> 3 dayI needed slim 120mm fans for a tight spot and it being for a radiator I was a little skeptical of the performance but they work damn good. I’m quite impressed with the flow it’s capable of while still being very quiet. It’s a great quality fan with great performance and I highly recommend these.

> 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 dayInstalled in seconds, works great right from the start, using as exhaust fan, no noise, excellent for my new desktop.

> 3 dayI personally have seen no differences from my current fans to these. My current fans are also Noctua so maybe that is part of the reason but the fans specifically replace my radiator fans on a Corsair AIO. Not difference is temps for me so maybe better suited for case fans? Still a great product and you can’t go wrong.

Greater than one weekI bought these specifically to fit into my FD Meshify C. These fans fit perfectly underneath the front mesh. I needed 15mm thickness fans because I have an RX 6800 on the way that is 325mm (photo shown is my current 1660 Super) - The RX 6800 wont fit with a 25mm fan front mounted inside, and a 25mm fan wont fit under the mesh without cutting. So these 15mm fans do work perfectly for my use case.

> 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 dayThese fans are the perfect fit for my liquid cooled build in the Formd T1, the short pigtail for the power really came in handy when it comes to cable management.

Greater than one weekBought 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.

> 3 dayVery 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.
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.
