> 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 dayIf you plan on using this in a SSF case and having it on your desktop, this isnt it. Starting at around 1200 RPM this thing starts to whine like crazy. Best Ive found is to set it at around 1000 RPM and leave it. I have it currently mounted up as exhaust in a NCASE M1. Still a great little fan but I will be using it for a different application.

Greater than one weekExcellent fan for SFF builds. Makes no noise unless it’s in full load (which is expected and bearable).

> 3 dayUsed in a SFF build and they work phenomenal. Good for the price. Also really like the idea that you can change the colors.

Greater than one weekWhether your building a gaming PC for yourself or just putting something together for your parents general computing needs, I would not trust any other fan. I have had these fans in computers for over a decade, no failures ever, always quiet, and always plenty or airflow! You can not get a better fan anywhere.

> 3 dayI received the fans in a box without padding but the actual fan box was sturdy enough to not incur any damages.

> 3 dayThis was a direct swap out for the fan from my noctua NH-Li9 heatsink. I couldnt come to appreciate the signature brown fan. So it had to be replaced when the black came in stock.

> 3 dayI paired this with the cryorig C7 copper and put the fan label-down and my temps dropped 12C. It never goes above 85C now when gaming. Its also much quieter than the C7 fan.

Greater than one weekGreat little fan for the AMD 3600 CPU in my sffpc. However, the hardware that came in the box was not the right hardware to attach the fan to the cooler. I had to use my old set (which is bright silver not black) and it doesn’t blend in.
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.
