Noctua NF-A12x15 FLX, Premium Quiet Slim Fan, 3-Pin (120x15mm, Brown)

I always loved the Noctua fans just because they are one of the quietest ones on the market and produce a lot of airflow. I have a Zotac Zbox I use as a daily driver and I didnt like the temps that I was getting with it being passively cooled. I tried out a bunch of fans that I had and all of them seemed to help a bit, but were 25mm in height which made them too big for the application. I have it nested between my 2 monitors and the 15mm fan would do the trick. The only brand I considered for this was Noctua.

Quiet, thin, and moves plenty of air! Great product.

Pros:

This fan was purchased as a replacement for a computer chassis fan. It is vastly better than the original fans. Now Im considering replacing the other fans just to make everything quieter and more robust.

Somewhat short review:

Love these fans and the extra accessories it comes with. They are premium fans and you can connect them to your motherboards 4 pin connector. These have a 3 pin input since the models are not PWM. They are FLX if you connect them straight thru the motherboard they will run high and you will hear some noise. I say full load they will sound like your pc stock fans at medium load or ps4 in loading screen just starting to spin. These types of fans do come with 4 different cables

Helps cool the inside of a Node 202 build. Silent fans. I like them.

very good quality the only thing i wish was that it was a pwm fan.

I gotta say, this fan is something else. Its my first Noctua product, and the quality of the packaging, the fan itself, and the associated manual is next level. The fan works perfectly, Im glad how short the cable is by default (something to expect for fans of this size mainly used in small-factor rigs, yet its not always the case). I ended up staying with Noctua for my other needs after using this fan.

I bought to of these fans to use as exhaust up top. The flow is great and they are SUPER quiet. Two of these are quieter than any single fan I’ve had. Great build quality but nothing I didn’t expect from Novtua.
