140 mm Noctua NF-A14 PWM chromax.black.swap case fan, 12V, 300–1500 RPM, PWM, 140.2 m³/h, 24.6 dB

The Noctua NF-A14 PWM chromax.black.swap is a 140mm square-frame fan designed for case cooling and water-cooling radiators. It pairs Noctua’s proven quiet performance and long-term reliability with an all-black finish and a set of swappable anti-vibration pads in six colours (black, white, red, blue, green, yellow) for visual customisation. The fan features Noctua’s SSO2 bearing, a metal (brass) CNC-milled bearing shell and a custom PWM IC with Smooth Commutation Drive for reduced low-speed noise. It is covered by a 6-year manufacturer’s warranty and an MTBF rating of over 150,000 hours.

Advantages

The chromax.black.swap edition allows easy colour coordination of the NF-A14 with included swappable anti-vibration pads and optional coloured cables and anti-vibration mounts. Its square 140mm frame ensures full coverage on 140mm radiators and compatibility with standard 140mm case-mounting holes. Advanced aerodynamic features such as Flow Acceleration Channels, Stepped Inlet Design and Inner Surface Microstructures improve airflow and pressure efficiency while reducing noise. The premium SSO2 bearing and brass bearing shell provide high precision and long-term stability.

How to use

Install the NF-A14 PWM chromax.black.swap in a standard 140 mm fan mount or on a 140 mm water-cooling radiator using the four mounting holes (124.5 mm spacing). Attach the fan with screws or, for reduced vibration, use the included anti-vibration pads or optional NA-SAV2 mounts. Connect the fan’s 4-pin PWM cable to a PWM-capable fan header on the motherboard or a compatible fan controller to allow automatic speed control. For colour customisation, swap the supplied NA-AVP1 pads as desired and consider optional coloured NA-EC1 cables or NA-SAV2 mounts.

Recommendations

For best cooling and low-noise results, use the NF-A14 PWM chromax.black.swap on 140 mm radiators or as a case fan with PWM control enabled. If you require a uniform colour on both sides, purchase additional NA-SAVP1 pad sets; for coordinated cable colours, use optional coloured NA-EC1 cables and NA-YC1 y-cables.
