Noctua NF-A9 PWM, Premium Quiet Fan, 4-Pin (92mm, Brown)

Combined with a CRYORIG M9i cooler that replaced the old and dusty stock Intel cooler, this fan serves as an exhaust fan on the rear chassis. At max load with the most intensive transcoding x265 video tasks in Handbrake, the max rpm never exceeds 1300, and at idle and light web browsing, it hovers around 800 rpm. You simply do not hear it or feel any vibrations when its working when touching the case, but you can definitely feel the air coming out the rear exhaust of the case, keeping things nice and cool at 34-40 C and never above 70 C at max load. The difference it has made to the old Asus M11AD is like getting a new computer which operates so much more efficiently, especially with the added SSD boot drive from SK. Next Ill likely upgrade the PSU and Graphics Card in addition to another 92 mm fan mounted on the front of the case to keep things cool.

The fan works fine. It replaced an existing fan. The only issue is when the computer is started it is looking for the old fan and we have to tell it theres a different fan before the computer will start. It is just inconvenient.

Lo mejor que hay en ventiladores

This review is for both the 92mm and 80mm versions of this model, 4-wire units with speed controlled by the motherboard.

Good quite fan,

Go Go Brown! Im using this one for an exhaust on my 20 yr old modified Lian Li case. I got 4 Noctuas, 3 different sizes, best cooling solution Ive ever used. The extra cables come in handy. Im about to order one more fan and one of their cpu coolers too.

Works as advertised

Great fan, runs smooth. I cant even hear it run at full speed when the case is closed. Yes the color is ugly, but if you have any rgb in your case then you wont be able to tell.

The noise level advertised is using one of the resistor cables that come with the kit to limit the speed to 1500 RPM. If you install them without the resistor cable they run above 2000 and are very loud.They are what I would say is normal at 1500…They are not 17 dB… I can assure you that. My Iwatch said 62…I’m sure it’s not accurate, but I’m sure it’s not 17. They move a lot of air though.

Well known for their quietness and quality. Comes with lots of extension cables.
