    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. Check out the beauty in the pictures.

    Very 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.

    Using as an exhaust where a 25mm fan wouldnt fit. Its quiet and pulls enough air that the temps dropped a couple of Cs in a open loop build.

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

    This fan provides all of the usual perks of Noctua without the awful, ugly brown color they seem to like so much. Their product packaging is incredibly nice for such simple devices, and they also include a cable that will run the fan at minimal speed (for when you cant connect directly to the motherboard, thus enabling auto fan control).

    Quiet, moves a lot of air, customizable to fit a color theme, and was able to fit in my case that a standard 120mm fan couldnt.

    These 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.

    I bought a Noctua NH-D15S for my ITX and the stock fans were in the way. These new fans worked perfectly! Definitely recommend for tight clearances in your case!

    Works 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.

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 colours

The 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 bearing

The 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 hub

With 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 cables

Noctua’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.
