Noctua NF-A8 ULN, Ultra Quiet Silent Fan, 3-Pin (80mm, Brown)

These are very nice case fans. They have soft rubber sound isolation on four corners and include extra cable fittings for several connection options. Included in the packaging are attachment screws and rubber grommet fasteners.

Its a Noctua fan what do you expect? Its great

I 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.

Quiet and powerful. A little too thick to replace the 80mm fan in my Cooler Master 130 Elite unless I take out the metal plate and just leave it without securing with the screws provided. However it is thick enough that theres no need for that at all.

I just replaced my included Antec case fans with this these after 5 years. I guess I was used to the humming that the old fans would emit. But it was quiet to the point of being a little eerie after installing these. They literally are giving off none, no, zip, audible noise.

Love the fan. Super silent. Nice array of additional parts included with the fan as well.

For a long time, I used nothing but Panaflo fans. Most sleeve bearing fans, even some supposedly fancy ones, lockup after a year or two. Ball bearing fans *can* last longer (though some dont), but they tend to be noisy unless they are super-low RPM (I have a few Sunon fans that have been going for well over a decade). Panaflo fans are both quiet like a sleeve fan (because they are) and yet they seem to run forever. I have yet to have one fail even though some have been running continuously for a decade or more. However, the supply of those has pretty much dried up.

I was hoping for better air flow, but thats my own fault for overestimating the specs. Build wise the drive is very solid, still, and extremely quiet. Great fan.. Cant really attest to its supposed better static pressure as it doesnt put out much air flow. Works great for what it is, i just need more.

Love this fan. Cant believe how quiet it is, but fan screws absolutely rip this thing up when you are screwing them in. Make sure you have compressed air around for when you are finished. Its actually super annoying so I had to subtract 2 stars. Im not a fan of the screwless mounts, so for me this was a big deal. If you like those things, then you will love this fan. Its operating much quieter and much more efficient than the 120mm Corsair stock (plastic, cheap, clear) fan on the back of my case.

Bought two of these to replace a competitor’s fans I use for cooling of an A/V cabinet. Those fans were, in turn, replacements for some older ones that had burnt out after fifteen years. Anyway . . .
