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

Ive used Noctua before so when I needed to add an exhaust fan to my Lian Li Lancool II Mesh case, this was the preferred option. I wanted something long-lasting and quiet that could move any warm air out of the case. So far so good. The only problem I had was with an Amazon retailer. When I first ordered the fan, I got a message that it was on back order with a date a few weeks out, no big deal. I waited and waited without any other message so I ordered it again this time through Amazon from Noctua in Austria. I ended up getting both fans at the same time. So, be patient. These are apparently popular fans.

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.

Great product

I am using this as an exhaust fan for my case, hooked up with the 4 pin connector to the motherboard fan header. It is working correctly and not obstructed.

Its hard to go wrong with Noctua. I bought a Power Color Red Devil 6800 XT and I knew I wouldnt be able to fit an intake fan on the front of the case because it takes up so much space. Temps got a little high so I bought a thin fan to see if it would fit. This little guy has kept my system so much cooler than before, Im impressed at how much air these thin blades can pump underneath by GPU fans. So just in case you were wondering, this fan fits with a Red Devil 6800 XT in a Meshify C case.

Excellent fan that is extremely quiet, even when maxed out.

I wish Noctua fans werent quite so expensive, but they work well and are extremely quiet.

Ive been waiting a while for these, glad they finally came out! I have a raijintek morpheus ii heatsink on my vertically mounted GPU, so it takes up 4 slots with regular case fans. I really wanted something slimmer to allow more space between my GPU and glass. Well these are perfect. Theyre slim, look good, move a good bit of air, and are inaudible at about half speed. Theyre absolutely perfect when paired with Phanteks digital rgb plates.

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.

quiet overall, but it can easily be audible when it ramps up.
