> 24 hourThey have some of the best customer service Ive seen in hardware. They arent always fast, but they are effective. Theyll answer fiddly little technical questions, and quickly work to resolve issues. If I need a fan or heatsink I always turn to noctua first.

> 24 hourI have recently decided to annoy my girlfriend to death by purchasing a rack cabinet for my condo office and filling it with totally unnecessary hardware like Ubiquiti switches and raspberry pis.

> 24 hourWorks perfect as exhaust fan for lían li dynamic o11, use it with two 30mm fan screws

> 24 hourNF-A8 fan is virtually silent in PWM mode. Rubber isolation mounts in various colors is a neat idea. Long bearing life greater than 150,000hrs is a plus considering the price. Cable sleeving is high quality. The chromax line looks good in black. The short fan tail is bulky when routing multiple fan wires together.

Having received dozens of awards and recommendations from international hardware websites and magazines, the NF-A8 has established itself as a default choice when it comes to premium-quality 80mm fans. The chromax.black.swap edition combines the NF-A8’s signature quiet cooling performance with an attractive all-black design and a bundle of swappable red, white, blue, green, yellow and black anti-vibration pads that allow the colour-customisation of the fan to match individual build colour schemes. For further customisation, a wide range of accessories such as coloured cables and anti-vibration mounts are available separately. Topped off with Noctua’s trusted premium-grade SSO2 bearing and more than 150,000 hours MTTF, the NF-A8 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.
AAO frame
Noctua"s AAO (Advanced Acoustic Optimisation) frames feature integrated anti-vibration pads as well as Noctua"s proprietary Stepped Inlet Design and Inner Surface Microstructures, both of which further refine the fan"s performance/noise efficiency.

Swappable anti-vibration pads in 6 coloursThe NF-A8 PWM chromax.black.swap comes with 4 black, white, red, blue, green and yellow NA-AVP5 anti-vibration pads respectively. By combining the various colours with black or leaving off the pads on one side, the fan can be coordinated with most popular build colour schemes out of the box. Additional NA-SAVP5 sets for outfitting both sides in one colour can be purchased separately. |
SSO2 bearingThe NF-A8 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. |
Flow Acceleration ChannelsThe fan’s 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. |
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, Noctua’s chromax.black.swap edition fans can be colour-customised using the included swappable anti-vibration pads as well as optional anti-vibration mounts and cables. This makes them ideal for enthusiasts looking for true premium-grade fans that can be colour-coordinated with popular build themes such as all black, black & white or black & red.
