Noctua NF-A12x15 PWM chromax.black.swap 12V 1850RPM 120x15mm Fan NF-A12X15-PWM-CH-BK-S

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; more than 150;000 hours MTTF and 6-year manufacturer's warranty; 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.
Award-winning NF-A12x15 design Having received dozens of recommendations from the international press; Noctua's NF-A12x15 has become a proven premium choice for slim 120mm cooling needs. Its renowned efficiency has convinced tens of thousands of customers all over the world.
chromax.black.swap edition 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. This makes it ideal for enthusiasts looking for a true premium-grade fan that can be colour-coordinated with popular build themes such as all black; black & white or black & red.
Self-adhesive anti-vibration pads in 6 colours 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.
Optional coloured cables 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.mm slim design 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.
Metal-reinforced motor hub 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 guarantee Noctua's signature stability and longevity.
Flow Acceleration Channels The NF-A12x15 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.
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.
Stepped Inlet Design Noctua's Stepped Inlet Design adds turbulence to the influx in order to facilitate the transition from laminar flow to turbulent flow; which reduces tonal intake noise; improves flow attachment and increases suction capacity; especially in space-restricted environments.
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.
SSO2 bearing 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.
Integrated Anti-Vibration Pads Integrated Anti-Vibration Pads made from extra-soft silicone minimise the transmission of minute vibrations while maintaining full compatibility with all standard mounting systems and fan clips used on heatsinks.
Custom-designed PWM IC with SCD Supporting fully automatic PWM speed control; the fan uses Noctua's custom-designed NE-FD1 PWM IC that integrates Smooth Commutation Drive (SCD) technology. By providing smoother torque impulses; SCD suppresses PWM switching noises and thus makes the fan quieter at low speeds.
Stops at 0% PWM When the fan is set to 0% PWM duty cycle by the motherboard or PWM fan controller; it will stop. This makes it ideal for creating setups with semi-passive cooling that automatically turn the fans off and thus run completely silent at idle if thermals allow.
6-year manufacturer's warranty Noctua fans are renowned for their impeccable quality and outstanding longevity. Like all Noctua fans; the NF-A12x15 features an MTTF of more than 150.000 hours rating and comes with a full 6-year manufacturer's warranty.
