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

Bought for use in my SFFPC. Was looking for a 140mm slim fan but there isnt many options if any at all. I have it connected to the CPU fan port so Im able to adjust the fan curve and monitor the temps being a PWM plug. Not noticeably loud. I hear my GPU fans way before I hear this one. No complaints. Black in color was a plus!

Ive been a Noctua user for years, first installing one of their CPU coolers on an i7-950 back in the day. Their products are great and most importantly... quiet. I purchased three of these fans to replace the case fans in my Fractal Design R5, one of which was failing with a clicking noise.

Overall, absolutely quality fans and very quiet. Some other reviews mentioned a hum at a specific range of RPM, and I have noticed it, too; However, I wear headphones or earphones when I use my PC most times, so it does not matter to me if they do make a slight hum at slower RPM. Let me tell you this, though, theyre pricey, but theyve improved my cases airflow and cooling, which is a Meshify C that already has good airflow. I love these fans, they feel nice to hold and are simple. I dont like RGB nonsense fans in my PC or in general, so Im glad these exist for people who just want performanxe and simplicity. Noctua and BeQuiet fans will always be my top 2 quality and quiet fans, even at their given price points.

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.

They cost more because theyre worth more.

Its no surprise that these fans deliver everything you could ask for in a computer fan. Theyre very quiet while supplying a great amount of airflow to my system. I use 3 total in my case, and they all work very well. My computer is on roughly 20hrs a day, and they still have no issues. The vibration reduction from the silicon pads in the corners are great, and the color choice is awesome. I personally use red for my red/black themed build.

Very good case fan. Noise level is excellent and pretty much unnoticeable during normal loads (noise level was good under load too). The screw holes are not pre-screwed with the spirals in them but apparently this is common with fans.

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.

Not much more to add its Noctua. They are simply the best

At first it felt and looked liked just any other fan. Maybe even cheap feeling. Was kinda pissed at how regular it felt after reading how noctua fans were superior quality. Then I plugged it in and now I see why noctua fans are loved! It was extremely quite at full speed(1500rpm)
