> 3 dayI bought these specifically to fit into my FD Meshify C. These fans fit perfectly underneath the front mesh. I needed 15mm thickness fans because I have an RX 6800 on the way that is 325mm (photo shown is my current 1660 Super) - The RX 6800 wont fit with a 25mm fan front mounted inside, and a 25mm fan wont fit under the mesh without cutting. So these 15mm fans do work perfectly for my use case.

> 3 dayVery effective fans that are easy to work with and near silent! I was very pleasantly surprised by how quiet these are because even when running on high speed its still quieter than any other computer Ive ever had. Worth your money!

Greater than one weekquiet overall, but it can easily be audible when it ramps up.

> 3 dayI personally have seen no differences from my current fans to these. My current fans are also Noctua so maybe that is part of the reason but the fans specifically replace my radiator fans on a Corsair AIO. Not difference is temps for me so maybe better suited for case fans? Still a great product and you can’t go wrong.

> 3 dayLove Noctua fans, dont like brown. So nice to finally have Chromax available in 15mm. Used this fan for a heatsink with very limited space and looks and performs amazing.

> 3 dayI have tried many, many fans in the past and they all fall short. I havent seen a better crafted fan than Noctuas. Yes we all want to save money, yes some of us love RGB but until and unless Noctua builds it you are wasting your money. These fans are sturdy, powerful, quiet and are worth every penny that you spend!

Greater than one weekWith all the hype and new PC build i thought i would take a stab at these and see if they are really all that good... So far they are quiet and seem to push a good amount of air out. I like the slim feature on these as i needed them for the top case fans and my GPU card takes up some room in my micro ATX build. worth the price!? Meh.... bought x2 and x2 140s for 100$! better last a looooong time..

Greater than one weekI 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.
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.
