> 3 dayWhether your building a gaming PC for yourself or just putting something together for your parents general computing needs, I would not trust any other fan. I have had these fans in computers for over a decade, no failures ever, always quiet, and always plenty or airflow! You can not get a better fan anywhere.

> 3 dayNoctua is great I guess because everyone says so. Im running UNRAID and although I need to upgrade to something better, Im trying to keep this one going a little longer. Dropped $50 on two of these slim ones to fit between the plastic front panel of my Dell T30 and the case metal, and it fit! So points for being nice and slim. I plugged them direct to power (through a sata adapter/splitter) and holy crap they are super unbearably loud! Others have said the same thing....I should have listened. I probably should have realized that I needed a fan speed controller, but I didnt and now just a bit salty that Im sending another $25 to Noctua for their PWM controller. Im $75 into this, which is about $30 more than I had hoped to spend on extra cooling. On the plus side, my 4 10TB drives (2 in each upper and lower drive bays) are running cool as a cucumber around 35C after 9 hours into a preclear, so thats a big improvement from the 45-50C+ temperature warnings I kept getting. Hopefully when I slow down those fans to a reasonable noise level Il still have reasonably good temperatures...well see! If Im not happy Ill edit this post.

> 3 dayExcellent slim 90mm fan. Only annoying thing is the short cable, you have to use the included extender.

> 3 dayNeeded a replacement fan for my low profile L9A after noticing the original fan was damage due to my handling of it (sound of slight grinding). This was a perfect replacement fan and ran quiet that I remember.

> 3 dayDrove 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.

> 3 dayVery unusually the standard brown noctua fan that came with the heatsink for my new i5 seemed to die. I ordered this and received it the next day as per my shipping choice and was able to easily install it. It also comes with a fan cable that is much longer than the original which turned out to be nice.

> 3 dayThis was a direct swap out for the fan from my noctua NH-Li9 heatsink. I couldnt come to appreciate the signature brown fan. So it had to be replaced when the black came in stock.
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.
