Having received more than 100 awards and recommendations from international hardware websites and magazines, the NF-A14 is one of Noctua’s most renowned and popular 140mm fans. Its square frame makes it ideal for use on water cooling radiators or as a case fan. The chromax.black.swap edition combines the NF-A14’s signature quiet cooling performance with an attractive all-black design and a bundle of swappable red, white, blue, green, yellow and black anti-vibration pads that allow the colour-customisation of the fan to match individual build colour schemes. For further customisation, a wide range of accessories such as coloured cables, additional anti-vibration pads and anti-vibration mounts are available separately. Topped off with Noctua’s trusted premium-grade SSO2 bearing and more than 150,000 hours MTTF, the NF-A14 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.
Award-winning NF-A14 design
Having received more than 100 awards and recommendations from the international press, Noctua's NF-A14 has become a proven premium choice for 140mm cooling needs. Its renowned efficiency has convinced tens of thousands of customers all over the world.
Swappable anti-vibration pads in 6 colours
The NF-A14 PWM chromax.black.swap comes with 4 black, white, red, blue, green and yellow NA-AVP1 anti-vibration pads respectively. By combining the various colours with black or leaving off the pads on one side, the fan can be coordinated with most popular build colour schemes out of the box. Additional NA-SAVP1 sets for outfitting both sides in one colour can be purchased separately.
SSO2 bearing
The chromax line fans feature 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 Channels
The NF-A14 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.
Square 140mm frame
The NF-A14's square 140mm frame with 140mm mounting holes (124.5mm spacing) makes it a premium grade replacement for common 140mm case fans and perfect for use on 140mm water cooling radiators, where its square shape will ensure full coverage and best pressure performance.
chromax.black.swap edition
Maximising colour choices, Noctua’s chromax.black.swap edition fans can be colour-customised using the included swappable anti-vibration pads as well as optional anti-vibration mounts and cables.

After using the Noctua NF-A14 PWM chromax.black.swap fans in my setup; I can confidently say they live up to Noctua’s reputation. They deliver top-tier cooling performance while finally ditching the classic brown color scheme for a sleek black design with customizable color accents.🌀 Performance – Keeps Temps Low & Runs SmoothThese fans move air while remaining quiet. Running at a maximum of 1500 RPM, they push plenty of airflow through my case and radiator while remaining whisper-quiet at lower speeds. My system temperatures dropped noticeably compared to my stock fans, making them an excellent upgrade for air-cooled and liquid-cooled setups.🔇 Noise – Mostly Silent, Minor Hum at Certain SpeedsAt low to mid RPMs, they’re nearly silent. At full speed, they’re audible but not obnoxious. It’s not a dealbreaker but worth mentioning if you’re super sensitive to noise.💪 Build Quality – Noctua-Level DurabilityAs expected from Noctua, the build quality is top-notch. The fan feels solid, and the anti-vibration pads help reduce any unnecessary noise. Noctua fans are known for their long lifespan, so I expect these to last for years without issues.🎨 Aesthetics – Finally, a Good-Looking Noctua Fan!Noctua finally ditched the brown! The all-black design is sleek and modern, and I love that they include swappable colored anti-vibration pads (red, blue, yellow, white, green, and black) to match different setups. It’s a small but nice touch for customization.✅ Final Verdict – Worth Every Penny!If you want a quiet, high-performance 140mm fan that looks great and delivers exceptional cooling, the NF-A14 chromax.black.swap is a no-brainer. Noctua’s build quality and cooling efficiency make it a fantastic investment, even at a premium price.⭐ Rating: 9/10—It has excellent cooling and great aesthetics. I would rebuy it!

This was my 2nd set of Noctua NF-A14 fans I purchased. I previously purchased a duo at the time when I built my PC back in March (top fans). This 2nd set is for my front intake fans. What a world of difference. Pushes air quietly and efficiently both in and out of the case. Fan build is amazing. I love how they have the rubber grommets for your fan corners for anti-vibration. With these case fans along with the Noctua DH-15 cpu cooler my gaming rig is no concern at this point for high temps. Highly recommended!

For the quietest fan money can buy, I would highly recommend this fan. It does an excellent job at staying quiet while providing great airflow. However, I did run into a problem when I received it—all the screws were stripped. This was pretty frustrating during assembly. Despite that issue, the fan itself works really well, so if you're willing to overlook the screw problem, it’s a solid choice.

Not that much to it, noctua never fails to deliver! Whispering quiet and great build quality! (My HDDs make more sound than these fans on 85%)

I bought these for a build and they work great, so very quiet, especially when you configure the settings for Temperature control, can control them using PWM or by Voltage.If they ever go to Max speed, there is some noise, but it helps cool case very quickly.

But no problem, since II bought also a cheaper Noctua fan, and I put some corner pieces of this one (you get 4 full sets!) on that fan, and saved some money. The fan works great, I use it at about 450/500 RPM and then it is silent. I only hear it when the PC starts up and everything spins at full speed.

These are great fans. I bought them as replacements for some extremely noisy (tone) Arctic P14s. While these are very pricey, I felt safe buying them and I was not disappointed.A couple of things. First of all, there is a white box on the underside of the case that has all the extra colored dampeners (and screws). The front of the case only shows one of each so make sure you check the other side!Secondly, the connector wire off the fan is *extremely* short (laughably short). You're almost certainly going to have to use the included extension. There is also no daisy chaining of these fans, so you'll need a splitter or hub if you want to do this.Lastly, I don't think they have threaded holes, but they do come with self-tapping screws. It's somewhat irritating that they aren't threaded given their price.These push a ton of air and a very quiet except for at the higher RPMs (which is a given due to how much air they push). If only they weren't so pricey. That's the big downside here.

I bought these based on Noctua's stellar reputation without expecting much more than a quiet replacement for my case fans. I was pleasantly surprised when they turned out to be better than I had expected. I use these connected to the PWM fan headers on my motherboard and they are so quiet, way more so than the Phanteks case fans they replaced. To be fair to the case fans that were replaced they were close to 5yrs steady use and were showing the abuse of constant use. I like the vibration dampeners on the Noctua fans, being able to swap those out to match your color theme is nice, and I intentionally choose NON-RGB fans for my case fans as my setup has plenty of RGB already. These fans move a ton of air and do it quietly, they hardly ever ramp up because my case has good airflow and they provide plenty of air. I was rather surprised that my GPU temps dropped with the addition of these fans, that is just how much better the air is moving in my case. While I am using these as case fans they would make EXCELLENT radiator fans if your looking for replacement fans for a 140mm or 280mm radiator. They are definitely worth the premium in price, build quality is superb, you can feel it when you hold them in your hand.Note you may want to pickup additional PWM splitter or extensions if your case is huge, or your motherboard doesn't have headers in a convenient location. I didn't run into this but I could see it being an issue for some. The fans do come with a 30mm extension attached to the short cable on the fans so for example in the pics I included I could have just used a y-splitter on the two in the front and attached one of the 30mm extensions to that and ran it to the header on my motherboard. Cable management and routing is a case by case and personal choice kind of thing though.Bottom line, these are excellent fans.
