    My choice of computer fans from now on.

    Whisper quiet.

    A bit more expensive than most fans of the same size, but they are rather quiet and will move air effectively. I have a pair in the back of a rack-mount computer case and it does the job well, quietly.

    Extremely quiet...I wish I would have purchased this 2 years ago to replace my coolmaster CPU fan.....strongly recommend

    I have a desktop mini fridge that had a 12v fan in it that was obnoxiously loud. So I swapped it with this one, which required splicing and soldering. This works great, its completely silent now, and still cools just as well. Love it!

    good little fan, for the amount of air it pushes I never would have guessed it was only 80mm. Its a really good fan that sits on the outside of my case and is near silent. In fact at 80% power I hear my quiet GPU fans over this fan. Very impressed. I have this installed in mini iTX setup, so noise is very apparent and this fan does not make any

    Yes, it is a tiny beast. Installed on a side panel directly above my Ryzen 1600 and it dropped 5 degrees while idle and 8 under load using the Wraith Spire. Mostly quiet operation. Construction feels solid.

NF-A8 PWM headerNF-A8 PWM header

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 Channels

The 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 bearing

The 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 pads

Integrated 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

  • Low-Noise Adaptor (L.N.A)
  • NA-YC1 4-pin PWM y-cable
  • NA-EC1 30cm extension cable
  • 4x NA-AV1 anti-vibration mounts
  • Fan screws

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.
