  • Featuring advanced aerodynamic design measures such as Flow Acceleration Channels and Noctua’s AAO frame, the NF-A12x15 is a highly optimised, premium quality quiet fan in size 120x15mm.
  • Its 15mm slim design makes the NF-A12x15 ideal for space-restricted applications such as low-profile CPU coolers or HTPC cases.
  • The FLX version provides 1850/1400/950rpm speed settings via the supplied Low-Noise Adaptors in order to allow full flexibility in fine-tuning the fan for maximum ventilation performance or near-silent operation.
  • Its superb running smoothness, reference-class SSO2 bearing and Noctua’s trusted premium quality make it an elite choice for the highest demands.

 15mm slim design


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


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


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


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


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


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.

 

Integrated Anti-Vibration Pads


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.

 

Smooth Commutation Drive 2

 
Smooth Commutation Drive 2
  The latest version of Noctua's advanced Smooth Commutation Drive system ensures superb running smoothness by eliminating torque variations and switching noises.
  This makes the fan remarkably quiet even at very close distances. 

 

3 speed settings for full flexibility


3 speed settings for full flexibility
  Providing 1850, 1400 and 950 rpm speed settings via the supplied Low-Noise and Ultra-Low-Noise Adapters, the NF-A12x15 FLX (Flexibility) can be fine-tuned for superior airflow or maximum quietness.

 

Extensive cabling options


Extensive cabling options
  The fan's short 20cm primary cable minimises cable clutter in typical applications while the supplied 30cm extension provides extended reach when necessary.
  Both cables are fully sleeved and the supplied 3:4 pin adaptor allows the connection of the fan directly to the power supply.

 

SSO2 bearing


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.

 

6-year manufacturer’s warranty


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.
