> 24 hourHonestly, Noctua did an amazing job with these fans. I HATE their beige and tan colors and I was so happy to see a black chromax fan. I am using these as the front intake fans for my NZXT H510 ATX Midtower (2 fans). I have absolutely zero complaints and these fans are very quiet.

> 24 hourGreat performance and noise. Only downside is fan cables come out on the wrong side. I have no clue what they were thinking here. Only reason for me to deduct a star. Perfect in every other way.

> 24 hourEasy install, works well. MSI board controls it well. A little loud at max rpm but as a top vent fan I rarely hit that. Almost silent in the 50% or lower range.

> 24 hourThe fans are super quite even at 50% speed, I dont even notice them spinning. Great product!

> 24 hourThis fan performs extremely well, but the price point at the time of this writing definitely indicates you get what you pay for, and its a premium fan. The big flaw is the screws dont have teeth necessary to bite into the fan and screw it to the inside of the case, and the fan isnt threaded, which meant I had to use a DRILL on a computer case fan! Thats NEVER happened in over two decades. Fortunately, screwing them in is something thats hypothetically done once.

> 24 hourI compared these to Bequiets silent wings 3 in a search for silence. The bequiets are quieter, and their tone is nicer.

> 24 hourKeep it under 500 RPM and youll never know its there. However, they are audible above about 600 RPM. Considering their size, however, a couple of them running at 400-500 RPM is all you need to move enough air to keep even large cases cool.

> 24 hourDefault bios configuration is very powerful with excessive dB, but still delivers great performance when set to a slower config.

Swappable anti-vibration pads in 6 coloursThe NF-A14 PWM chromax.black.swap comes with 4 black, white, red, blue, green and yellow NA-AVP1 anti-vibration pads respectively. By combining the various colours with black or leaving off the pads on one side, the fan can be coordinated with most popular build colour schemes out of the box. Additional NA-SAVP1 sets for outfitting both sides in one colour can be purchased separately. |
SSO2 bearingThe chromax line fans feature 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 NF-A14 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. |
Square 140mm frameThe NF-A14"s square 140mm frame with 140mm mounting holes (124.5mm spacing) makes it a premium grade replacement for common 140mm case fans and perfect for use on 140mm water cooling radiators, where its square shape will ensure full coverage and best pressure performance. |
Maximising colour choices, Noctua’s chromax.black.swap edition fans can be colour-customised using the included swappable anti-vibration pads as well as optional anti-vibration mounts and cables. This makes them ideal for enthusiasts looking for true premium-grade fans that can be colour-coordinated with popular build themes such as all black, black & white or black & red.
