> 24 hourI forgot I had these. Seriously... They were so quiet I forgot I bought these/they existed at all. It moves a ton of air and couldnt be happier! :D

> 24 hourVery Quiet, perfect fit. For a system that isnt seen the color doesnt matter. Best fans on the market.

I buy too much
> 24 hourThese fans may not be the cheapest, but they are extremely quiet and have a reputation for reliability. Comes with an array of cables and some rubber mounting pegs.

> 24 hourwould not run at POST and boot up until computer called for high fan speed. BIOS fan test failed. Fan test expected speed of 2600RPM; actual results of 4 test reported 1000RPM each test.

> 24 hourI have used many Noctua Fans over the years. vv I have had a a number in service (80mm and 120mm) ~ 10 years 24/7/365 with NO failures.

> 24 hourPurchased Noctua NF-A8 PWM fan for multiple electronics upgrades. As with all Noctua fans, the NF-A8 is quiet and super efficient. Made with high-quality materials, the NF-A8 is perfect for any cooling application. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!!!

> 24 hourOn a motherboard with good automatic speed control, this fan is nearly completely silent in normal operation.
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.
