Noctua NF-A12x15 PWM chromax.black.swap PC fan Black (W x H x D) 120 x 120 x 15 mm

The NF-A12x15 has received numerous awards and recommendations from international hardware websites and magazines and has established itself as a reference for 120mm slim fans in premium quality. The Chromax.black.swap edition combines the unique silent cooling performance of the NF-A12x15 with an attractive, completely black design and self-adhesive anti-vibration pads in red, white, blue, green, yellow and black – in this way the fan can be individually color-coded and adapted to specific color schemes. With Noctua's proven SSO2 premium warehouse, more than 150,000 hours MTTF, the NF-A12x15 PWM chromax.black.swap is the perfect choice for users who place just as much emphasis on individual, focused esthetics as on first-class quality and performance.

Award-winning NF-A12x15 design
With dozens of recommendations and awards from the international trade press, the NF-A12x15 has become a reference in the field of high-quality slim 120mm fans. Its outstanding efficiency has already convinced tens of thousands of customers around the world.

Chromax.black.swap Edition
Maximum color selection! The Chromax.black.swap edition of the NF-A12x15 can be customized by means of the accompanying self-adhesive anti-vibration pads as well as optional cable: Perfect for enthusiasts who are looking for a real premium fan, which can be adapted to different color schemes (e.g. complete black, black/white, black/red or black/blue).

Self-adhesive anti-vibration pads in 6 colors
The NF-A12x15 PWM chromax.black.swap is delivered with exchangeable, self-adhesive anti-vibration pads (8 pieces each of black, white, red, blue, green and yellow). In this way, the fan can be color-coordinated with other components or adapted to common color schemes.

5mm slim design
With a depth of only 15mm, the NF-A12x15 is much slimmer than normal 120x25mm fans. This makes it ideal for typical slim applications such as low-profile CPU coolers or to save space by replacing 120x25mm fans on tower coolers, radiators or in housings.

Metal reinforced hub area
In the case of commercially available slim fans with a larger diameter, the short axis and the small bearing often result in reduced stability and service life. The NF-A12x15 uses a massive metal reinforcement in the hub area, just like high-speed fans in the industrial sector, in order to guarantee the long-term stability familiar from Noctua.

Flow Acceleration Channels
The impeller of the NF-A12x15 is equipped with so-called flow acceleration channels on the suction side. By accelerating the airflow in the critical outer regions of the fan blades, suction-side eddy solutions are reduced, resulting in higher efficiency and a lower turbulence-related noise emission.

AAO frame system
Noctuas AAO (Advanced Acoustic Optimization) frames have integrated vibration buffers, a stepped inlet design and an internal surface microstructure (Inner Surface Microstructures) that enable even better performance/noise efficiency.

Quilted inlet design
The stepped inlet area of the Stepped Inlet Design creates more turbulence in the supply. This facilitates the transition from laminar flow to turbulent flow, which is better attached to the frame (flow attachment) and thus increases the suction capacity of the fan, especially with a limited suction area.

Inner Surface Microstructures
The inner surface microstructure (Inner Surface Microstructures) creates a boundary layer through which the tips of the fan blades move. This reduces the current separation from the suction side of the blade tips, resulting in a significant reduction of the rotating tone and an increase in the pressure and air flow efficiency.

SSO2 storage system
The NF-A12x15 is equipped with the further optimized second generation of Noctua's proven SSO storage system. With SSO2 the rear magnet sits closer to the fan axis and thus causes an even better stabilization, which leads to a further improved precision and durability.

PWM IC WITH SCD
The fan supports fully automatic speed control via PWM and uses Noctua's specially designed NE-FD1 chip for this purpose. This new PWM IC integrates Noctuas Smooth Commutation Drive (SCD) technology, which minimizes PWM switching noise and makes the fan quieter at low speeds.

Stops at 0% PWM
The fan can be brought to a complete standstill by being controlled by the mainboard or a fan control with a PWM duty cycle of 0%. This makes it ideal for semi-passive systems, which switch off the fans under low thermal load and thus run completely silently.
