> 3 dayI put this on my evo 212 cpu cooler (on an i9 not overclocked). So much quieter! running folding at home while working now and it is at 100% ran speed of 1,236 RPM and about 1/10 as loud. .

> 3 dayIt is incredibly quiet. Keeps my cpu rather cool. Looks elegant and stands out in my case from all my other hardware. It makes me wish I had hardware that could match its aesthetic.

> 3 dayIt is difficult to tighten the screws by hand, an electric screwdriver is necessary. In addition, I am very satisfied with the noise and air volume.

Greater than one weekGreat fan! Needed a 140mm fan with 120mm mounts and this was perfect. Great air movement and super quiet. Color sucks, but put a little effort in and you can paint the frame, pictures included. I would not suggest painting the fan blades as that may throw their balance off. The top/bottom of them is flat which works perfect for sitting over my HyperX RAM while theyre on my Noctua NH-D15.

> 3 dayThese fans are fantastic. I got them to match the one that came on my D15S since I was so pleased with it. I believe these ones are a tad different in max RPM than the one that come on the cooler but are otherwise the same. I now have 5 in the case and am extremely happy with their ability to gently move air through the case while being extremely quiet. I have them all PWM controlled so 90% of the time I cant even hear them. They also come with Y split cables as well.

> 3 dayWhat can I say except that it is quiet and Im willing to pay for silence. I built a new desktop computer and researched the quietest cases, CPU coolers etc and then changed some of the fans to these. I cant hear it. I love the silence. The motherboard PWM controller works with these fans perfectly.

> 3 dayI ordered two of these fans. They are very quiet, and do what they say they will do in that regard. However, beware of not getting everything you paid for in the form of accessories. In one box, it came with the fan, screws, anti-vibration pins, and all the adapters as advertised by the seller. Unfortunately, in the other box, it simply had the fan and the screws, and that was it. The box was completely empty besides those two things. It did not even have the instruction manual in it for crying out loud.
The NF-A15 is a premium quality quiet 140mm fan with a round frame that complies with Noctua’s AAO (Advanced Acoustic Optimisation) standard. The NF-A15’s frame features 120mm mounting holes (105mm spacing) and has been enlarged to 150mm width in order to provide superior performance on today’s high-end CPU coolers. Featuring sophisticated aerodynamic design measures such as Flow Acceleration Channels, the NF-A15 further improves the renowned quiet cooling performance of the award-winning NF-P14. Noctua’s custom designed PWM IC for fully automatic speed control and reference class SSO2 bearings ensure superb running smoothness and excellent long-term stability. Topped off with modular cabling and a Low-Noise Adaptor, the NF-A15 is a premium choice for the highest demands.
Round 140mm frame with 150mm width
The 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.

Integrated anti-vibration padsIntegrated anti-vibration pads made from extra-soft silicone minimise the transmission of minute vibrations while maintaining full compatibility with all standard screws and other mounting systems. |
SSO2 bearingThe NF-A15 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. |
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. |

AAO frame
Noctua"s AAO (Advanced Acoustic Optimisation) frames feature integrated anti-vibration pads as well as Noctua"s proprietary Stepped Inlet Design and Inner Surface Microstructures, both of which further refine the fan"s performance/noise efficiency.
