Just a couple weeks ago Noctua finally presented its chromax.black line of CPU coolers, which included the NH-D15, NH-U12S, and the NH-L9i. Today, the company is adding five new fans to its chromax.black.swap series fans to complement its 120 and 140 mm models that have already been out for a while longer.
For this batch, Noctua is revealing the NF-A20 PWM, NF-A12x15 PWM, NF-A9 PWM, NF-A9x14 HS-PWM and NF-A8 PWM in chromax.black.swap variants, which come in black with swappable colors for the anti-vibration pads. These include white, red, green, blue, and black pads for the purists. The two slim models of the fans (NF-A12x15 and NF-A9x14) come with eight colored self-adhesive pads instead of the regular anti-vibration pads.
| Header Cell - Column 0 | Size | Max RPM | Max Noise | Price |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| NF-A8 PWM | 80 mm x 25 mm | 2200 RPM | 27.7 dBA | $19.90 |
| NF-A9x14 | 92 mm x 14 mm | 2500 RPM | 23.6 dBA | $19.90 |
| NF-A9 PWM | 92 mm x 25 mm | 2000 RPM | 22.8 dBA | $19.90 |
| NF-A12x-15 PWM | 120 mm x 15 mm | 4850 RPM | 23.9 dBA | $24.90 |
| NF-A20 PWM | 200 mm x 30 mm | 800 RPM | 18.1 dBA | $34.90 |
All of the fans will come with Noctua's 6 year warranty, which it backs because they've managed to achieve an MTBF of 150,000 operational hours thanks to the very-silent SSO2 bearings.
The units should all be hitting shelves soon with the prices listed in the table above.
