> 24 hourBought two of these for intakes inside a CM NR200 case. Very tight space in the bottom with a hefty GPU (Evga 3070 Ftw3) only enough space for slim fans. Quiet at low speeds which is how I run them. It is assisting the gpu to stay cool at sub 50c even while overcloked inside this small case.

> 24 hourWhat can I say same Noctua fans we all know but thinner and same performance! Using them to feed air to GPU from bottom on a Lian-Li T150 keeps gpu idle at 38 no noise what so ever and while gaming and benches, combining fan curves wont go past 65c, again dead Silent.

> 24 hourI use two of these with my Corsair radiator to help provide clearance over the RAM chips which allows me to mount my radiator on top using push exhaust instead of a front mounted pull setup. I run these at 100% non stop and last a couple of years, theyre quiet what more could you ask for?

> 24 hourThe fans are slim but have enough power for air cooling or mount on an AIO. Just keep in mind the you’ll need screws of a different height to mount on an AIO, as most standard ones are meant for traditional fans. Only minor complaint is if you’re not careful with the rubber pad application, they can easily come off, but there are plenty in the box for second chances.

> 24 hourBought to fit on the front of a D15S. This fan fit perfectly - to not get in the way of the GPU radiator that is top mounted and not touch the rgb ram in a mid-tower case. Black Chromax version matches with the cooler nicely. If you need a fan that fits in tight spaces this may work for you.

> 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 hourPerfect for any SFF PC build. The connector is a bit odd though how it is really short with thin wires and then immediately has a nicer sleeved extension attached. In any case great fans just wish there wasnt a $6 premium for going with the chromax version but hey it looks great so who cares.

> 24 hourWorks great in the base for an NR200P Max to expel that hot air from the GPU.
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.
