Noctua NF-A14-PWM-CH-BK-S Chromax Black Swap
Overview
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, more than 150,000 hours MTTF and 6-year manufacturer’s warranty, 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.
Chromax.black.swap edition
Maximising colour choices, Noctuas 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. This makes them ideal for enthusiasts
looking for true premium-grade fans that can be colour-coordinated with popular
build themes such as all black, black & white or black & red.
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.
Optional coloured cables
Noctuas 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.
Optional coloured anti-vibration mounts
To complement the coloured anti-vibration pads included with the fans, users
can purchase chromax line NA-SAV2 anti-vibration mounts that enable the
convenient, quick and vibration-free installation of fans in standard mounting
holes for case fans.
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.
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.
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 chromax line fans feature the further optimised second generation of
Noctuas renowned, time-tested SSO bearing. With SSO2, the rear magnet is placed
closer to the axis to provide even better stabilisation, precision and
durability.
Metal bearing shell
In order to guarantee the highest possible degree of manufacturing precision,
minimum tolerance and excellent long-term stability, the chromax edition fans
sport a CNC milled bearing shell made entirely from brass.
Custom-designed PWM IC with SCD
Supporting fully automatic PWM speed control, the chromax edition fans use
Noctua’s 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 low speeds.
6-year manufacturer’s warranty
Noctua fans are renowned for their impeccable quality and outstanding
longevity. Like all Noctua fans, the chromax edition models feature an MTBF of
more than 150,000 hours rating and come with a full 6-year manufacturer's
warranty.
