> 24 hourI bought this version because I didnt want it to be brown and didnt care about the lack of cables. The fan runs quiet and do a great job replacing the stock fans/shroud on my Zotac GTX 1080. As a fan, it is five stars but I understand why people are bothered by the increase in price while losing some of the accessories. Bottom-line: get this one only if you want the fan to be black, otherwise the classic brown ones are better value.

> 24 hourSeems to be a nice quiet slim case fan, I needed one in my Silverstone GD08 HTPC to clear the video card because of the length of my MSI Radion 5600 XT sticks out over the bottom front mounted fans. My only reason for deducting one star from the value is that the fan didnt quite clear the case on the back side and required some small rubber shims to keep the fan blades from rubbing on the case. Could just be a flaw in the metalwork of my case, but its something you might need to do too.

> 24 hourI have tried many, many fans in the past and they all fall short. I havent seen a better crafted fan than Noctuas. Yes we all want to save money, yes some of us love RGB but until and unless Noctua builds it you are wasting your money. These fans are sturdy, powerful, quiet and are worth every penny that you spend!

> 24 hourCouldn’t pass up the opportunity to use those remarkable and yet powerful slim fans for my new 240mm AIO in a push/pull config. Will always trust their brands!

> 24 hourGood product, should have come with longer cables. Don’t mind the short ones, but these are too short to be tucked. Very slim fan, very quiet. Was as expected quality from noctua, again just wish cabling was better. Would buy again.

> 24 hourYou cant get any better fan the any of the Noctuas. This is the thin version and we use it to gain more space in our computer builds. Guaranteed for more hours than most other parts on your computer so if you want to be sure you unit stay cool and continues operating this is the fan to buy.

> 24 hourThese are some really fantastic (pun very intended) little fans. Their tone, and volume, output are all quite acceptable. They will get a little on the higher pitched side at full speed directly next to a mesh air panel, but at most operating speeds it barely makes any noticeable noise. They provide a lot of air movement, and certainly have enough static pressure output for being used on radiators. The all black aesthetic is great, took Noctua long enough!
Having received dozens of awards and recommendations from international hardware websites and magazines, the NF-A12x15 has established itself as a default choice when it comes to premium-quality slim 120mm fans. The chromax.black.swap edition combines the NF-A12x15’s signature quiet cooling performance with an attractive all-black design and a bundle of self-adhesive red, white, blue, green, yellow and black anti-vibration pads that allow the colour-customisation of the fan to match individual build colour schemes. Topped off with Noctua’s trusted premium-grade SSO2 bearing and more than 150,000 hours MTTF, the NF-12x15 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.
15mm slim design
Having a thickness of only 15mm, the NF-A12x15 is much slimmer than standard 120x25mm fans. This makes it ideal for typical slim fan applications such as low-profile CPU coolers as well as for freeing up space by replacing standard 120x25mm fans on tower coolers, radiators or in PC cases.

Self-adhesive anti-vibration pads in 6 coloursThe NF-A12x15 PWM chromax.black.swap comes with 8 swappable, self-adhesive anti-vibration pads in black, white, red, blue, green and yellow respectively, which allow the fan to be fully colour-customised in order to coordinate it with other components or popular build schemes. |
SSO2 bearingThe NF-A12x15 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. |
Metal-reinforced motor hubWith many larger-diameter slim fan designs, the shorter axis and bearing lead to a reduced running stability and lifespan. The NF-A12x15 uses a metal-reinforced motor hub, a measure typically found in high-speed industrial fans, in order to ensure Noctua’s signature stability and longevity. |
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, the NF-A12x15 chromax.black.swap fan can be colour-customised using the included self-adhesive anti-vibration pads as well as optional coloured cables. This makes it ideal for enthusiasts looking for a true premium-grade fan that can be colour-coordinated with popular build themes such as all black, black & white or black & red.
