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

Replaced the factory fan on the power supply for my 3D printer. There was an immediate improvement in the sound levels. My modification to the printer also included replacing the factory cover on the power supply with one I printed allowing for significant increase in airflow. The power supply was moved from the printer cabinet so it was critical to reduce the overall noise the printer made.

Whether 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.

Very 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.

This fan saved me from destroying my ASUS pre-built system. The 92mm exhaust fan was loud, this fan makes my wife happy when we both work from home. Virtually silent, even during normal/high load.

Working with a 3080 FE in an NR 200 build, originally had 2 regular-sized fans for my GPU but eventually found out my mistake. Threw two of these Noctua slim fans under my GPU and peak temps went down by about 8-9 degrees, in some cases 10.

A+ Excellent!

This is a noctua fan. Cant get better than noctua. I dont like two things that they continue to do in their chromax black line of fans. The chromax line is for better aesthetics, yet they continue to have some kind of code number printed in white on one side of the fan frame, which makes it look ugly. These fans immediately terminate onto a 4pin female connector instead of including a decent length cable that terminates onto a 4 pin male connector like almost all other fans in existence do and all other noctua fans do. This makes cable management more annoying, as with the included extensions youll end up having a much longer cable than their standard fans and youll also have to cable manager a bulky connector right next to the fan whereas with the brown fans, if you needed an extension, itd be far enough away that itd mostly be out of sight and easier to cable manager. Tragically, noctua does make versions of the chromax black fans that have this last issue resolved, but they only come with the chromax coolers. So, if you dont want the bulky female fan connector edition of these fans, youre only option is to buy a chromax cooler that has the fan you want and then resell the cooler without the fan or something and keep the fan for yourself.

I didnt always pay -that- much attention to what fans I used. Most of the time, Id 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 its 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 its been great.

Bought two fans to use them as front air intake inside Fractal Design 7 compact. Easy to install and good quality.

What is there to say. It’s quiet and powerful.
