> 3 daythis is my second purchase of Noctua fans, I’ve been pleased with the performance and noise levels running at high rpms.

> 3 dayReplaced exhaust stock fan on my Cooler Master H500M. Quieter, with PWM control, and added some bling with the colored corners to match my cables.

> 3 dayThe construction and the fan blade is exactly the same as the ML140 non-rgb version. Dont know who copied whom but I tried to run the two at same RPMs, they sound the same. Not an upgrade.

> 3 dayThis is a great fan, but... Honestly Im happier with the NF-P14s-1500s I got, which are also noctua, ostensibly lower end, and cheaper, but they seem quieter to me and move more air at the same RPM. You miss out on the vibration pads, sure, but... Its not like they included enough of those to get both sides matching colors, anyways. I suppose if efficiency is your goal, this draws about a watt less of power than the others for very similar noise, airflow, and RPM, but all of them operate on less than three watts, so its hardly the first place to optimize.

Greater than one weekIt’s Noctua, they always provide quality products. Love that they went away from the odd colors of other fans.

Greater than one weekIt comes with a 30cm cable thats replaceable, but thoroughly disappointed when installing that the cables couldnt reach the plug ins. I had to order replacement 60cm cables they, which noctua actually produces and sells. I am unable to test out this product until the new cables arrive.

> 3 dayNot that I dont enjoy the brown NF-A14 but being able to get an amazing fan in black with color vibration isolators seals the deal. Standard Noctua quality, worth the money!

03-06-2025Swapping to these from cooler master “master fans” was a night and day difference. Noise level being the biggest difference. I’m able to run the fans at higher speed and they’re still much more quiet than my previous mentioned fans. The build quality is spectacular which is what I expected from noctua. I won’t buy any brand of fan other than noctua again. If you’re new to building a pc take my advice screw the rgb and screw any other fans to be honest. You want these right here.
Having received more than 100 awards and recommendations from international hardware websites and magazines, the NF-A14 is one of Noctua’s most renowned and popular 140mm fans. Its square frame makes it ideal for use on water cooling radiators or as a case fan. The chromax.black.swap edition combines the NF-A14’s signature quiet cooling performance with an attractive all-black design and a bundle of swappable red, white, blue, green, yellow and black anti-vibration pads that allow the colour-customisation of the fan to match individual build colour schemes. For further customisation, a wide range of accessories such as coloured cables, additional anti-vibration pads and anti-vibration mounts are available separately. Topped off with Noctua’s trusted premium-grade SSO2 bearing and more than 150,000 hours MTTF, the NF-A14 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.

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.
