Greater than one weekI used this fan in my Tripp Lite rack mount UPS, since the fan in the unit runs 24x7. It did make the unit quieter, but not by much of a margin. Im thinking about doing something more complicated and measuring the heat on components directly, then enabling the fan until they cool down.

Greater than one weekI bought Two of these for my new build. I purchased these ULN fans when i should have bought PWM. My mistake! I had them installed and both were working fine, however, within two weeks, one began to show signs of failure. Two days later, it failed. I returned it and ordered two of the PWM fans instead.

> 3 dayReplaced the noisy humming fan in an inexpensive HTPC case with this fan. Used the adapter to reduce fan speed to 1100.. The anti vibration mounts eliminate any issues with noise being transferred to the case. This may be the best 15.99 I ever spent. That may seem like a lot, but eliminating the noise that came from the other fan made my ears happy. No change in before and after temps as measured by RealTemp. Noctura will be my go to in the future when I need any type of computer fan.
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 ULN version provides super-slow 1400/1100rpm speed settings for ultra-low-noise applications and highly noise sensitive users who demand near-silent operation. 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.
