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

Pretty much the same as a normal A14 performance wise. Comes with a 4 pin extender which makes the overall length of the cord the same as a usual fan. I suppose the actual connector from the fan is that short so you can use their chromax extenders to change the color of your cords but it just causes a big fan connector to get in the way of screwing in your fan. I had to mount these a little different because the fan connector was preventing me from running a screw through it.

These fans are excellent at what they do but you’d figure for $25 a pop they’d have longer cables, or extensions included.

The pictures easily show it, somehow when whoever was assembling it plugged the cable into the fan node, they bent the pin outside of the plug. I just unplugged it and bent the pin back into place and that seemed to solve the problem for now. But all in all these fans are simply the best theyre incredibly efficient which is why they are so quiet. I would give this an easy 5 stars if it just didnt come with the bent pin.

Overall this fan is just as nice as the non chromax version, the same quality anyone who has bought a noctua product before.

Great noctua fans. They Cost a little extra but worth it for me for the color scheme. Ive had far to many cheap fans in my life that develop bearing noise or other issues and Im not one to chase after rgb these days. Id deftinely recommend noctua fans if you care for longevity and silence

The AIO I got for my new build works great at keeping things cool. However, the fans made a really weird hum sound at higher speeds. I replaced them with these Noctua fans. I was VERY skeptical at first because they are not cheap, but the reviews just seemed so good. Well, they are that good. They are super quiet and super effective. Im a convert. Noctua fans from now on. They keep the CPU at a good temp and I never hear them.

good air flow, too much noise

Noctua fans are so quiet, and these Chromax fans look great too. I only use Noctua. You get what you pay for. Extension and screws are included, along with the anti-vibration pads. Be aware that you only get 4 of each color, so if you want the color flash facing you, youll need to use a different color set against your case. It comes with 6 colors so you have plenty of options.

Noctua fans, what is there to really say that hasnt been said?

Used these to replace the fans that came with my Corsair H110i cooler. Using the performance mode in the Corsair Link app with these fans in place of the stock fans became quieter than the stock fans on quiet mode. Needless to say I run on performance mode now which yields me a 15 degree celcius drop on cpu temp. So absolutely worth it! Quiet reliable performance!
