Having received dozens of awards and recommendations from international hardware websites and magazines, the NF-A12x15 has established itself as a default choice when it comes to premium-quality slim 120mm fans. The chromax.black.swap edition combines the NF-A12x15’s signature quiet cooling performance with an attractive all-black design and a bundle of self-adhesive red, white, blue, green, yellow and black anti-vibration pads that allow the colour-customisation of the fan to match individual build colour schemes. Topped off with Noctua’s trusted premium-grade SSO2 bearing and more than 150,000 hours MTTF, the NF-12x15 PWM chromax.black.swap is the perfect choice for all users who value individual, focused build aesthetics just as much as class-leading quality and performance.
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.
Self-adhesive anti-vibration pads in 6 colours
The NF-A12x15 PWM chromax.black.swap comes with 8 swappable, self-adhesive anti-vibration pads in black, white, red, blue, green and yellow respectively, which allow the fan to be fully colour-customised in order to coordinate it with other components or popular build schemes.
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.
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 ensure Noctua’s signature stability and longevity.
Optional coloured cables
Noctua’s chromax line fans use a modular cabling system and come pre-fitted with a fully sleeved black NA-EC1 30cm cable. For refined colour coordination, white, red, blue, green and yellow 30cm NA-EC1 cables plus corresponding NA-YC1 y-cables are available separately.
chromax.black.swap edition
Maximising colour choices, the NF-A12x15 chromax.black.swap fan can be colour-customised using the included self-adhesive anti-vibration pads as well as optional coloured cables.

This is a fantastic slim fan that really impressed me, especially with its sleek black design. I’ve always admired Noctua for their performance, but I was never a fan of their classic beige-brown color scheme, so seeing this all-black version was a huge win for me. It’s perfect for tight spaces or low-profile builds, and even though it’s only 15mm thick, it pushes plenty of air while staying super quiet-even when things heat up. Installing it was a breeze, and you can tell it’s built to last the moment you hold it. If you want top-tier performance with a design that actually looks great in your build, this fan is a no-brainer.

These fans are really good. Moves a lot of air. Noise level only becomes an issue at max speed. Price is not cheap but for long-term products life, it's worth it imo. Bought it for my Meshroom S V2.

I've been using at least 10 different sizes and types of Noctua fans. This one is one of my top 3 favorite ones. Not only is it thin so it fits in tight spaces, but also one of the quietest ones for the amount of air that it moves. This one is especially great for push/pull water cooler radiator setups.

PCの上面に取り付ける為に購入しました。CPUクーラーとの関係で薄型で静かなFANを探してこの商品にたどり着きました。FANの静かさには大変満足ですが正直値段が高いです…四隅に取り付ける色の付いたパッドは要らないので値段を下げてほしいですね。

Beautifully capable fan, slim 120mm and still really quiet compared to the fan it's replacing. Top tier quality and absolutely worth it's price if you're looking for a reliable fan for your system. The corner rubber stickers are easy to apply and you got the full selection of colors to choose from.

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.

These are some really fantastic (pun very intended) little fans. Their tone, and volume, output are all quite acceptable. They will get a little on the higher pitched side at full speed directly next to a mesh air panel, but at most operating speeds it barely makes any noticeable noise. They provide a lot of air movement, and certainly have enough static pressure output for being used on radiators. The all black aesthetic is great, took Noctua long enough!The only gripes I do have are very small and, in my opinion, don't merit a take-off of any stars. The first is that while I love the black-out look of the fan, the brass-colored fan hub reinforcement on the front fan surface is a little clashing. Secondly, I'm not sure what's up with Noctuas approach of have a female plug RIGHT at the end of the fan and then using an extension cable to actually plug it in, but I'm not a big fan of this approach. In my eyes it adds an unnecessary point of failure, or just bulk, to the fan frame. Considering these are likely going to be installed in VERY tight clearance areas, that's not what you want.Other than that, they're flawless. Would gladly buy more. I'll present a little scenario here that might help some people. Say you have around 50mm of clearance for a radiator and a fan. You were originally considering a ~25mm thick radiator, and a traditional 25mm thick fan. Or, you can get maybe a ~35mm thick radiator and one of these 120x15mm fans. I'd suggest the set up with the thicker radiator and this fan. The extra surface area of the radiator will allow for better heat dissipation, and the fan still has plenty of strength and ability to disperse the heat output of a radiator. It'd say the same if you're in a similar position with heatsinks as well, though that's a bit more rare.
