Greater than one weekAs 70s/80s as they look with the sexy brown and beige color scheme, these puppies are incredibly high quality, incredibly silent, and move some air. Highly recommended. The rubber bits at the corner to help dampen any vibrations are a thoughtful touch.

> 3 dayVery Quiet, perfect fit. For a system that isnt seen the color doesnt matter. Best fans on the market.

Greater than one weekThis fan is quiet, and the specifications are honest. Personally, I dont care for the colors. But from the packaging down to the sheathing on the wires, you can tell this is a high quality product.

> 3 dayMy computer chassis came with a very cheap and loud three pin fan. When I built the computer I decided to upgrade it and what a difference. This thing is super quiet and since it is a 4 pin I have more control over its function in the BIOS. Color isnt a problem for me since I cant see it on the back of the computer. Great upgrade for me. I also have the Noctua Low-Profile Quiet CPU Cooler for Intel 115x Based Retail Cooling NH-L9I and they go together well. Love this brand!

> 3 dayHave this in an older Antec case Thats has space for 1 120mm fan and 1 80mm fan. The stuck 80mm was very loud and had some funky LEDs. Replaced it with one of these and added a second to the 5.25 inch bays. Super quiet and moves a good amount of air. Little bit pricy but not too bad

> 3 dayIf you are into fancy boxes and flashy marketing then buy this. This is just got a little bit more flare with the rubber attachments and louder than the NF-R8 (NF-R8 rated at 17.1). If you stick the adapter (but why bother? ) you can get the sound down a little bit more for the price.

> 3 dayMy recently bought enermax 80mm fan was rattling and making buzzing noises even at low rpms. So I bought this one because Ive been reading about how great noctua is...
The NF-A8 is a highly optimised, premium quality quiet 80mm fan. Featuring Noctua’s AAO (Advanced Acoustic Optimisation) frame as well as sophisticated aerodynamic design measures such as Flow Acceleration Channels, the NF-A8 further improves the renowned quiet cooling performance of the award-winning NF-R8. The PWM version sports Noctua’s custom designed NE-FD1 IC for fully automatic speed control via 4-pin fan headers and comes with a Low-Noise-Adaptor to reduce the maximum speed during PWM control from 2200 to 1750rpm. Its superb running smoothness, reference-class SSO2 bearing and Noctua’s trusted premium quality make it an elite choice for the highest demands.
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.

|---|---|---|---|
Flow Acceleration ChannelsThe 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. |
SSO2 bearingThe 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. |
Integrated anti-vibration padsIntegrated anti-vibration pads made from extra-soft silicone minimise the transmission of minute vibrations while maintaining full compatibility with all standard screws and other mounting systems. |
Scope of delivery
|
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.
