Greater than one weekquiet as described and efficient so far.

I buy too much
> 3 dayThese fans may not be the cheapest, but they are extremely quiet and have a reputation for reliability. Comes with an array of cables and some rubber mounting pegs.

Greater than one weeksuper happy of these fans it exhaust all of the hot air from my Corsair 250D and does it without making any noise!!

> 3 dayUsed this to replace the factory fan in an Icom IC-7300 (yellow to red, black to black) which was quite noisy, this fan is silent! Perfect!

> 3 dayI replaced both my CPU fan with an 80mm and my case fan with a 92mm version of the Noctua fans. The are very quiet and seem well made. Box included 3 additional cables, screws and rubber mounts in case I needed to use them... Didnt need for my install, but nice touch! Very happy and recommend them!

> 3 dayFit perfectly in an older Dell 790 SFF. Less noisy than the stock fan. Seems to be keeping things cool. Had to use with a Pocaton 5Pin Female to 4Pin Male Socket Connector Jack PWM Cooling Fan Power Cable Compatible with DELL PC in order to connect to the motherboard.

> 3 dayBought several of these. Used them as case fans and also to replace two powersupply fans on older Antec Basique 500w. Quiet reliable fans, working for few years already without an issue. Using the provided resistors makes them even quieter. Will not consider other brands.

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.
