> 3 dayReplaced a noisy Cooler Master fan that came with my HP computer with this one. What do I hear now? Absolutely nothing.

> 3 dayits so quiet its shocking not to hear any fan case noise when the PC is on, I thought it wasnt running but looked at the fans with a flashlight, and they spin, but are silent, good quality, really improves PC time with a quiet background

> 3 dayI 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.

> 3 dayGreat product. Ive a Cooler Master Stacker STC-01 and I replaced all fans with Noctuas. Package includes an extension cable, a cable to connect two fans in one cable (Y cable) and speed adapter to reduce max fan speed. I strongly recommend this product to everyone with good budget.

> 3 dayEste pequeño ventilador de 8cm es perfecto para esos gabinetes que lo requieren, nunca me habia tocado usar uno siempre los de 12 o 14cm pero esta vez para dos proyecto que usan un chassis mas pequeño me toco buscar este modelo y genial que sea PWM. Como siempre Noctua y sin mas que acotar cumple lo prometido, calidad, bajo ruido y simple de instalar.

24-11-2024Bought this to replace a noisy fan in my switching power supply, installed without a hitch and works great. Best of all....its quiet. Hard to talk on my amateur radio with a noisy fan in the background. I had bought one for a replacement on one of my radios a few months earlier and couldnt be more satisified.
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.
