> 24 hourIts hard to go wrong with Noctua. I bought a Power Color Red Devil 6800 XT and I knew I wouldnt be able to fit an intake fan on the front of the case because it takes up so much space. Temps got a little high so I bought a thin fan to see if it would fit. This little guy has kept my system so much cooler than before, Im impressed at how much air these thin blades can pump underneath by GPU fans. So just in case you were wondering, this fan fits with a Red Devil 6800 XT in a Meshify C case.

> 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 hournoctua makes great products. this slim version of the 120mm fan is ultra quiet and is unrivaled in cooling performance compared to fans of similar type. A favorite among the sff community and great when traditional fans take up too much case real estate.

> 24 hourFantastic quality you expect from Noctua. That said knocking off a star in quality for the bearing on the front face being visible. Noctua continues to put function over form, even in a product where they are going for a better aesthetic.

> 24 hourThese are some really fantastic (pun very intended) little fans. Their tone, and volume, output are all quite acceptable. They will get a little on the higher pitched side at full speed directly next to a mesh air panel, but at most operating speeds it barely makes any noticeable noise. They provide a lot of air movement, and certainly have enough static pressure output for being used on radiators. The all black aesthetic is great, took Noctua long enough!

> 24 hourBought the slim strictly off the reputation of Noctua and Ive got to say. This thing is built solidly, its quiet, and pushes some air. However I gave it 3 stars because I bought the Cadillac of fans, and it didnt even come with screws. I had to use some old stripped fan screws to put it into my case to keep my cpu from overheating. If this was a cheap fan I wouldnt have deducted from the rating but my expectations were higher.
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.
