> 3 dayso 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!

Greater than one weekI got these to use in my NCASE M1. I have the Noctua NH-U9S air cooler and was going to put this fan on the back part of the case to serve as a rear intake to feed in fresh air to the cooler. I was excited to use these since I wanted to have a black fan and I heard these were silent... Theyre not silent at all.

> 3 dayThis fan saved me from destroying my ASUS pre-built system. The 92mm exhaust fan was loud, this fan makes my wife happy when we both work from home. Virtually silent, even during normal/high load.

Greater than one weekThis 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.

> 3 dayReplaced 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.
Having received dozens of awards and recommendations from international hardware websites and magazines, the NF-A9x14 has established itself as a default choice when it comes to premium-quality slim 92mm fans. The chromax.black.swap edition combines the NF-A9x14’s signature quiet cooling performance with an attractive all-black design and a bundle of self-adhesive red, white, blue, green, yellow and black anti-vibration pads that allow the colour-customisation of the fan to match individual build colour schemes. Topped off with Noctua’s trusted premium-grade SSO2 bearing and more than 150,000 hours MTTF, the NF-9x14 PWM chromax.black.swap is the perfect choice for all users who value individual, focused build aesthetics just as much as class-leading quality and performance.
14mm low profile design
Measuring only 14mm in thickness, the NF-A9x14 is much slimmer than standard 92x25mm fans. This makes it ideal for all applications where standard fans would take up too much space, such as low profile CPU coolers in HTPC builds or server environments.

Self-adhesive anti-vibration pads in 6 coloursThe NF-A9x14 PWM chromax.black.swap comes with 8 swappable, self-adhesive anti-vibration pads in black, white, red, blue, green and yellow respectively, which allow the fan to be fully colour-customised in order to coordinate it with other components or popular build schemes. |
SSO2 bearingThe NF-A9x14 features 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 fan’s 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. |
Optional coloured cablesNoctua’s chromax line fans use a modular cabling system and come pre-fitted with a fully sleeved black NA-EC1 30cm cable. For refined colour coordination, white, red, blue, green and yellow 30cm NA-EC1 cables plus corresponding NA-YC1 y-cables are available separately. |
Maximising colour choices, the NF-A9x14 chromax.black.swap fan can be colour-customised using the included self-adhesive anti-vibration pads as well as optional coloured cables. This makes it ideal for enthusiasts looking for a true premium-grade fan that can be colour-coordinated with popular build themes such as all black, black & white or black & red.
