I needed slim fans for a mini tower. What can I say except that they are Noctua... in black. High performance and quiet, you'd almost forget about them.

Overview
Silence is golden
Take your cooling and quietness to the next level with the Noctua NF-A12x15 PWM chromax.black.swap
120mm fan. Featuring an AAO frame, Flow Acceleration Channels and a 0.5mm blade tip gap thanks to Sterrox liquid crystal polymer combined with a high performance metal hub and motor shaft, this versatile model will be suitable for a variety of uses thanks to its exceptional performance.
The PWM versionfeatures the proprietary NE-FD1 IC which allows fully automatic speed control via the 4-pin fan connectors. It includes a Low Noise Adaptor (LNA) that caps the maximum speed during PWM drive, SSO2 reference bearings and a 6-year manufacturer's warranty.
chromax.black.swap series : Capable of offering a wide range of colours, the NF-A12x15 chromax.black.swap fan can be customised as required using the supplied self-adhesive anti-vibration pads or optional coloured cables. It is the ideal model for users looking for a high-end fan that can be aesthetically customised to match popular colour themes: 100% black, black and white or black and red.

Exclusive PWM IC with SCD The NF-A12x15 features the latest NE-FD1 PWM IC with Smooth Commutation Drive (SCD) technology. By generating less abrupt torque pulses, SCD eliminates the noise associated with PWM switching for quieter fan speeds. |
 |
Extensive wiring options
The first fan cable is a short 20cm (8") cable to minimise space requirements for common applications. The supplied 30cm extension cable will solve any distance problems.
|
 |
Flow Acceleration Channels
The NF-A12x15 impeller is equipped with flow channels on the suction side of the fan. The flow acceleration generated at the tips of the blades creates a more massive, less dispersed suction, thus increasing efficiency.
|
 |
AAO frame
Noctua's AAO(Advanced Acoustic Optimisation) frames are equipped with anti-vibration mounts and benefit from exclusive optimisations to push the limits of performance and silence.
|
 |
Stepped inlet design
Noctua's Stepped Inlet design adds turbulence to the inlet flow, allowing a gradual transition from laminar to turbulent flow. This reduces noise emissions, generates a more massive flow and increases suction power.
|
 |
Microstructured bypass duct
As the blade tips move through a boundary layer influenced by the presence of a Microstructured Inner Surface, the flow separation that takes place at the suction level becomes almost non-existent.
|
 |
Integrated anti-vibration dampers
The integrated anti-vibration mounts, made of extra soft silicone, limit the transmission of vibrations while ensuring perfect compatibility with standard fastening systems.
|
 |
SSO2 Bearing
This is the latest generation of the SSO2 bearing, which is even more optimised. The SSO2 is equipped with a rear magnet closer to the axle for greater precision, durability and stability.
|
 |
6-year manufacturer's warranty
Noctua fans are renowned for their quality and durability. As with all Noctua models, the NF-A12x15 has an MTBF of over 150,000 hours of testing and is backed by a full 6 year manufacturer's warranty.
|
 |
Low Noise Adapter
The NF-A12x15 comes with a Low Noise Adaptator (L.N.A.) that drops the maximum speed from 2000 to 1700 rpm. The L.N.A. is suitable for both fixed speed operation and PWM bridged operation. |
