Noctua NF-A12x15 PWM chromax.Black.swap, Premium Quiet Slim Fan, 4-Pin (120x15mm, Black)

noctua makes great products. this slim version of the 120mm fan is ultra quiet and is unrivaled in cooling performance compared to fans of similar type. A favorite among the sff community and great when traditional fans take up too much case real estate.

After being on the fence about buying these fans I am glad I bought them. Absolutely worth every cent. Definitely quiet and they move a ton of air. Im sticking with this brand for all of my builds.

You care about performance and metrics like static pressure and CFM? You want wicked performance but also value sound? You want all this plus you still want everything to look amazing and match the rest of your system? One problem, you have a super small case or a very small place for a fan. Look no further. Noctua with their Chromax 15mm slim fan has you covered. This fan doesn’t sacrifice one or the other. It has amazing air pressure as well as static pressure. Therefore it can be used on a heatsink or as a case fan. What about looks? It’s jet black and comes with 6(iirc) different color options for the rubber corner pieces. Black, white, green, blue, red, and yellow. What’s the deal here? You get a fan that looks better than most fans, has customization options, is more silent than most fans, out performs most fans, has the ability to be connected to a Noctua L.N.A. to make it further silent, and all while being a 15mm slim fan so it’s much smaller than a standard 25mm fan. It looks great, is silent, has some of the best performance out there, and will fit literally anywhere a 120mm fan will go. Congratulations, you’ve found the best slim fan on the market in all aspects. Pat yourself on the back, your search is over. One final thing of note. The description says the fan comes with 8 black pieces and 4 of each color. That is not correct. It comes with 8 of every single color so you can do the entire fan on both sides in any color you like. I choose blue and paired it with the 140mm fan and the Noctua NH-D15S CPU cooler.

Noctua fans have yet to disappoint

The install was super simple and the fan has been working well for more than 2 months. My computer defaulted to running it on high all the time so I did have to adjust the settings to operate it at a more reasonable level. Once I did that it is easy to forget it is even there.

Great product

I 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.

I love this fan, they keep my PC cool and its perfect for small form factor pcs

I realize these arent necessarily designed for radiators, but the lack of including screws that can go through the fan casing, and into a radiator is pretty frustrating at the price point. Spend 20+ minutes trying to cut screws I already had, but then they wouldnt thread properly on the rad.

Very effective fans that are easy to work with and near silent! I was very pleasantly surprised by how quiet these are because even when running on high speed its still quieter than any other computer Ive ever had. Worth your money!
