> 3 dayWorks EXACTLY like youd intend it to, except quieter. Would greatly recommend this standard.

> 3 dayNoctua fans are known for their quality, and this fan is no different! Not only does it move a lot of air, it does so quietly. Not quiet enough for you? It also comes with 2 low (and lower) noise adapters that slow down the speed of the fan to make them as whisper quiet as youd like. I used them in a 3d print build I did for a headphone stack and it worked out wonderfully and keeps things cool AND does so in near silence. Recommended

> 3 dayExcellent thin bodied fan. Fit perfectly between my radiator and case in my phanteks enthoo evolv case. With no official way of fastening these, I utilized zip ties and it’s working great. I have 2 of these pulling while 2 other fans are pushing through the radiator.

> 3 dayOnly used one of them briefly. Mainly purchased to cover installation contingencies with fitment of my custom radiator cooling kit. Doesnt push as much air as my Noctua NFF-12 standard fans.

> 3 dayThis fan was purchased as a replacement for a computer chassis fan. It is vastly better than the original fans. Now Im considering replacing the other fans just to make everything quieter and more robust.

> 3 dayI made the mistake of not getting these in PWM. So I’m stuck to manually changing out the connection cables to tune the fan speed. These fans come with 3 types of cables that correspond to the speed you want to run them at. It was my mistake for getting these as I wanted fan speed to be handled by my mono.

Featuring advanced aerodynamic design measures such as Flow Acceleration Channels and Noctua’s AAO frame, the NF-A12x15 is a highly optimised, premium quality quiet fan in size 120x15mm. Its 15mm slim design makes the NF-A12x15 ideal for space-restricted applications such as low-profile CPU coolers or HTPC cases. The FLX version provides 1850/1400/950rpm speed settings via the supplied Low-Noise Adaptors in order to allow full flexibility in fine-tuning the fan for maximum ventilation performance or 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
Metal-reinforced motor hub
With many larger-diameter slim fan designs, the shorter axis and bearing lead to a reduced running stability and lifespan. The NF-A12x15 uses a metal-reinforced motor hub, a measure typically found in high-speed industrial fans, in order to ensure Noctua’s signature stability and longevity.

|---|---|---|---|
Flow Acceleration ChannelsThe NF-A12x15 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-A12x15 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 mounting systems and fan clips used on heatsinks. |
Scope of delivery
|
15mm slim design
Having a thickness of only 15mm, the NF-A12x15 is much slimmer than standard 120x25mm fans. This makes it ideal for typical slim fan applications such as low-profile CPU coolers as well as for freeing up space by replacing standard 120x25mm fans on tower coolers, radiators or in PC cases.
