> 24 hourWhat more can i say? Its a reliable Noctua fan thats slimmer than the typical 25mm case fan. Fit two of these guys at the bottom of my CoolerMaster NR200P build with my graphic card mounted horizontally and it has room to spare where two full sized 25mm fan would have been a really tight fit. Couldnt ask for more.

> 24 hourWarning: The fan cable for chromax version is only a 1” long dongle. The 4-pin PWM “extension” cable included serves AS the entirety of the fan power cable. The “swappable” colored rubber pads are adhesive one-time-use, so not really swappable like on other chromax fans.. Doesn’t include 4-Pin PWM splitter y-cable, low noise adapter (LNA), anti-vibration rubber mounts, or an actual PWM extension cable that the brown version includes AND is more expensive than the brown version. The chromax version is NOT just a black version of the beige/brown fan, it Is physically different and does not include the same accessories. You are probably better off saving your money and getting the standard brown version. However the fan itself is typical high quality Noctua, but for the price the standard Noctua accessories should be included. I took two stars off for that, and for switching to a tiny 1” PWM power cable.

> 24 hourIf you are compromised on space in your PC case or just like thinner fans these are probably the best you are going to get. Nice looking being black instead of Noctua’s usual brown schemes.

> 24 hourShown in photo is a LPN sticker which most likely means the item has been returned. Wires on the fan show signs of worn but besides that, the fan works fine. If I would’ve known I wasn’t gonna receive a brand new item I would have just saved a little of money to buy it used.

> 24 hourI dont think I need to add anything other than the title. These fans speak for themselves. I have used them in an NR200 build with the following specs.

> 24 hourVery quiet, and slim - the two exact reasons I bought this model. I was hoping to use the vibration pads for my other Noctua fans but they are specific to this model only so you cant share them with other lines of fans. Didnt come with the typical accessory connectors/splitters, but I knew that before purchase anyway.

> 24 hourWorks great!!! Added onto my chromax nhd15 after the ram didnt allow enough height for the second 14mm fan to fit in the case. The case was the cooler master td500 mesh white, Asus prime b550 motherboard and 2 sticks of 8 gig ballistic memory.

> 24 hourLove Noctua fans, dont like brown. So nice to finally have Chromax available in 15mm. Used this fan for a heatsink with very limited space and looks and performs amazing.
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.
