Greater than one weekFirst one had some bearing issues and excessive noise. The replacement was perfect and it runs quiet and flawlessly.

> 3 dayThese fans work great and move a lot of air in my SFF NR200 case, theyre slim enough to allow you to use a larger CPU air cooler and a larger 2.5-3 slot GPU.

Greater than one weekFantastic quality you expect from Noctua. That said knocking off a star in quality for the bearing on the front face being visible. Noctua continues to put function over form, even in a product where they are going for a better aesthetic.

> 3 dayNoctua stuff is always a little pricey but I’ve never had any problems with any of their products. I put these in at the bottom of a ncase m1 to help cool the evga 3070 xc3 (2.2 slot card) and it dropped the temps by 5c-10c. Run super quiet. cooler GPU helps the CPU temps a bit too. (10700 set to 125w max sustained, cooled by noctua nhu9s)

> 3 dayBought 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.

> 3 dayI have had both this and the normal color version. Theyre the same. However, this version lacks all cable accessories (yet is sold for the same price), but adds rubber fits of different colors you can tape instead (cool but useless in my mind, and definitely not the same value as the cables).

> 3 dayUsed it on my cpu cooler. Didnt have much room between the first ram and the cooler so I went with the low profile. I like the look of it and it keeps temps pretty cool. I recommend it.

> 3 dayI 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.

> 3 daythis is not an option if ur looking for something quite ......not even close to the 23.9 db/a that noctura brag about......at only 1300 to 1500 rpm... its 3 times as loud as cooler master a12025-12cb-3jn-f1, that i found from an old build that is 8 YEARS OLD...I refuse to believe that this is a one off... but ill order another one just to prove these claims of 23.9db are super false. Noctura you should be ashamed of yourself!
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.
