Noctua NF-A9x 14 PWM Slim 92mm Low Noise Fan Noctua's new 92mm fan is only 14mm wide & features Smooth Commutation Drive technology, modular cabling, Low-Noise Adaptors & a massive six years manufacturer's warranty. Featuring Noctua's AAO frame & sophisticated aerodynamic design measures such as Flow Acceleration Channels, the NF-A9x 14 is a highly optimised, premium quality quiet fan in 92x 14mm size. Due to its thickness of only 14mm, the NF-A9x 14 is a perfect match for low profile CPU coolers & all other applications that require slimmer fans. Noctua's custom-designed PWM IC for fully automatic speed control & reference class SSO2 bearings guarantee superb running smoothness & excellent long-term stability. Topped off with modular cabling, a Low-Noise Adaptor & 6 years manufacturer's warranty, the NF-A9x 14 is a premium choice for the highest demands. Features 92 x 14mm Slim quiet PC cooling fan Noise level from 8.2 d B (A) Feature packed Six year manufacturer's warranty 14mm Low Profile Design Measuring only 14mm in thickness, the NF-A9x 14 is much slimmer than standard 92x 25mm fans. This makes it absolutely ideal for all applications where standard fans would take up too much space, such as low profile CPU coolers in HTPC builds or server environments. Flow Acceleration Channels The NF-A9x 14 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 & thus leads to better efficiency & lower vortex noise. More info. AAO Frame Noctua's AAO (Advanced Acoustic Optimisation) frames feature integrated anti-vibration pads as well as Noctua's proprietary Stepped Inlet Design & Inner Surface Microstructures, both of which further refine the fan's performance/noise efficiency. More info. 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 & increases suction capacity, especially in space restricted environments. More info. 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 & enhanced airflow & pressure efficiency. More info. Integrated Anti-Vibration Pads Integrated Anti-Vibration Pads made from extra-soft silicone minimise the transmission of minute vibrations while maintaining full compatibility with all standard mounting systems & fan clips used on heatsinks. SSO2 Bearing The NF-A9x 14 features the further optimised second generation of Noctua's renowned, time-tested SSO bearing. With SSO2, the rear magnet is placed closer to the axis to provide even better stabilisation, precision & durability. More info. Custom designed PWM IC with SCD Supporting fully automatic PWM speed control, the NF-A9x 14 uses Noctua's novel, custom designed NE-FD1 PWM IC that integrates Smooth Commutation Drive (SCD) technology. By providing smoother torque impulses, SCD suppresses PWM switching noises & thus makes the fan quieter at lower speeds. More info. Low-Noise Adaptor The NF-A9x 14 is supplied with a Low-Noise Adaptor (L.N.A.) that reduces the maximum fan speed from 2200 to 1700rpm. The L.N.A can be used either to run the fan at a fixed speed of 1200rpm or to cap the maximum speed when using automatic PWM control. Extensive Cabling Options The fan's short 20cm primary cable minimises cable clutter in typical applications while the supplied 30cm extension provides extended reach when necessary. Both cables are fully sleeved & a 4-pin y-cable allows to connect a second NF-A9x 14 fan to the same PWM fan header for automatic control. Six years manufacturer's warranty Noctua fans are renowned for their impeccable quality & outstanding longevity. Like all Noctua fans, the NF-A9x 14 features an MTBF rating of more than 150.000 hours & comes with a full six years manufacturer's warranty. Specifications Size
