Noctua NF-A14 PWM chromax.black.swap, High-Performance Quiet Fan 140mm

I have wanted to try Noctua fans for a while now but i love having my rgb so i use corsair however they can be noisy when they ramp up so when i done my watercooling loop i decided instead of two rgb fans on top i would add two of these and i'm really happy i did! The only gripe i have is the length of the cables made it a bit of a chore to run it down the back of my case then back in to fit the pwm headers on my motherboard but they just made it...barely. General performance has been great they make barely any noise even when they ramp up i just set a fan curve in the bios and let them do their thing and the amount of hot air they pull out of my system is great. I would highly recommend these and i would switch fully to Noctua if they released rgb fans but i know that's not something they're likely to do. I wouldn't say these are expensive compared to some others i had considered and for the performance and silence i would say they're more than worth it plus the all black looks great on a radiator or black case.

Bought a Fractal Design Torrent Case but the 3 x 140mm fans included were noisy and ticked at low RPM. Replaced them with 3 x Noctua NF-A14 PWM chromax.black.swap and now I can run the case at low fan RPM without any ticking noise. The cables included with the fans whilst fairly short are long enough to reach the Torrent fan controller. I also installed the included rubber anti-vibration pads on the fan corners which may also help to reduce noise. Overall really happy, I've been buying Noctua kit for many years now and never had a problem so far. It's expensive but worth it.

I have these or their brethren installed on my cooler, and case exhaust and input fans. I use the PWM connectors on the main board and ASUS tool from the motherboard to set the speeds. Essentially, with the side off, I ran the system to get to the point where I could not here the PC. The Hard drive became the noisy component (now replaced). You need to adjust the settings for the most quiet, but totally worth it. I went the white corners to complement the whit PC case - and overall delighted with the result :-) Can recommend the Noctua PWM fans!

This is the second fan I have bought because I was very impressed with the first one. I use them as intake fans for my Meshify C case. When playing gaming I turn them up and the airflow they provide is great, is it engineered very well. Note that the noise levels can get loud when operating at high speeds, but at normal levels it is very quiet. The high noise doesn't bother me because I usually am wearing headphones when I turn the speed to the max. I am not a big fan of their other colour fans, but these looks much better. Overall I would highly recommend this.

First off, I would consider myself a long time fan of Noctua products. Have used them for 12+ years and never had an issue with a cooler or fan - not once. To add, the after sales service and RMA that Noctua provide is fantastic.. I decided to try out some of the new Noctua Chromax fans for the hell of it. Bought four of them and added them to my Phanteks Enthoo Luxe case - 2 in the front, 1 exhaust and 1 on top.. As usual, the fans are the high quality you would expect from Noctua fans. These Noctua NF-A14 PWM chromax are exactly the same as the Noctua NF-A14 PWM fans - exchanging the Beige/Brown for all Black. Quality fans. The Good - - Quieter than the stock fans. - Have reduced temps (2c using P95 Blend and IBT). - Fantastic build quality (as expected). - 6 Year Warranty - Interchangeable Corner Anti-Vibration pads - slew of different colours The Bad - - Price - compared to the original NF-A14 - paid €3.50 more per fan. - Accessories gone - these new chromax fans don't include the Low-Noise Adaptor (L.N.A.), 4-Pin Y-Cable, 30cm Extension Cable and 4 Vibration-Compensators - that we always got with the original versions. - New cable system - the wire that comes out from the fan is only 1-2cms long and then goes into a connector. You get a 30cm Cable with the fan that connects directly into the connector. However, I have 2 issues with this - a. the connection point so close to the actual fan is cumbersome and gets in the way and b. you have lost 30cms in length in comparison to the original NF-A14 that came with a spare 30 cms extension cable. - Missing Vibration corner pads - you only get "4 Anti-Vibration Corner Pads" of each colour provided. That means that if you select say RED - you can only have it on one side of the fan. This is unacceptable imo. It meant I had to buy a pack of "Noctua NA-SAVP1 chromax.red ANTI-VIBRATION PADS" at a price of €11.80 from Noctuas ebay site. They were sold out everywhere else. The pack comes with 16 of the pads meaning I could have each corner of the fan with pads now all red. When you consider that all the previous Brown fans came with 8 (each corner) on each fan, this is totally unacceptable. Note, I didn't have to purchase NA-SEC1 4-pin ext cables as had a few boxes from previous builds but needed to use two of them to extend the cables on the front fans. Therefore I would recommend you measure the distance between the fan location and the Fan Header on the motherboard. If using a HUB at the back of the Case, you should be fine. In conclusion - I think the awe and worship I had for Noctua is fading. The fans are still the best fans on the market in my opinion but this scrimping on accessories and leaving you short on corner vibration pads has left a bad taste for me. Also, I really don't like the new cable connection system at all. Its not as clean when placing the fans and cables.

Prob the best and premium fans on the market. On the pricy side but hey, if you can't afford do not buy. The build quality of these fans is insane and the noise level very low. Happy with them and would highly recommend them and any other products from Noctua!

Used two to replace old Corsair fans on a water cooler. They are exactly as described, quiet and powerful. I've been overclocking my system so they have had a good workout for the last couple of days and have performed superbly. They are a little pricey - my only criticism and only reason I dropped one star... but, they're good there's no denying it.

Installed this today to replace a stock fan at the back. Putting the anti-vibration rubber corners was easy, so was installing the fan itself. Oh my this fan is so quiet on idle mode, even full speed its still a lot quieter then my stock fan. I can hardly here anything and keep checking to see if its still running. Very pleased and would buy Noctua again. Edit: I brought another 3 of these to go in the front on my new Phanteks p600s Eclipse case, couldn't be happier.

Arrived without seal No packging, no tape, just pre opened noctua box, fan blade were touched by oily fingers, fingerprint How can one send for delivery such item which is costly and fragile. Amazon you are loosing faith in customers. Any one on the way can exchange the fan with a refurbished or non working fan I am not happy with packaging, and genuineness of the product.

Vraiment top. Je les ai pris car j'en avais marre d'attendre la version G2. Alors je ne peux pas comparer avec la nouvelle version mais dans mon cas; ces 7 ventilos font leur boulot et en silence Avec le coupon je suis a 27€ par ventilateurs, et les g2 seront surement à 40 quand ils sortiront (quand il en faut 7 ça fait une bonne différence de prix) Je les ai mis dans une ANTEC FLUX (version normale) et ça tient mon i9 9900K a 88 degrés sout OCCT en CPU Stress Test ce qui est une bonne perf vu que ce CPU a tendance à chauffer "un tout petit peu" :)

流石と言えるレベル。静音で振動も感じられなかった。価格が安ければPCファンを全部これにしたいです。

J'utilise ce ventilateur en extraction arrière sur mon boîtier moyen tour depuis maintenant plus de six mois, dans une configuration orientée vers le silence et la stabilité thermique. En tant qu'utilisateur expérimenté de PC silencieux, je recherchais un modèle capable de déplacer un bon flux d'air sans générer de bruit perceptible, même en fonctionnement prolongé. Le NF-A14 PWM a été installé à l'arrière du boîtier, en aspiration directe sur les composants chauds comme le VRM et le SSD M.2, avec un réglage de vitesse via la carte mère en mode PWM. Performance en action : Après plusieurs mois d'utilisation quotidienne, incluant des sessions de bureautique intensive, du rendu vidéo occasionnel et des jeux modérément exigeants, le ventilateur maintient une température interne du boîtier nettement inférieure à celle observée avec le modèle d'origine. Même à plein régime (1500 tr/min), le bruit reste très faible, presque masqué par le souffle discret du refroidissement du processeur. À vitesse réduite (800-1000 tr/min), il devient pratiquement inaudible dans un environnement silencieux, ce qui est essentiel pour mon usage en bureau ou en streaming. Le flux d'air est dirigé et efficace, sans turbulences apparentes, et la pression statique suffisante pour pousser l'air à travers les filtres à poussière du boîtier sans perte significative. Analyse équilibrée : - Qualité de fabrication exemplaire : cadre rigide en PBT renforcé fibre de verre, pales bien équilibrées, zéro vibration perceptible même après des mois d'utilisation. - Silences impressionnant : conforme aux spécifications, le niveau sonore est réellement faible, surtout compte tenu du débit d'air généré. - Kit de silentblocs inclus : les six couleurs fournies permettent une personnalisation discrète ou ludique selon l'intérieur du boîtier, un petit plus appréciable pour les amateurs de montage soigné. - Courbe PWM précise : la réponse au signal de la carte mère est linéaire et prévisible, permettant un contrôle fin sans à-coups. - Consommation énergétique négligeable : moins de 1,2 W en charge maximale, impact nul sur l'alimentation. - Prix élevé : le coût est sensiblement supérieur à celui des ventilateurs standards, ce qui peut constituer un frein pour des configurations multiples ou budgets serrés. - Flux d'air orienté : bien que performant, le design favorise une pression statique élevée plutôt qu'un débit volumique maximal, ce qui le rend moins idéal en extraction frontale sans goulotte d'optimisation. Verdict : Ce ventilateur tient parfaitement ses promesses de silence, de qualité et d'efficacité thermique. Il s'agit d'un choix judicieux pour qui souhaite améliorer le refroidissement et l'acoustique de son PC sans compromis sur la durabilité. Malgré son prix élevé, il représente un investissement pertinent pour une utilisation à long terme, particulièrement dans les configurations où le silence et la fiabilité sont prioritaires. Je le recommande sans réserve aux utilisateurs exigeants, tout en conseillant de bien évaluer le besoin réel en pression statique versus débit d'air selon l'emplacement prévu dans le boîtier.

Ventole silenziose e super prestanti, utilizzo una di queste ventole come exhaust e devo dire che fa un'incredibile lavoro a espellere tantissima aria restando impercettibile. Ventola consigliatissima per chi vuole il top di prestazioni, rumorosità e eleganza. 5/10€ in meno non farebbero male, ma d'altronde non stiamo pagando solo un prodotto ma uno studio durato anni per rendere le ventole Noctua quello che sono.
