> 24 hourIm using 2 of these fans in my front to pull cool air into the case and they are doing an excellent job keeping the airflow moving and the internal components (especially my GFX) cool. So far Im a new but HUGE fan of Noctua and believe they are the only company Ill be using for future cooling purchases. All of the recent fans (cpu cooler, 120mm, and 80mm) have been through Noctua for the efficiency of airflow and low noise they provided (none are using the provided low noise adapters as I havent seen the need to use them).

> 24 hourI do a lot of custom builds whether it’s small electronics, emulator boxes, 3-D, print builds, etc. this is the only brand fan company I will use. Rocksolid great cooling you don’t even hear them on.

> 24 hourMy old case fan was getting noisy so I decided to use this Noctua to replace it. I used the rubber pull-through mounts supplied with the fan. As well as I can tell, its nearly silent and the Gigabyte app that controls temperature and fans for my motherboard and CPU shows everything is staying cool.

> 24 hourSpent over 100 dollars in Noctua fans already. I put that stuff on everything... Simply the best, just buy them. They are an ugly shade of brown? When you plug them in you will understand and completely ignore this fact, I guarantee it.

The NF-A8 is a highly optimised, premium quality quiet 80mm fan. Featuring Noctua’s AAO (Advanced Acoustic Optimisation) frame as well as sophisticated aerodynamic design measures such as Flow Acceleration Channels, the NF-A8 further improves the renowned quiet cooling performance of the award-winning NF-R8. The PWM version sports Noctua’s custom designed NE-FD1 IC for fully automatic speed control via 4-pin fan headers and comes with a Low-Noise-Adaptor to reduce the maximum speed during PWM control from 2200 to 1750rpm. Its superb running smoothness, reference-class SSO2 bearing and Noctua’s trusted premium quality make it an elite choice for the highest demands.
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.

|---|---|---|---|
Flow Acceleration ChannelsThe NF-A8 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. |
SSO2 bearingThe NF-A8 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. |
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. |
Scope of delivery
|
Inner Surface Microstructures
With the tips of the fan blades ploughing through the boundary layer created by the Inner Surface Microstructures, flow separation from the suction side of the blades is significantly suppressed, which results in reduced blade passing noise and improved airflow and pressure efficiency.
