> 24 hourIm using this as a top fan. My case has very limited clearance for the top fan due to the heat sink (~17mm), so it fits just right for my needs. No issues with fan speed and noise so far.

> 24 hourfans are thin and feel high quality freeing up space in my case

> 24 hourthis would be a great slim fan but for some crazy reason they give you a 1 inch cable to 4 pin connection that will 100% be in the way for a tight build....i have never ever seen a fan that has a 1 inch cable EVER...WHAT WERE THEY THINKING! anyways cant use the fan and i am returning it.....if they would just use a regular cable like every other fan (like every other fan they make them damn selfs) it would be a great product but NOPE

> 24 hourI dont think I need to add anything other than the title. These fans speak for themselves. I have used them in an NR200 build with the following specs.

> 24 hourNoctua always has quality products. You can see from the picture above that it is definitely a brand I stand behind and I have had to unfortunately replace some lesser quality parts in this build for much higher quality, albeit admittedly more expensive, noctua ones.

> 24 hourPerfect fit for my build. I did need a thinner fan to fit on my enormus CPU cooler and a normal 25mm was getting in the way of the RAM stick cooling fins. This was perfect.

> 24 hourI bought a Noctua NH-D15S for my ITX and the stock fans were in the way. These new fans worked perfectly! Definitely recommend for tight clearances in your case!

> 24 hourI realize these arent necessarily designed for radiators, but the lack of including screws that can go through the fan casing, and into a radiator is pretty frustrating at the price point. Spend 20+ minutes trying to cut screws I already had, but then they wouldnt thread properly on the rad.

> 24 hourHighly recommend any noctua fan. I’ve bought many, and they’re all amazing.

> 24 hourI got this fan as a second AIO fan since a Corsair fan wouldnt fit above my tall RAM. I never hear the fan, even when gaming for long periods. My temps are all normal. And this looks good in the case so a win all around.
Having received dozens of awards and recommendations from international hardware websites and magazines, the NF-A12x15 has established itself as a default choice when it comes to premium-quality slim 120mm fans. The chromax.black.swap edition combines the NF-A12x15’s signature quiet cooling performance with an attractive all-black design and a bundle of self-adhesive red, white, blue, green, yellow and black anti-vibration pads that allow the colour-customisation of the fan to match individual build colour schemes. Topped off with Noctua’s trusted premium-grade SSO2 bearing and more than 150,000 hours MTTF, the NF-12x15 PWM chromax.black.swap is the perfect choice for all users who value individual, focused build aesthetics just as much as class-leading quality and performance.
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.

Self-adhesive anti-vibration pads in 6 coloursThe NF-A12x15 PWM chromax.black.swap comes with 8 swappable, self-adhesive anti-vibration pads in black, white, red, blue, green and yellow respectively, which allow the fan to be fully colour-customised in order to coordinate it with other components or popular build schemes. |
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. |
Metal-reinforced motor hubWith 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. |
Optional coloured cablesNoctua’s chromax line fans use a modular cabling system and come pre-fitted with a fully sleeved black NA-EC1 30cm cable. For refined colour coordination, white, red, blue, green and yellow 30cm NA-EC1 cables plus corresponding NA-YC1 y-cables are available separately. |
Maximising colour choices, the NF-A12x15 chromax.black.swap fan can be colour-customised using the included self-adhesive anti-vibration pads as well as optional coloured cables. This makes it ideal for enthusiasts looking for a true premium-grade fan that can be colour-coordinated with popular build themes such as all black, black & white or black & red.
