Description

Noctua's premium cooling components are internationally renowned for their superb quietness, exceptional performance and quality. 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. 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. The 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. The 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. With 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. Noctua’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.

    • FAN-tastic ;)
These 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! The only gripes I do have are very small and, in my opinion, don't merit a take-off of any stars. The first is that while I love the black-out look of the fan, the brass-colored fan hub reinforcement on the front fan surface is a little clashing. Secondly, I'm not sure what's up with Noctuas approach of have a female plug RIGHT at the end of the fan and then using an extension cable to actually plug it in, but I'm not a big fan of this approach. In my eyes it adds an unnecessary point of failure, or just bulk, to the fan frame. Considering these are likely going to be installed in VERY tight clearance areas, that's not what you want. Other than that, they're flawless. Would gladly buy more. I'll present a little scenario here that might help some people. Say you have around 50mm of clearance for a radiator and a fan. You were originally considering a ~25mm thick radiator, and a traditional 25mm thick fan. Or, you can get maybe a ~35mm thick radiator and one of these 120x15mm fans. I'd suggest the set up with the thicker radiator and this fan. The extra surface area of the radiator will allow for better heat dissipation, and the fan still has plenty of strength and ability to disperse the heat output of a radiator. It'd say the same if you're in a similar position with heatsinks as well, though that's a bit more rare. ... show more

    • Rock-Solid Noctua Quality
I’ve been running this fan in my build for about 7 weeks now, and it’s been excellent. Fit and finish are top-notch, installation was easy, and it performs great in a space-constrained setup. Noise levels are very low, even under load, and airflow is impressive for a 15mm slim fan. The chromax.black design is a nice bonus if you care about aesthetics. No complaints so far. ... show more

    • Amazing fan, oven though it's a bit pricey.
Excellent fan. The fan noise is low as well as the bearing noise being basically non-existent. Applying a fan curve will make this perfect for any small form factor build. The fan is virtually noise free until used at higher rpms. The only downside would be if you're building in a case like the Fractal Terra, there can be a bit of wind resistance noise from the fan if used as the bottom intake/exhaust. Overall great fan and I would highly recommend to any in need of a fan to either use as a cpu fan, or as a case fan. Moves a ton of air while being incredibly quiet. ... show more

Perfect (but tight) fit in the Thor Zone Nanooq S case with an AMD 9070 XT GPU. Positioned at the front as exhaust. Super-quiet.

    • Perfect fit
I needed some slim case fans for an ITX ~27L case where regular case fans were too tall. Just wished they had a white, gray, and red color options. Very quiet. Airflow is decent but not spectacular. Traditional Noctua non-RGB high quality. A bit pricey. Keeps the system cool enough so it performs its job. ... show more

    • Worth the expense.
I haven't built a PC in over ten years so I researched and agonized over pretty much every component before I bought them. Any apprehension you have before spending money on these fans is totally understandable. They're expensive, but what I got in delivery was worth it. The packaging is quality, with the fan and connected extension, and a separate container tucked in the box for the colored anti-vibration pads. The fans are slender, heavy, and when you flick them they'll go for what seems like forever. The color anti-vibration pads are a neat touch and come in multiple colors. Kids wanted each to be a rainbow. Installation had some headaches because the provided screws didn't mesh well with the holes in my NR600 case. They required a lot of torque to tap into the plastic of the fan but tightened securely after that. Removing them, in the incredibly unlikely event that you might have a mental lapse and install the fan pointing the wrong direction, is a cinch. When the time came to turn my new PC on I admit I panicked because I couldn't hear the fans. With my ceiling fan going I can't hear them at all. These run a nearly silent low frequency hum that I can barely hear over ambient noise. There's a premium price to pay for silence with air movement but it's totally worth it. Just be aware that unlike the brown and tan version, there's no splitter included. You'll have to find your own splitter or a PWM header for each fan if you want speed control. Pros: Scary quiet. Moves a lot of air. Feels sturdy. Stickers! Cons: Expensive. Weird short cord with an extension attached. Expensive. ... show more
