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

I was unable to find thin fans like this one from other vendors, but this still exceeds my expectations. Noctua seems to always make great products that are quiet and effective.

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.

black and quite

Swapped 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.

Bought 2 of these as exhausts for my SFX case. Had to go into the bios and cap it to 30-35% RPM because it got loud and whiny at the default setting of 1500 RPM. I wouldnt recommend anything above 1200 RPM.

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

Just got mine, and it has normal a9x14 in it, not the chromax one.

I used 2x of these 92mm slim fans to save an MSI 5700 xt mech which has the most absolute Junk fans on the planet.

If you are buying this expecting a Notcua quality fan, DO NOT BUY. I had this and three NF-F12s except this was so loud. I highly recommend Notcua but this is a horrible fan. It is way too loud!

Great little fan. Easy super easy to install. Comes with an extension for easy connection.
