Review on πŸ–€ Noctua NF-A14 PWM chromax.Black.swap Premium Quiet Fan 140mm Black by Matt Buchanan

Revainrating 5 out of 5

But great fan of Noctua.

Excellent fan. The performance and noise levels are exactly what you would expect from a Noctua fan. However, it looks like Noctua's adopted child as it doesn't come with the same accessories as Noctua's classic beige and brown fan. They've made the cord that connects to this fan longer so an extension cord may not be needed, but it also doesn't come with a Y-adapter, silent adapter, or silicone mounts. The kit comes with colored anti-vibration mounts, but only 4 of each color. So you need to put different colors on each side. Of course, you don't have to have them on the other side, so this might work for you. Were cables and mounts not included because different colored anti-vibration mounts were added? Or did it cost more to change the color of the fan so they keep costs down by leaving out the accessories? I do not know. Noctua claims that changing the color of their fans is difficult as the material used is difficult/fragile on things like this. Anyway, the fan is great and you probably won't feel uncomfortable if you don't have the accessories, but for me - I was expecting them to be in the Noctua fan box, so I was a bit disappointed that they were it was not included.
