The chromax.black.swap edition combines the NF-A9’s signature quiet cooling performance with an attractive all-black design and a bundle of swappable red, white, blue, green, yellow and black anti-vibration pads that allow the colour-customisation of the fan to match individual build colour schemes. For further customisation, a wide range of accessories such as coloured cables and anti-vibration mounts are available separately. Topped off with Noctua’s trusted premium-grade SSO2 bearing and more than 150,000 hours MTTF, the NF-A9 PWM chromax.black.swap is the perfect choice for all users who value individual, focused build aesthetics just as much as class-leading quality and performance. AAO frame Noctua's AAO (Advanced Acoustic Optimisation) frames feature integrated anti-vibration pads as well as Noctua's proprietary Stepped Inlet Design and Inner Surface Microstructures, both of which further refine the fan's performance/noise efficiency. Swappable anti-vibration pads in 6 colours The NF-A9 PWM chromax.black.swap comes with 4 black, white, red, blue, green and yellow NA-AVP5 anti-vibration pads respectively. By combining the various colours with black or leaving off the pads on one side, the fan can be coordinated with most popular build colour schemes out of the box. Additional NA-SAVP5 sets for outfitting both sides in one colour can be purchased separately. SSO2 bearing The NF-A9 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 and durability. Flow Acceleration Channels The fan’s 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 and thus leads to better efficiency and lower vortex noise. Optional coloured cables Noctua’s chromax line fans use a modular cabling system and come pre-fitted with a fully sleeved black NA-EC1 30cm cable. For refined colour coordination, white, red, blue, green and yellow 30cm NA-EC1 cables plus corresponding NA-YC1 y-cables are available separately. Maximising colour choices, Noctua’s chromax.black.swap edition fans can be colour-customised using the included swappable anti-vibration pads as well as optional anti-vibration mounts and cables. This makes them ideal for enthusiasts looking for true premium-grade fans that can be colour-coordinated with popular build themes such as all black, black & white or black & red. Review: Perfect fit - I had a need for smaller fans for a small case. In keeping with good Noctua quality and consistency, it did the job and is quiet. It's kind of pricey as all Noctua stuff is. Airflow and static pressure are kind of wimpy, but average for a fan of this size. Cable length is okay. Wished it came in other colors like white, gray, yellow, red, etc. Review: Yo dog I herd you like quiet? So I got you effective cooling too! - OK so more serious I upgraded form a 3600 to a 3900X and figured i could use a bit more cooling since the 3900X are known to run hot. Well with my unique system there is a need for unique cooling solutions ,and I like em quiet. PROS: This fan is actually somehow quieter than the Original Brown fan 14mm thickness, ,but it is 25mm thicc. Mounts right up without having to take cooler off, And the box is super nice like all noctua products. It provides better cooling by 2-4 degrees, I run at 50 at idle and 60 while flat out the 3600 ran at about 10 degrees cooler. My system is built for minimal noise and minimal fans. Everything is Perfectly silent. If you need a quite 92mm fan go ahead and buy this. I also like Be Quiet! Silent Wings or Dark Wings for case fans but Noctua is the way for Small and effective. and the L9 is the perfect cooler if you are tight on space and this fan gets you the looks you want. ok here is the CONS Its thicker than the original fan , but this is only a negative if you cant spare the extra 11mm and it s so quiet that you cant tell if its even running. im not sure if its legal to be this quiet. and final thoughts every Noctua product i have tried so far has well beaten my expectation and i will recommend them to anyone with any need, especially if you needs are good cooling and shhhhhhhhh. ## Features - Premium quiet fan, 92x92x25mm, 12V, 4-pin PWM, max. 2000 RPM, max. 22.8 dB(A), >150,000 h MTTF - Award-winning 92x25mm A-series fan with Flow Acceleration Channels and Advanced Acoustic Optimisation frame for superior quiet cooling performance - Ideal for 9cm CPU coolers (e.g. Noctua NH-U9(S) & NH-D9L series), compact PC cases (HTPC, ITX, Small Form Factor), replacement fan for NAS and other devices, etc. - 4-pin PWM version for automatic speed control via 4-pin PWM fan headers, broad 400-2000rpm speed range, stops at 0% PWM for semi-passive systems - chromax.black.swap edition with all-black design and swappable red, black, white, blue, yellow and green anti-vibration pads for colour-customising (4 pads of each colour) ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B07ZHF2BPB | | Air Flow Capacity | 78.9 Cubic Meters Per Hour | | Best Sellers Rank | #170 in Computer Case Fans | | Brand | Noctua | | Brand Name | Noctua | | Compatible Devices | Desktop | | Cooling Method | Air | | Customer Reviews | 4.8 out of 5 stars 1,261 Reviews | | Global Trade Identification Number | 09010018100488 | | Included Components | Noctua NF-A9 PWM chromax.Black.Swap, High Silent Fan | | Item Dimensions L x W x H | 3.62"L x 3.62"W x 0.98"H | | Item Type Name | Fan | | Item Weight | 0.1 Kilograms | | Manufacturer | Noctua | | Material Type | Fibre-glass reinforced PBT | | Maximum Rotational Speed | 2000 RPM | | Model | NF-A9 PWM CH.BK.S | | Noise Level | 22.8 Decibels | | Number of Items | 1 | | Part Number | NF-A9 PWM chromax.black.swap | | Power Connector Type | 4-Pin | | Product Dimensions | 3.62"L x 3.62"W x 0.98"H | | UPC | 841501110481 | | Voltage | 12 Volts | | Warranty Description | 6 years manufacturer warranty | ## Product Details - **Air Flow Capacity:** 78.9 Cubic Meters Per Hour - **Brand:** Noctua - **Compatible Devices:** Desktop - **Cooling Method:** Air - **Material:** Fibre-glass reinforced PBT - **Maximum Rotational Speed:** 2000 RPM - **Noise Level:** 22.8 Decibels - **Power Connector Type:** 4-Pin - **Product Dimensions:** 3.62"L x 3.62"W x 0.98"H - **Voltage:** 12 Volts ## Images ![NF-A9 PWM chromax.Black.swap, Premium Quiet Fan, 4-Pin (92mm, Black) - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/81OSJp94FrL.jpg) ![NF-A9 PWM chromax.Black.swap, Premium Quiet Fan, 4-Pin (92mm, Black) - Image 2](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/81nAtsluicL.jpg) ![NF-A9 PWM chromax.Black.swap, Premium Quiet Fan, 4-Pin (92mm, Black) - Image 3](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/81FASuf6zRL.jpg) ![NF-A9 PWM chromax.Black.swap, Premium Quiet Fan, 4-Pin (92mm, Black) - Image 4](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/819ixATTS2L.jpg) ![NF-A9 PWM chromax.Black.swap, Premium Quiet Fan, 4-Pin (92mm, Black) - Image 5](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/71svPJmDCLL.jpg) ## Available Options This product comes in different **Size** options. ## Questions & Answers **Q: Can i replace Noctua l9x65 fan with this fan?

It runs smoothly with very minimal vibrations and is extremely quiet even at full speed. It was clearly designed more for silence than performance though since it doesn't move a huge amount of air even when running at full speed in open air. I'd say it has about average performance for a 92MM fan with much lower than average noise. It would be nice if this fan had a bit higher maximum RPM in case more cooling is ever needed since it could always be turned down if it's too loud but can't go higher than 100%, but since most people buying Noctua fans are probably mostly doing it for the silence and wouldn't normally be running it at full speed anyways, this wouldn't be a drawback to most of their customers. ## Frequently Bought Together - Noctua NF-A9 PWM chromax.Black.swap, Premium Quiet Fan, 4-Pin (92mm, Black) - Noctua NF-A12x25 PWM chromax.Black.swap, Premium Quiet Fan, 4-Pin (120mm, Black) - Noctua NF-A12x15 PWM chromax.Black.swap, Premium Quiet Slim Fan, 4-Pin (120x15mm, Black) --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.us/products/212918027-nf-a9-pwm-chromax-black-swap-premium-quiet-fan-4](https://www.desertcart.us/products/212918027-nf-a9-pwm-chromax-black-swap-premium-quiet-fan-4) --- *Product available on Desertcart United States of America* *Store origin: US* *Last updated: 2026-05-15*
