Noctua NF-A12x15 PWM chromax.Black.swap, Premium Quiet Slim Fan, 4-Pin (120x15mm, Black)

I’ve been running this fan in my build for about 7 weeks now, and it’s been excellent. Fit and finish are top-notch, installation was easy, and it performs great in a space-constrained setup. Noise levels are very low, even under load, and airflow is impressive for a 15mm slim fan. The chromax.black design is a nice bonus if you care about aesthetics. No complaints so far.

Excellent fan. The fan noise is low as well as the bearing noise being basically non-existent. Applying a fan curve will make this perfect for any small form factor build. The fan is virtually noise free until used at higher rpms. The only downside would be if you're building in a case like the Fractal Terra, there can be a bit of wind resistance noise from the fan if used as the bottom intake/exhaust. Overall great fan and I would highly recommend to any in need of a fan to either use as a cpu fan, or as a case fan. Moves a ton of air while being incredibly quiet.

Replaced the 120mm slim fan on my Scythe Fuma 2 CPU cooler with this chromax.black.swap Noctua. Fits great, VERY quiet, cools great, and looks cool too.

It’s a Noctua fan. It’s well made, silent at normal operating speeds and super thin. I used it in an Ncase M2 build and it has been working great. Highly recommend if you have the extra budget.

These PC fans are perfect for anyone looking for reliable cooling without the extra flash. They were easy to install and set up, and they work exactly as expected. While they don’t have RGB lighting, they’re a solid choice for performance-focused builds. I’d definitely recommend them to anyone in need of quality PC fans at a great value.

I haven't built a PC in over ten years so I researched and agonized over pretty much every component before I bought them. Any apprehension you have before spending money on these fans is totally understandable. They're expensive, but what I got in delivery was worth it. The packaging is quality, with the fan and connected extension, and a separate container tucked in the box for the colored anti-vibration pads. The fans are slender, heavy, and when you flick them they'll go for what seems like forever. The color anti-vibration pads are a neat touch and come in multiple colors. Kids wanted each to be a rainbow. Installation had some headaches because the provided screws didn't mesh well with the holes in my NR600 case. They required a lot of torque to tap into the plastic of the fan but tightened securely after that. Removing them, in the incredibly unlikely event that you might have a mental lapse and install the fan pointing the wrong direction, is a cinch. When the time came to turn my new PC on I admit I panicked because I couldn't hear the fans. With my ceiling fan going I can't hear them at all. These run a nearly silent low frequency hum that I can barely hear over ambient noise. There's a premium price to pay for silence with air movement but it's totally worth it. Just be aware that unlike the brown and tan version, there's no splitter included. You'll have to find your own splitter or a PWM header for each fan if you want speed control. Pros: Scary quiet. Moves a lot of air. Feels sturdy. Stickers! Cons: Expensive. Weird short cord with an extension attached. Expensive.

upgraded due to a faulty fan, finally understand the hype. quiet, customizable color, and performant.

This is the only high-quality 120mmx15mm fan I could find in black. It works well and is quiet, but the price is too high. For the price, they could include a fan grill and a full silicone gasket instead of just the rubber corner pads. The packaging is easily 6x the volume necessary for this fan and the little rubber pads.
