> 3 dayI am using this fan along with a ULNA adapter that I had from another fan.

> 3 dayAs per the other reviews, I can also confirm at mid-high speeds, there’s a high pitched whine noise. I mean, these are much faster than my other Noctua radiator fans (which are whisper quiet), so my solution was to turn their RPMs down to <1200 to match.

> 3 dayNoctua’s PC fans are a technical wonder! Dead silent....when RPM levels are configured in BIOS...& there’s no equal in terms of comparable quality. I used the 92mm as an intake fan on my Lian Li 07SX case (mod install on case front).

> 3 dayI replaced the ugly orange and red fan that came in a Thermalright heat sink with this. This is thinner at 14 mm and more powerful and quiet too. A great buy for a small form factor system.

> 3 dayThis fan is VERY quiet and a good pick for a almost noiseless fan!

> 3 daySwapped the rear 92mm OEM Coolermaster fan out of a HP Omen 30L with this. These cases are basically miniature ovens, so I was forced to swap the stock cpu cooler with a top mounted AIO also. I wanted a rear fan that was quiet and didn’t move a ton of air so the rad fan could get most of whatever fresh air made it to the top.

10-06-2025Very unusually the standard brown noctua fan that came with the heatsink for my new i5 seemed to die. I ordered this and received it the next day as per my shipping choice and was able to easily install it. It also comes with a fan cable that is much longer than the original which turned out to be nice.

Having received dozens of awards and recommendations from international hardware websites and magazines, the NF-A9x14 has established itself as a default choice when it comes to premium-quality slim 92mm fans. The chromax.black.swap edition combines the NF-A9x14’s signature quiet cooling performance with an attractive all-black design and a bundle of self-adhesive red, white, blue, green, yellow and black anti-vibration pads that allow the colour-customisation of the fan to match individual build colour schemes. Topped off with Noctua’s trusted premium-grade SSO2 bearing and more than 150,000 hours MTTF, the NF-9x14 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.
14mm low profile design
Measuring only 14mm in thickness, the NF-A9x14 is much slimmer than standard 92x25mm fans. This makes it ideal for all applications where standard fans would take up too much space, such as low profile CPU coolers in HTPC builds or server environments.

Self-adhesive anti-vibration pads in 6 coloursThe NF-A9x14 PWM chromax.black.swap comes with 8 swappable, self-adhesive anti-vibration pads in black, white, red, blue, green and yellow respectively, which allow the fan to be fully colour-customised in order to coordinate it with other components or popular build schemes. |
SSO2 bearingThe NF-A9x14 features 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 fan’s 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. |
Optional coloured cablesNoctua’s chromax line fans use a modular cabling system and come pre-fitted with a fully sleeved black NA-EC1 30cm cable. For refined colour coordination, white, red, blue, green and yellow 30cm NA-EC1 cables plus corresponding NA-YC1 y-cables are available separately. |
Maximising colour choices, the NF-A9x14 chromax.black.swap fan can be colour-customised using the included self-adhesive anti-vibration pads as well as optional coloured cables. This makes it ideal for enthusiasts looking for a true premium-grade fan that can be colour-coordinated with popular build themes such as all black, black & white or black & red.
