont even notice them spinning. Great product!

> 3 dayPretty much the same as a normal A14 performance wise. Comes with a 4 pin extender which makes the overall length of the cord the same as a usual fan. I suppose the actual connector from the fan is that short so you can use their chromax extenders to change the color of your cords but it just causes a big fan connector to get in the way of screwing in your fan. I had to mount these a little different because the fan connector was preventing me from running a screw through it.

Greater than one weekWhat can I say. They are expansive but when it comes to noise level per performance they are just un beatable. Got six of the pressure ones on my aio in a push to pull config and i got this 140mm as the exhaust. Works flawlessly,

> 3 dayI have 4 of these in my full tower and they are completely silent! They dont have all the fancy RGB but you just cant beat them for level of noise and air moved. They move a ton of air, and even at full speed you can just barely hear them. The fans are built really well, the cabling is all high quality and with a 4 pin PMW connection you can set up custom fan curves for them. They are literally set up and forget about fans. There is a reason Noctua is a leader in the case fan industry. If you want quality, you buy Noctua!

> 3 dayNoctua makes exceptional fans! I got 2 with my fan cooler on my 1920x build, but the color was...doo do brown hahahaha. Kinda kills the look of my mostly black and blue scheme. Tried some CoolerMasters, Phanteks, and a couple others that all made more noise at lower speeds. Replaced most of the fans in my case with Noctua and now have to double check to make sure its off!

> 3 dayI was absolutely shocked at how quiet this fan was. The stock fan that comes with the NZXT H1 V2 really sucks--its loud and hot. In typical Noctua fashion, however, this replacement fan lowered my CPU temps by around 5-6 degrees and is at least half the volume. Its wild. The build quality is amazing, and the customizable rubber corners for the fan are super easy to install.

> 3 dayOrdered 3 of these fans to replace my noisy fans. 1 fan was missing 1 white anti-vibration pad. I reached out to Noctua support and within a week they had sent me a new set of them. The fans are extremely quiet. Im able to ramp the speed up more than the old ones. That, in turn, has lowered my temps a few degrees.

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.
