NF-A9x14 HS-PWM chromax.Black.swap, Premium Quiet Slim Fan, 4-Pin (92x14mm, Black)

I didn't always pay -that- much attention to what fans I used. Most of the time, I'd rescue them out of retired builds and cases, and recycle them into new systems as a sort of "tribute" to the predecessor. When I set out to build my Skyreach PC, which was my console-killer wet dream, I knew each part going in needed to be the best possible in it's class. I initially bought the NH-L9i in Chromax Black and was so impressed by it, I decided to go full Noctua in this system. I replaced the GPU fans (noisy, kinda whiny and frankly too tall to fit) with these fans, and it's been great. I was actually surprised at how well they performed at low-speeds in tasks where noise was a concern. That said, they can get LOUD. ASUS Fan Xpert allows you to crank all connected fans to max speed and this little box becomes a jet engine. Add to that the vortexing issue with this case and things became unbearable. However, flipping the fans worked splendidly (from push to pull) and the avg temp jumped only 5c. With a mild undervolt and some fine-tuning, I had a quiet, high pressure fan that did a decent enough job repelling dust and keeping components cool. In comparison to other fans I have used over the years, I find the pitch and tone of the fan sound to be more pleasant to the ear. You'll find that most fans don't have -that- much different fanning abilities from their immediate competition, but you will HEAR the difference. I do prefer these greatly. The added bonus? No more puke brown, although I do have a slight fondness for that hilariously-outdated color scheme. I imagine the brand recognition factor is also there. And in the RGB era, seeing a brand stand up against competition without the pretty lights to mask any quality defects is refreshing and inspiring. If I had to gripe about one thing it'd be the price. You pay a -little- more than you would from competitors but honestly, you get something truly special with this company. Quality European engineering at it's best. All in all, these are incredibly well-engineered fans with the pedigree to boot. I will be using Noctuas in future situations that require low-noise, high static pressure fans. These are great. And they're kinda blingy, in their own cool way. Definitely a quiet flex.

Bought these for a new server rack and if you're here looking at a Noctua fan then you know what you're doing. They work and I won't buy any other brand for all of my builds for a reason. Different colors is a nice add on for once hah. No more solid brown. Build quality is spot on the normal Noctua brand, so nothing to worry about. They are super quiet and the "bumpers" eliminate any vibration. The cable options that come with it are a nice addition also.

Purchased as a replacement fan for a Thermalright AXP90-X47 low profile CPU cooler. I'm not experienced enough to know whether or not this fan or the cooler are doing a good job. And I don't really use my computer for anything too crazy. But compared to my previous CPU cooler before I upgraded my PC, this is very quiet! The fan works and installs well, and personally I like the all black color vs the orange/burgundy of the Thermalright fan.

Perfect fan swap for Thermalright AXP90-X47 FC. Quiet and efficient, even at high rpms.

used this to replace a bad fan on another cooler and it dropped load temp from 68c to 55c nice 👍

Noctua fans are expensive but are very high quality and are low noise if you care about having a silent computer like I do.

Got these to replace some fans that came with my NAS enclosure. After installing some adapters on the backplane, the provided fans were just slightly too big and the back panel wouldn't fit without some uncomfortable pressure. Got these and replaced the factory fans. I love that the power connector is so short! I already had cables running to the area and didn't need to zip tie up any slack. Airflow is the same, but these are easily half the thickness. System is super quiet. Love the black color of these. I know noctua is good quality, though the beige and brown they usually do is pretty awful for my tastes. The colored anti-vibration pads are fine. I just used the black ones because I'm basic.

This is a slim (14mm thick) variant of a typical 92mm fan (24mm thick) with a PWN connector for its speed and hence noise to be controlled via the BIOS making it suitable as a CPU fan. It is definitely intended for small form factor PCs. Noctua is known for its low noise profile. It can get loud. And it can operate at 0 rpm which is a neat feature that doesn't happen much in practice with today's hot CPUs. I had to adjust the fan curves in the BIOS to get something I liked. The stock AMD fan had a really annoying noise profile. It's an improvement over AMD's fan. But when compared to Thermaright's slim 92mm fan the differences are less pronounced. Perhaps one sounds better at lower RPMs than the other which sounds better at higher RPMs, but it's kind of hard to describe and probably more subjective. Honestly both are fine, and they seem to cool the CPU at the same temperatures at the same RPMs. My gripe is really with how AMD CPUs really boost their thermals rapidly and that kicks on fans which is quite hard to mitigate with adjusting the fan curves In the BIOS. Unfortunately, the seller isn't inspecting returns and mine was missing four of the black rubber adhesive corners. Otherwise it looked new and was undamaged. This ruins the athletics a bit but I decided to live with it.

Lo compré para tener una unidad de reserva para el disipador de CPU "NOCTUA NH-L9i-17xx" por si falla el ventilador original. Si tienes este modelo de disipador de CPU y quieres un ventilador de reserva es mejor comprar el modelo "Noctua NF-A9x14 HS-PWM chromax.black.swap" que el modelo "Noctua NF-A9x14 PWM" ya que ambos son compatibles y el primero es ligeramente más potente (2500 RPM vs 2200 RPM) teniendo ambos un precio similar. Antes de comprarlo solicité soporte por email del fabricante y su respuesta fue muy precisa indicándome datos que desconocía ya que la descripción de sus productos en su web es muy pormenorizada y siempre puedes omitir algún detalle importante. Se incluyen pads anti-vibración y estéticos de 6 colores distintos, yo solo instalé los que hacen contacto con el disipador. Se incluye un kit de 4 tornillos de 10 mm de largo. El cable de alimentación de 4 pines (No es RGB) mide 2 centímetros pero se incluye un cable de extensión de 30 centímetros de largo. La única pega es que el embalaje se puede abrir con facilidad sin dejar marcas, pero si llega con todo el contenido en perfecto estado, como fue mi caso, entonces se agradece tener una caja impoluta, sin marcas de apertura. 6 años de garantía para un producto con partes móviles, que gira a tantas revoluciones y que contiene aceite presurizado en su interior es un indicador de la calidad de los productos NOCTUA.

En mi opinion la mejor marca para ventiladores y Enfriadores, la calidad de los productos esta de locos bueno hasta la caja se siente bien.

Noctua NH-L9a AM4のファンが壊れたので購入して付け替えました。問題なく動作してます。

140 mm değil bu fan bunu bilerek alın; ürün arama kısmına 140mm yazınca bu da çıkıyor fakat bu 92mm yani çok küçük. Ürün model kodundaki (NF-A9x14) 14 de çok yanıltıyor. Fanın kendisinde sorun yok sonuçta noctua inanılmaz sessiz ve kaliteli; 120 mm fanı vardı önceden hala kullanıyorum ama bu çok küçük. 6 tane gerekliydi gümrük nedenlerinden dolayı 6 parçaya bölerek almak zorunda kalmıştım tek tek iade etmem gerekti. Dikkat edin lütfen.

Solid fan, no surprises. It delivers the legendary Noctua quality you expect. The included colored vibration pads are a nice touch. You do pay a bit of a price premium, but for the performance and build, it's worth it, not to mention the limited options in 92mm slim fans make it one of the very few fans to consider. It has been on my Thermalright AXP90 X53 for the past 6-months, and working flawlessly.
