> 3 dayI 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.

> 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.

> 3 dayUsed in a SFF build and they work phenomenal. Good for the price. Also really like the idea that you can change the colors.

> 3 dayI used this to replace my Scythe fan on the Shuriken 2. I heard some people say that it would perform worse as it has two less blades, but I am getting lower noise and a 2-3 degree temperature reduction on the Ryzen 5 5600X. High quality fan from Noctua as usual.

06-06-2025As 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.

> 3 dayGood fan. I have no complaints about the fan itself. I was really irked about the big model number stamp on the fan but it came off with some alcohol and A LOT of rubbing.
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.
