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.

Product Description
Having received dozens of awards and recommendations from international hardware websites and magazines, the NF-A9 has established itself as a default choice when it comes to premium-quality 92mm fans. 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 coloursThe 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 bearingThe 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 ChannelsThe 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 cablesNoctua’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.

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.

Never heard of them before, but I'm glad I know them now!
By Turon Jamison on March 18, 2021
I bought quite a few of them from Noctua to bring my Omen 30L temperatures down to nice and cool. Between several of these fans and the Noctua air cooler, I'm constantly sitting under 55c unless I'm stressing the system out.... Then I'm sitting under 75c. Pretty good for my first desktop!
