Noctua NF-A9x14 HS-PWM chromax.Black.swap, Premium Quiet Slim Fan, 4-Pin (92x14mm, Black)

As per the other reviews, I can also confirm at mid-high speeds, there’s a high pitched whine noise. I mean, these are much faster than my other Noctua radiator fans (which are whisper quiet), so my solution was to turn their RPMs down to <1200 to match.

I recently bought an HP Omen desktop that had a 92mm rear fan. I wanted a higher grade fan then stock to help with heat dispersion. I bought this one and found it is working great. I will plan to add another one in the future to the bottom of the case to help pull in some air. The fan is nice and quiet and I expect it will last for quite some time. I wanted an RGB or red led fan, but trying to find them in this size proved impossible.

I am using this fan along with a ULNA adapter that I had from another fan.

so far my 2500k is staying cool with this fan OCed from 3.7 to 4.33ghz.. I can run at 4.4ghz with a stronger louder setup.. but I think I found the sweet spot in power consumption and heat at 4.33ghz with this fan!

This is a noctua fan. Cant get better than noctua. I dont like two things that they continue to do in their chromax black line of fans. The chromax line is for better aesthetics, yet they continue to have some kind of code number printed in white on one side of the fan frame, which makes it look ugly. These fans immediately terminate onto a 4pin female connector instead of including a decent length cable that terminates onto a 4 pin male connector like almost all other fans in existence do and all other noctua fans do. This makes cable management more annoying, as with the included extensions youll end up having a much longer cable than their standard fans and youll also have to cable manager a bulky connector right next to the fan whereas with the brown fans, if you needed an extension, itd be far enough away that itd mostly be out of sight and easier to cable manager. Tragically, noctua does make versions of the chromax black fans that have this last issue resolved, but they only come with the chromax coolers. So, if you dont want the bulky female fan connector edition of these fans, youre only option is to buy a chromax cooler that has the fan you want and then resell the cooler without the fan or something and keep the fan for yourself.

Low noise, easy to install, cool temps. This is an all around great product and I couldnt be happier with it. Theres nothing I can criticize and the product is 100% worth the money!

These slim bad bois are ziptied straight on top my GPU and two of them do the job.

Replaced the factory fan on the power supply for my 3D printer. There was an immediate improvement in the sound levels. My modification to the printer also included replacing the factory cover on the power supply with one I printed allowing for significant increase in airflow. The power supply was moved from the printer cabinet so it was critical to reduce the overall noise the printer made.

Swapped the rear 92mm OEM Coolermaster fan out of a HP Omen 30L with this. These cases are basically miniature ovens, so I was forced to swap the stock cpu cooler with a top mounted AIO also. I wanted a rear fan that was quiet and didn’t move a ton of air so the rad fan could get most of whatever fresh air made it to the top.

Drove me nuts, I uninstalled it within an hour. I would rather let my CPU throttle than listen to this obnoxious fan. Its two times louder than the 6 other Noctua fans in my system combined. Contact me if you want a lightly used one of these for free, otherwise Im going to throw it in the trash.
