NoctuaNF-A9x14 PWM, Premium Quiet Fan, 4-Pin (92x14mm, Brown)

Bought as a replacement for the one which came with my low profile cooler, that one lasted about 3 years with 70-75% uptime until a bearing failure.Very quiet, comes with all the installation accessories you could need and fits great with enough room for airflow in my SFF PC.

I installed one of these into my Asrock A300 DeskMini PC back in 2020.Recently it started to intermittently stop working. Now this could have been me for not reading the small print and thus had been using an air duster every 6 months to clean it.So I ordered a new one.Turned up the next day and worked straight of the box.Wow this fan is so quiet I keep thinking it's not working.There's a faint hum (and you have to strain your ears to hear it) from the shelf it sits on other than that you can only tell its working by peering through the grill to see if its spinning.Would I buy another absolutely.Would I do anything different to clean it - yes don't let it spin when dusting it.I can only assume the fan spun too fast when I air dusted it, which caused some kind of damage.

Using this on my cpu cooler and it's super quiet and keeps the cpu nice and cool so performance on this fan is great

i had been using a stock cpu fan/heatsink since i built my machine. the cpu fan was getting quite noisy but the heatsink is a great design. i couldn't find any coolers that i liked and didn't wanna spend too much on it either so decided to buy this case fan and attach it to my stock heatsink. first try was to use extra strong velcro. didn't last long. found a youtube tutorial that used cable ties so i got my small reusable cable ties out and after some time fiddling them through and around the heatsink (and after putting it on the wrong way initially) i made it work. in retrospect it really wasn't that difficult and now the pc has become considerably quieter. the original stock fan was 70mm, the heatsink was 90x70 so i thought i'd get a 90mm noctua to replace the 70mm one. it is working really well now. i then went ahead and bought a second noctua fan 90mm to put at the back of my case as the stock case fan was also pretty noisy i realised. I know that i will eventually replace all my case fans with noctua, they are just so quiet, it's amazing, the quality is outstanding. for the case fan i added the speed regulating and extension cable that came with the fan. i used the rubber mounts on the case fan, only 2 of them as there weren't more fitting holes. was a bit fiddly but once in place it's a solid setup even on 2 instead of 4 rubber mounts. was only fiddly because it's at the back of the case under the psu.FYI, cpu fan on 4pin and case fan on 3pin power. both work, 4pin with normal cable and 3pin with speed regulating cable.

Cooling a i5 6600K with a noctua L9i cooler (achieved max 53 celcius with 3DMark 11 benchmarking, idle around 30) and using this fan (same fan that comes with the L9i) to cool a reference blower gtx 660 (I removed the shroud and attached to headsink with zipties) cause it didn't fit in my NFC S4M skyreach. Cools the 660 very well (max 76 celcius with 3DMark 11) with idle temps around 30-40 degrees. Very good results considering that fact that I used the low noise adapter which comes with this fan (and the L9i) which reduces the fan curve. At 50 cm away, you actually can't tell whether its on or off, its that quiet! Your breathing is louder than the fans at that distance. You have to make your ears touch the fans to hear a super low frequency hum that sounds just like wind blowing softly, no coil whine or any unpleasant noise at all. HIGHLY RECOMMEND for anyone seeking for a 0 RPM build, 10/10 for cooling performance and quietness.

Price is the main con of this product, but in terms of quality, cooling power and noise level still the best option.

I purchased a palit 4090 recently and unfortunately the fans were incredibly loud even at the lowest spin up speed of 30%. I decided to remove the palit shroud along with the 3 fans that came with it and replace them with 3 of these Noctua fans. A couple of cables ties later and my 4090 is now whisper quiet and doesn't surpass 67 degrees on load, all while only spinning at 30%I highly recommend these fans for any custom GPU cooling

Great quiet fans. Well packed with lots of adapters for different applications. I used two of these to modify an MSI 6600gt 2x OC graphics card, which has worked out great and is now very quiet and running much cooler along with new thermal paste by Noctua too.
