> 3 dayIt is a bit slower than the stock fan, but it makes cooler look so much cooler.

Greater than one weekTook a $90 cooler and made it $150, but kind of worth it, since that brown is hideous. I put two fans on that cooler and get decent thermals for a hot room upstairs. I have it in a push-through config. Where the the intake is one one side and the exhaust is on the other side in line with the airflow of my case. Barely cracking 50C running Cinebench or any other benchmarking test for that matter since I paired it with a giant case as well. They work great, dont really push a lot of air. I have all noctua fans where I can (save GPU and PSU, didnt have control over those fans). And while its really quiet at full blast, its barely pushing 3MPH of wind. My 140mm Industrial is pushing nearly 6MPH and both are technically the same size. Didnt know giong from 2600RPM to 3000RPM was a drastic change like that. OTHER than that it was pretty easy to install. The clips can be finicky, but are secure when on. Helps go with the blackout theme I was going for with this case, even though the heat sink is still very much silver, and theres silver on the Zenith II Extreme Alpha, so its not a total blackout, but good enough. As long as it works and keeps tems down, thats all I care about. And it does do that, well.

> 3 dayNothing to say about Noctua.. i bought this to upgrade my Cryorig h5 stock fan which is decent and quite, but noctua do the job far better. same Idle temps at half rpm, 50% more air flow at average speed. (146 CFM vs 76 CFM ). The colours pad seal the deal for any build. i ll definitely buy again from NOCTUA.

> 3 daySame exact fan as the chromax nf-a14. I have an o-11 air mini and the side vents are 120mm compatible only(unless I use these). Benefit now I have full control of all my exhaust fans via fan splitter 2 nf-a14 and 2 nf-a15. Great airflow at low rpms. I have some ippc 3000 nf-a14’s they are considerably louder at 1500rpm then the chromax nf’s. The plug directly on the fan can be a lil problematic gets in the way if youre not paying attention or have poor visibility. If a 140mm fan looks like would fit but you only have mounting for 120mm then this is it.
Having received more than 100 awards and recommendations from international hardware websites and magazines, the NF-A15 is one of Noctua’s most renowned and popular 140mm fans. Its 150mm wide round framewith 120mm standard mounting holes (105mm hole spacing) makes it ideal for use on CPU coolers such as the popular NH-D15, NH-D15S or NH-U14S. The chromax.black.swap edition combines the NF-A15’s signature quiet cooling performance with an attractive all-black design and a bundle of swappable red, white, blue, green, yellow and black anti-vibration pads that allow the colour-customisation of the fan to match individual build colour schemes. For further customisation, a wide range of accessories such as coloured cables and anti-vibration mounts are available separately. Topped off with Noctua’s trusted premium grade SSO2 bearing and more than 150,000 hours MTTF, the NF-A15 HS-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.

Swappable anti-vibration pads in 6 coloursThe NF-A15 HS-PWM chromax.black.swap comes with 8 black, white, red, blue, green and yellow anti-vibration pads respectively, which allows the fan to be fully colour-customised in order to coordinate it with other components or popular build schemes. |
SSO2 bearingThe chromax line fans feature 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. |
Flow Acceleration ChannelsThe NF-A15 impeller features suction side Flow Acceleration Channels. By speeding up the airflow at the crucial outer blade regions, this measure reduces suction side flow separation and thus leads to better efficiency and lower vortex noise. |
Round 140mm frame with 150mm widthThe NF-A15 is tailor-made for use on today"s high-end CPU coolers: While its 150mm width matches those of most high-end heatsinks, its 140mm height doesn"t make it extend on top and thus ensures best case compatibility. The NF-A15"s standard 120mm mounting holes (105mm spacing) also make it an ideal performance upgrade for 120mm case or CPU fans. |
Maximising colour choices, Noctua’s chromax.black.swap edition fans can be colour-customised using the included swappable anti-vibration pads as well as optional anti-vibration mounts and cables. This makes them ideal for enthusiasts looking for true premium-grade fans that can be colour-coordinated with popular build themes such as all black, black & white or black & red.
