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.
15mm 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.
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.
