Noctua NF-A14 PWM chromax.Black.swap, Premium Quiet Fan, 4-Pin (140mm, Black)

I purchased 4 of these fans about 2 months ago and everything was fine. Easy enough to install, and they move alot of air. But after only 2 months 2 of the fans are making a whirring noise that I cant seem to fix. Ive tried everything. Im slightly disappointed but every other fan Ive owned by noctua hasnt done this to me so Im a bit conflicted.

Very nice fans great buy

I have 3 of these in my case right now. They move a TON of air, and are super quiet. One of the best performance-per-dollar fans you can get!

Best fans. Super quiet. They looks nice. I actually had to kneel down and look inside my pc to tell if they were actually running because they are so quiet. I will be purchasing more to replace some other noisy fans I have.

Quiet, moves a lot of air.

Using it for my exhaust out the back of my case, works great!

Purchased a “new” fan.

I was on the fence about buying these and I am glad I ended up getting them. Super quiet and move a ton of air. I am sticking with this brand for all my future builds!

The fans themselves are great, but I do not recommend them for compact spaces. Due to the extremely short cable the PWM socket and extension cable create a bulky slab of plastic that needs to fit somewhere around the fan. It made it difficult to get the dust filter on my Evolv case, but if the cables were longer I could have snaked the connection point away. I managed to tuck the connection point between the side of the fan and the case itself, but I was lucky to have enough space to do so. If you are working with limited space and need a long cable to move the connection point away from the fan I suggest finding something with a longer cable.

Great fan, its quiet and moves a lot of air.
