Noctua NF-A20 PWM chromax.Black.swap, Premium Quiet Fan, 4-Pin (200x30mm, Black)

This review is for the Noctua NF-A20 PWM chromax.Black.swap, Premium Quiet Fan

This absolute bohemith of a fan works quietly, but pushes an astronomical amount of air through. The build quality is amazing (as expected) since its a Noctua product. I expect this bad boy to run for a long time, currently using it on one of my servers.

Ordered this fan to replace the 200mm front panel fans on my lian li 215 case. They would fit if they came with 35mm screws, however Noctua felt that was not necessary. All standard long fan screws are 30mm, this fan is 30mm thick. Its really cheap to not include 20 cents worth of screws with a $36 fan, very disappointed with Noctua right now. Best I can tell a M3x35mm screw is what you need, guess I am going to home depot to find screws now.

I purchase a lot of Noctua fans for building high-end computers, so wanted to try these out. On the plus side, they are silent and come with the necessary black sound/vibration pads. On the minus side, they move a bit less air than I had expected (perhaps I am just too used to the industrial line) and the price is a bit too high. There are cases where this would be great and I can say that these are better quality than many fans of a similar size. Buy these if you need a fan of this size, but note that a couple Noctua industrial 140 fans will move more air if that is what you are looking for.

havent install it but it looks pretty good.

Good job Noctua.

As most case fan, 3d printer, pc builders, ect... enthusiast know, Noctua makes absolutely incredible fans. I can confirm that, they do in fact make INCREDIBLE fans.

For my 1st custom build (of which there are more to come), going big on Noctua was the right decision.

Only quality product. Likenit was designed by engineers

Not amazed by the build style of these fans. Way too much plastic around the 5 different mounting holes. There is a super short cable lead from the fan, immediately to an extension connector - which means the connector is super close to the fan and the case which doesnt allow you to fit in any tight spaces. Too much versatility made this fan not functional for the case Im using - Cooler Master HAF X case - which they do not fit on the top (where you can mount two 200mm fans).
