Noctua NF-A9X14 HS-PWM CH.BK.S computer cooling system Computer case Fan 9.2 cm Black

 Description by quzo

PWM-controlled premium fan from high-end manufacturer Noctua in 92 mm format. As part of the chromax.black.swap series the NF-A9X14 PWM features outstanding technology and performance through the all-black color scheme and removable anti-vibration pads. Having received dozens of awards and recommendations from international hardware websites and magazines the NF-A9x14 has established itself as a default choice when it comes to premium-quality slim 92mm fans.

The chromax.black.swap edition combines the NF-A9x14’s signature quiet cooling performance with an attractive all-black design and a bundle of self-adhesive red white blue green yellow and black anti-vibration pads that allow the colour-customisation of the fan to match individual build colour schemes. Topped off with Noctua’s trusted premium-grade SSO2 bearing more than 150000 hours MTTF and 6-year manufacturer’s warranty the NF-9x14 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-A9x14 design Having received dozens of recommendations from the international press Noctua’s NF-A9x14 has become a proven premium choice for slim 92mm cooling needs. Its renowned efficiency has convinced tens of thousands of customers all over the world. chromax.black.swap edition Maximising colour choices the NF-A9x14 chromax.black.swap fan can be colour-customised using the included self-adhesive anti-vibration pads as well as optional coloured cables.

This makes it ideal for enthusiasts looking for a true premium-grade fan that can be colour-coordinated with popular build themes such as all black black & white or black & red. Self-adhesive anti-vibration pads in 6 colours The NF-A9x14 PWM chromax.black.swap comes with 8 swappable self-adhesive anti-vibration pads in black white red blue green and yellow respectively which allow the fan to be fully colour-customised in order to coordinate it with other components or popular build schemes.

Optional coloured cables Noctua’s chromax line fans use a modular cabling system and come pre-fitted with a fully sleeved black NA-EC1 30cm cable. For refined colour coordination white red blue green and yellow 30cm NA-EC1 cables plus corresponding NA-YC1 y-cables are available separately.

14mm low profile design Measuring only 14mm in thickness the NF-A9x14 is much slimmer than standard 92x25mm fans. This makes it ideal for all applications where standard fans would take up too much space such as low profile CPU coolers in HTPC builds or server environments.

Flow Acceleration Channels The NF-A9x14 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. AAO frame Noctua's AAO (Advanced Acoustic Optimisation) frames feature integrated anti-vibration pads as well as Noctua's proprietary Stepped Inlet Design and Inner Surface Microstructures both of which further refine the fan's performance/noise efficiency.

Stepped Inlet Design Noctua's Stepped Inlet Design adds turbulence to the influx in order to facilitate the transition from laminar flow to turbulent flow which reduces tonal intake noise improves flow attachment and increases suction capacity especially in space-restricted environments. Inner Surface Microstructures With the tips of the fan blades ploughing through the boundary layer created by the Inner Surface Microstructures flow separation from the suction side of the blades is significantly suppressed which results in reduced blade passing noise and improved airflow and pressure efficiency.

SSO2 Bearing The NF-A9x14 features 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. Custom-designed PWM IC with SCD Supporting fully automatic PWM speed control the NF-A9x14 uses Noctua's novel custom-designed NE-FD1 PWM IC that integrates Smooth Commutation Drive (SCD) technology.

By providing smoother torque impulses SCD suppresses PWM switching noises and thus makes the fan quieter at lower speeds. Stops at 0% PWM When the fan is set to 0% PWM duty cycle by the motherboard or PWM fan controller it will stop.

This makes it ideal for creating setups with semi-passive cooling that automatically turn the fans off and thus run completely silent at idle if thermals allow. 6-year manufacturer’s warranty Noctua fans are renowned for their impeccable quality and outstanding longevity. Like all Noctua fans the NF-A9x14 features an MTTF rating of more than 150.000 hours and comes with a full 6-year manufacturer's warranty.
