Review on ✨ Noctua NF-A9 PWM Chromax Black Swap, Premium Quiet 4-Pin Fan (92mm, Black) by Stephen Cernatescu

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Hey dog, I'm a herd, do you like silence? So I also have efficient cooling!

Okay, seriously, I have the 3600 on the 3900X upgraded and decided I needed some extra cooling as the 3900X is notoriously hot. Well with my unique system there is a need for unique cooling solutions and I love that they are quiet. PROS: This fan is actually quieter than Brown's original 14mm fan, but it's 25mm thick. Mounts straight up without removing the radiator. super good, like all noctua products. It offers 2-4 degrees better cooling, I idle at 50 and idle at 60 while the 3600 runs about 10 degrees cooler. My system is designed for minimal noise and minimal fans. Everything is completely still. If you want a 92mm silent fan, buy one. I also like Be Quiet! Silent Wings or Dark Wings for case lovers, but Noctua is the way to go small and efficient. and the L9 is the perfect cooler if you are short on space and this fan will give you the look you want. ok here the CONSIT is thicker than the original fan but that's only a minus unless you can spare the extra 11mm and it's so quiet you can't tell if it even works. I'm not sure if it's legal to be so quiet. and final thoughts that every noctua product i have tried so far has exceeded my expectations and i will recommend it to anyone with any needs especially if you need good cooling and shhh.
