    It runs silent and cool. Does the job really well.

    Great fan real quite beats the stock fans engine turbines and its not even running hot and so loud. Glad I bought this I can enjoy my streaming.

    My 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.

    For such a small fan, it really is awesome. The amount of love and care in these fans is apparent -- they just work and they do it quietly. The included adapter to lower the RPM even more is an awesome perk. That said, these colors are so terrible.

    I bought two of these to replace the cheap fans in my rackmount case. Not only are these Noctua fans well engineered and designed they are dead quiet. I used the rubber mounting grommets that are shipped as an install option in lieu of the metal screws. This really helps reduce any vibration noise on the case. Noctua products are simply hard to beat.

    As usual Noctuas quality doesnt disappoint. Most 80mm are just simply too weak. The NF-A8 moves air similar to a 120mm fan and its probably because of the max 2200 rpm speed, but its quiet at high speeds!

    Does not move much air. Ref re getting the purchase!

    This is a really great fan. Its hard to find a quality fan at 80mm. At this size, the fan either pumps a good amount of air but is loud, or is quiet, but ineffective.

    Ive used these for decades and they simply work, every time, in silence.

    Ahhh, quiet. Replaced the stock fans on my radio & power supply and no more background fan noise.

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.
