> 24 hourGreat fan. Perfect for my custom build. I used it in a tight spot to feed outside air to the 3 stock fans of my 1080ti. The card has never exceeded 58 degrees C. and my hot m.2 ssd sits right under the intake of the third fan. Very very happy I am.

> 24 hourBest fan manufacturer Ive found. Ive experienced fan failures and excessively noisy fans over the years, but never from a Noctua. I use them in all my computer cases anywhere a fan will fit, and my first Noctua CPU fan/heat sink combo (NH-C14 on a 1st generation I7 processor) is phenomenal. A perfect compliment for an SSD, you may have to look twice to see if the PC is on!

> 24 hourMy Dell G5 desktop absolutely sounded like a vacuum sweeper with only one exhaust fan that constantly ran full blast except for when it was shut down. I installed two 80mm Noctua exhaust fans and two intake fans with the included low noise adapter cable and now its so much quieter.

> 24 hourVery well made and includes several different cable lengths. Just doesnt plug into my DELL MB fan header. My oversight. I have had twp DELL PCs and know most DELL PCs use proprietary components. The thing that really torques my hind side is that the ONLY adaptor I have found to enable me to use the Noctua case fan costs as much as I paid for the fan. If I want to use the Noctua fan,I am going to have to find an adaptor, and I can tell you they are scarce. Bah Humbug DELL
The NF-A8 is a highly optimised, premium quality quiet 80mm fan. Featuring Noctua’s AAO (Advanced Acoustic Optimisation) frame as well as sophisticated aerodynamic design measures such as Flow Acceleration Channels, the NF-A8 further improves the renowned quiet cooling performance of the award-winning NF-R8. The PWM version sports Noctua’s custom designed NE-FD1 IC for fully automatic speed control via 4-pin fan headers and comes with a Low-Noise-Adaptor to reduce the maximum speed during PWM control from 2200 to 1750rpm. Its superb running smoothness, reference-class SSO2 bearing and Noctua’s trusted premium quality make it an elite choice for the highest demands.
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.

|
|---|---|---|---|
Flow Acceleration ChannelsThe NF-A8 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. |
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. |
Integrated anti-vibration padsIntegrated anti-vibration pads made from extra-soft silicone minimise the transmission of minute vibrations while maintaining full compatibility with all standard screws and other mounting systems. |
Scope of delivery
|
Inner Surface Microstructures
With the tips of the fan blades ploughing through the boundary layer created by the Inner Surface Microstructures, flow separation from the suction side of the blades is significantly suppressed, which results in reduced blade passing noise and improved airflow and pressure efficiency.
