02-06-2025I bought two fans to replace the corsair fans that came with my h115i cooler, but one of the wires came ripped out of the 4 pin connector.

Greater than one weekI have tens of Noctuas across cases and coolers… this model is definitely on the loud end of the scale. At offblast its very noticeable across the room.

> 3 dayThey can get loud at full speed, but you dont need to run them that hard, they move tons of air at lower RPMs. Thats these fans real strengths.

> 3 dayWe all know Noctua sort of has their signature brown fans. We also all know that these days, gaming PCs have become something of an aesthetic show of their own. Yet I have not ever met a single person who said, I want more brown parts in my PC. Its 2022 and now Noctua makes a budget friendly fan, but its grey. They have a black fan with brown pads, but its the premium expensive model. Then theres this black chromax fan (yay), but you have to pay extra for all these extra colored vibration pads when black would be just fine. How are you even going to see the colored vibration pads if they are between the fan and the mounting surface?

Just Honest
> 3 dayI think these are overpriced and poor performing. Ive used quieter fans with better cooling capabilities for half the price. They are quality made fans, just not worth the money.

Greater than one weekGreat product and easy installation. The only gripe I have is, there is this annoying hum at around 900 - 1100 RPM; I had to set my fan curve above that.

> 3 dayI was on the fence about buying these and I am glad I ended up getting them. Super quiet and move a ton of air. I am sticking with this brand for all my future builds!

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.
