Noctua NF-A8 PWM chromax.black.swap 12V 2200RPM 80mm Fan NF-A8-PWM-CH-BK-S

Having received dozens of awards and recommendations from international hardware websites and magazines; the NF-A8 has established itself as a default choice when it comes to premium-quality 80mm fans. The chromax.black.swap edition combines the NF-A8's signature quiet cooling performance with an attractive all-black design and a bundle of swappable red; white; blue; green; yellow and black anti-vibration pads that allow the colour-customisation of the fan to match individual build colour schemes. For further customisation; a wide range of accessories such as coloured cables and anti-vibration mounts are available separately. Topped off with Noctua's trusted premium-grade SSO2 bearing; more than 150;000 hours MTTF and 6-year manufacturer's warranty; the NF-A8 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-A8 design Having received dozens of recommendations from the international press; Noctua's NF-A8 has become a proven premium choice for 80mm cooling needs. Its renowned efficiency has convinced tens of thousands of customers all over the world.
chromax.black.swap edition Maximising colour choices; Noctua's chromax.black.swap edition fans can be colour-customised using the included swappable anti-vibration pads as well as optional anti-vibration mounts and cables. This makes them ideal for enthusiasts looking for true premium-grade fans that can be colour-coordinated with popular build themes such as all black; black & white or black & red.
Swappable anti-vibration pads in 6 colours The NF-A8 PWM chromax.black.swap comes with 4 white; red; blue; green and yellow as well as 8 black NA-AVP5 anti-vibration pads. By combining the various colours with black or going all black; the fan can be coordinated with most popular build colour schemes out of the box. Additional NA-SAVP5 sets for outfitting both sides in one colour can be purchased separately.
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.
Optional coloured anti-vibration mounts To complement the coloured anti-vibration pads included with the fans; users can purchase chromax line NA-SAV2 anti-vibration mounts that enable the convenient; quick and vibration-free installation of fans in standard mounting holes for case fans.
Flow Acceleration Channels The 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.
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-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.
Custom-designed PWM IC with SCD Supporting fully automatic PWM speed control; the NF-A8 PWM uses Noctua's novel; 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-A8 features an MTTF of more than 150.000 hours rating and comes with a full 6-year manufacturer's warranty.
