Noctua NF-A8 PWM, Premium Quiet Fan, 4-Pin (80mm, Brown)

Im pleased with how quiet this fan ended up being once I installed it. Like, case fans are mostly a commodity item, unless you want a fancy-looking case (which means a transparent fan with LEDs) or a quiet case (which means fans like this one).

They work, theyre quiet, just as expected.

Noctua is known for their low volume and high airflow, and now I see why. Great fans.

For such a small fan, it really is awesome. The amount of love and care in these fans is apparent -- they just work and they do it quietly. The included adapter to lower the RPM even more is an awesome perk. That said, these colors are so terrible.

These are easily the best 80mm fans you can buy. I bought a couple of them to cool a 750Ti which I removed the stock fans and fan shroud. They are literally silent. They are impossible to hear if they are turned down using the motherboard. I even replaced my standard light bulbs in my room with LED ones because my computer was so silent I could hear them humming and that was starting to drive me crazy... but Im pretty OCD about things like this.

Ill keep it short: my computers stock fan was so loud, it was making the whole pc tower vibrate and caused a massive amount of noise. I can still remember the vibrations from my legs and arms making contact with the desk. I finally got tired of it and ordered this fan. It took about a minute to install and turn it on and that was that. No more noise. Its like its not even on. If I hadnt seen the blades spinning, Id think I got a dud. It also keeps the PCs temperatures far lower than the stock fan. All I can say is that Ill never go back to regular fans. Its that good.

They may seem pricy. You might not like the color, but these are hands down the best fans money can buy. When they say ultra quiet, they mean it. I put them in an old NAS that was so loud that you could hardly stand to be in the room with it. Now it’s so quiet I forget it’s on, and it even runs cooler than before.

My 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!

Im using 2 of these fans in my front to pull cool air into the case and they are doing an excellent job keeping the airflow moving and the internal components (especially my GFX) cool. So far Im a new but HUGE fan of Noctua and believe they are the only company Ill be using for future cooling purchases. All of the recent fans (cpu cooler, 120mm, and 80mm) have been through Noctua for the efficiency of airflow and low noise they provided (none are using the provided low noise adapters as I havent seen the need to use them).

Great upgrade for the old fans in my PC case. Noise level cut by 90% as compared to a molecule fan from 2003. I know that’s not much to go off of but it changed my PC so much for the better, no reason not to go noctua every time.
