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

No issues used it to replace a fan on my pop can refrigerator.

I bought 2 of these fans to upgrade the stock fan in 2 Kenwood TS-2000 ham radios. It is thicker than the stock fan but there is plenty of clearance. The stock screws can be used in the rear of the mounting holes as they are not long enough to go through the whole fan. I may hunt down some long 2 mm screws someday to complete the installation but it works great as it is. The fan is much quieter than the stock fan and moves a lot more air - a lot more. You have to put your ear right up to the radio to hear the fan. This is great for cross band repeating, Kenwood Sky Command, or digital modes like PSK31 or JT65 that create a lot of heat. If you like it quiet you can even do this if you arent running any of these modes. Keeping the heat down keeps the finals alive! . This is a high quality fan and it comes with lots of adapters if you are going to use it in a PC. The fan in the TS-2000 is ground switched so if you put a 1 watt, 100 ohm resistor between the fan ground and chassis ground the fan will run at low speed all the time and switch to high speed when the relay closes. It is an ideal fix.

i put this inside of an equipment case

Used on Synology and it makes a noticeable difference.

Very nice little fan. Excellent warranty (150,000 hour mean time to failure), plus you can adjust maximum fan speed and performance by included resistors.

Very efficient and quite.

Every noctua fan has been amazing

Perfect! Highly recommend! Very quiet

Excellent little fan. I use it to keep my 10 meter radio running cool. It works perfectly and the noise level is not an issue whatsoever while Im talking on the radio.

For the money one of the best fans I have installed. Very quiet. Only complaint I have is I needed longer screws as this was not a replacement but a additional fan. They give you adapter, and extension cables as well as a molex Power adapter cable.
