First off, I would consider myself a long time fan of Noctua products. Have used them for 12+ years and never had an issue with a cooler or fan - not once.
To add, the after sales service and RMA that Noctua provide is fantastic..
I decided to try out some of the new Noctua Chromax fans for the hell of it.
Bought four of them and added them to my Phanteks Enthoo Luxe case - 2 in the front, 1 exhaust and 1 on top..
As usual, the fans are the high quality you would expect from Noctua fans. These Noctua NF-A14 PWM chromax are exactly the same as the Noctua NF-A14 PWM fans - exchanging the Beige/Brown for all Black.
Quality fans.
The Good -
- Quieter than the stock fans.
- Have reduced temps (2c using P95 Blend and IBT).
- Fantastic build quality (as expected).
- 6 Year Warranty
- Interchangeable Corner Anti-Vibration pads - slew of different colours
The Bad -
- Price - compared to the original NF-A14 - paid €3.50 more per fan.
- Accessories gone - these new chromax fans don't include the Low-Noise Adaptor (L.N.A.), 4-Pin Y-Cable, 30cm Extension Cable and 4 Vibration-Compensators - that we always got with the original versions.
- New cable system - the wire that comes out from the fan is only 1-2cms long and then goes into a connector. You get a 30cm Cable with the fan that connects directly into the connector.
However, I have 2 issues with this -
a. the connection point so close to the actual fan is cumbersome and gets in the way and
b. you have lost 30cms in length in comparison to the original NF-A14 that came with a spare 30 cms extension cable.
- Missing Vibration corner pads - you only get "4 Anti-Vibration Corner Pads" of each colour provided.
That means that if you select say RED - you can only have it on one side of the fan. This is unacceptable imo. It meant I had to buy a pack of "Noctua NA-SAVP1 chromax.red ANTI-VIBRATION PADS" at a price of €11.80 from Noctuas ebay site. They were sold out everywhere else. The pack comes with 16 of the pads meaning I could have each corner of the fan with pads now all red. When you consider that all the previous Brown fans came with 8 (each corner) on each fan, this is totally unacceptable.
Note, I didn't have to purchase NA-SEC1 4-pin ext cables as had a few boxes from previous builds but needed to use two of them to extend the cables on the front fans. Therefore I would recommend you measure the distance between the fan location and the Fan Header on the motherboard. If using a HUB at the back of the Case, you should be fine.
In conclusion - I think the awe and worship I had for Noctua is fading. The fans are still the best fans on the market in my opinion but this scrimping on accessories and leaving you short on corner vibration pads has left a bad taste for me.
Also, I really don't like the new cable connection system at all. Its not as clean when placing the fans and cables.

Utbytbara vibrationsdämpande kuddar i 6 färgerNF-A14 PWM chromax.black.swap kommer med 4 st. svarta, vita, röda, blå, gröna och gula NA-AVP1 vibrationsdämpande kuddar. Genom att kombinera de olika färgerna med svart eller att lämna ena sidan utan kuddar kan fläkten anpassas till de flesta populära färgschemana. Ytterligare set med NA-SAVP1-kuddar för att klä båda sidorna i en färg kan köpas separat. |
SSO2-lagerChromax-fläktarna har den ytterligare förbättrade, andra generationen av Noctuas beprövade SSO-lager. Med SSO2 är den bakre magneten placerad närmare axeln för att ge ännu bättre stabilisering, precision och hållbarhet. |
Flow Acceleration ChannelsImpellern på NF-A14 är utrustad med Flow Acceleration Channels på sugsidan. Genom att öka hastigheten på luftflödet runt bladspetsarna minskar dessa avlösningen på sugsidan, vilket leder till högre effektivitet och lägre rotationsljud. |
Kvadratisk 140 mm ramNF-A14:s kvadratiska 140 mm ram med 140 mm monteringshål (124,5 mm avstånd) gör den till en förstklassig ersättare till vanliga 140 mm chassifläktar och perfekt för användning på 140 mm radiatorer i vattenkylningssystem. Den kvadratiska ramen garanterar maximal kompatibilitet och optimal lufttrycksprestanda. |
chromax.black.swap-utgåva
För att maximera färgalternativen kan Noctuas fläktar i chromax.black.swap-utgåvan färganpassas med de medföljande utbytbara vibrationsdämpande kuddarna, med valfria vibrationsdämpande fästen och med kablar.
