Noctua NF-A8 FLX, Premium Quiet Fan, 3-Pin (80mm, Brown)

These are the best cooling fans on the market for pro amp cooling.

Premium

Lots of engineering, documentation went into this fan and the support is just as good.

They may cost a few bucks more but these oddly colored gems are super quiet and move a large amount of air.

Its a Noctua, so you know it will be a quiet, solid performer. And this one lives up to their reputation. Worked perfectly as a replacement for a stock cooling fan in an audio amplifier. Everything about this fan says quality, and I am continually impressed by just how superior the Noctuas performance is, over what can look like nearly-identical fans. They move more air, with much less noise, than any other fan on the market. And I have found this to be the case with ANY fan that Noctua makes - they are a superior company making a superior product. Worth the premium!

Used on Synology and it makes a noticeable difference.

The fan really is a premium fan. It really is quiet with rubber cushions. I will always use this as a upgrade from now on.

very quiet and a great price

I am using these to cool the power amp for my home stereo. At 24V they are too loud for this application and they are almost quiet enough at 12V. They stop rotating at about 8V. I resorted to building a proportional controller that sets the fan speed by temperature. The total solution is quiet enough.

Too noisy
