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

Its Noctua. Its not the cheapest out there (by far), but if youre already looking at it, and youre here reading the reviews, its cause you know what Noctua brings to the table.

Very quiet, keeps my 240 radiator and intake going great.

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.

black and quite

If all you care about is fan performance, it is very good and you can trust you are buying a good product.

This tiny dinky little fan is 4 & 3/4 inches by 4 & 3/4 inches. The wire has an unusual shape on the end with no way to plug it into the wall without me having to buy some kind of special adapter for it. The wire itself is only 11 & 1/2 inches long so you obviously need an extension chord to make it reach to an outlet to plug in after you get an adapter. I dont even know if an adapter exists that matches the end of the wire to get it to plug into the wall. Cheap dinky tiny little fan. If it works its worth only about $5.00 and thats IT! I tried to return it but missed the cut off date for returns!

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

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.

I 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?

Ill be returning these, not because theyre bad (theyre amazing!), but because I found out (after some research on Noctuas website) that these should only be used if you dont have the clearance for the 25mm thick fan. Ill be getting the NF-S12A instead.
