> 3 dayI started with Noctua on my CPU cooling and was so impressed with the quality that I started using them for case fans. Sure theyre more expensive than most fans, but I also know what Im getting and know that I will not be disappointed. Im willing to pay extra for that.

Greater than one weekBeautifully capable fan, slim 120mm and still really quiet compared to the fan its replacing. Top tier quality and absolutely worth its price if youre looking for a reliable fan for your system. The corner rubber stickers are easy to apply and you got the full selection of colors to choose from.

Greater than one weekI needed fans that I could put underneath my case for extra airflow, but regular fans cannot fit underneath my case. When I tried the regular size fans, the fans would be pushing on the ground. These fans were perfect to put underneath my case. I also bought some shrouds to put on the fans where I dont accidently put my fingers in the blades or break the blades. The case Im using is a Razer mini ITX, so the GPU takes up all the space at the bottom of the case, so I cant put the fans inside the case.

07-06-2025Originally connecting to my mother board ASUS Z490-E it wasnt recognized as PWN so I used DC. The thin profile was just what I wanted. Fan runs fine and is not noisy.

> 3 dayNoctua 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.

> 3 dayThe fans are slim but have enough power for air cooling or mount on an AIO. Just keep in mind the you’ll need screws of a different height to mount on an AIO, as most standard ones are meant for traditional fans. Only minor complaint is if you’re not careful with the rubber pad application, they can easily come off, but there are plenty in the box for second chances.

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.
