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

Used this to replace a noisy fan on a Behringer iNuke 3000. Fits perfect. Clip the plug off and use the red and black wires only. Cut the red/black wires for the stock fan and solder them to the red and black wires on the noctua. Your iNuke with be less than half as noisy.

Nice and quiet, but slightly louder than some equal air flow volume 80mm fans I bought from an electronics distributor nearly a decade ago. The geometry of the blades is nearly identical, but the older ones dont have the back side ridges. The body on the older fans is also smoother with gentle curves in the area of air flow and doesnt have the turbulators and stepped ridges the Noctua fan body has.

Love these guys, super quiet, ended up not being fast enough those for most 80mm application. Usually when I come across a 80mm its ether got to force air through a whole case (like in a server a NAS setting) or its used in the basement of a case (big area of empty space) this works better for the later because it will evacuate the hot air to a point, but its not going to do much to cool any components in there, more just like maintain the status quo. Thats to be expect though with a 80mm 2500 rpm fan. I will say it is so damn quiet at 2500 rpms. I use them in my gaming case to keep the harddrives from getting too hot. But its not fast enough for my nas build to cool off 8 drives. For that you need something that can force more air like 4000-5000rpm.

great silent fans. Got it to make my UNRAID Storage server a bit more quite. Before it sounds like a jet airplane. Now it just sounds like a car.

Excellent product

I had always read good things about Noctua products and from first glance, these fans lived up to the hype. The packaging is first-class, visually appealing but still easy to open and well laid out inside. The included extras included not only a 4-pin power adapter but also a lengthy extension cable and two rubber-wrapped noise isolation extender cables. Also included were both stainless steel screws and rubber mounting posts for additional noise reduction.

It runs extremely well and relatively silent! Although the price is higher than most 80 mm fans, its definitely worth the extra money! I highly recommend it! Also if youre using a mini-itx case, the fan might not fit where the stock 80 mm fan is so youll have to put it in a different location!

Good fan. Not as quiet as I would like it to be, but much more quiet than the old one I had.

I used this fan as an upgrade to the power supply fan on my Ender 3 Pro. I printed a new shell for it to house the significantly larger than stock fan and after the upgrade my PSU is almost completely silent and stays very cool. I also added a fan intake filter to protect the fan from any plastic debris from getting inside.

Was really expecting this to be much quieter.
