Fan Noctua 120x120x15mm NF-A12x15 PWM chromax.black.swap

This is the slim 120 mm fan Noctua NF-A12x15 PWM chromax.black.swap – a variant with a profile of only 15 mm, suitable for cases and radiators where every millimeter counts. You get serious airflow of up to 55.44 CFM at a relatively low noise level of 23.9 dBA. In practice, this is a mid/high-end cooling solution for compact systems, with full PWM support for precise speed control. The black chromax design and interchangeable color pads allow you to visually match it with the rest of the build without sacrificing performance.

What you get

With a size of 120 x 120 x 15 mm, the fan is significantly thinner than standard 25 mm models, which helps in tight front panels, low-profile coolers, or when the radiator is too close to the RAM or GPU. The range of 450–1850 RPM provides wide control – from nearly silent operation to stable cooling under load. At maximum speed, the airflow of 55.44 CFM (94.2 m³/h) is more than sufficient for a 120 mm radiator or as an intake/exhaust fan in more compact cases. The SSO2 Bearing and declared MTBF 150000 hours mean long life and reliability, even under 24/7 operation. Thanks to the 4 Pin PWM connector, you can adjust the speed curves through BIOS or software, so your system is quiet at idle and more aggressive during gaming or rendering.

• A slim profile of only 15 mm in size 120 x 120 x 15 mm, which solves compatibility issues in compact cases and around radiators.
• A wide range of 450–1850 RPM, allowing you to balance between silence and maximum cooling according to your needs.
• Airflow of up to 55.44 CFM / 94.2 m³/h, sufficient for effective cooling of radiators and as a primary case intake/exhaust.
• Low noise level of 23.9 dBA, which is suitable for quiet or semi-quiet configurations with proper PWM settings.
• Quality SSO2 Bearing and MTBF 150000 hours for long-term reliable operation, including under prolonged load.
• 4 Pin PWM connector provides precise automatic speed control based on system temperature.
• Set of colored anti-vibration pads () and screws, so you can reduce vibrations and match the aesthetics to your build.
• Low consumption of 1.56 W at 12 V / 0.13 A, which minimally loads the power supply and fan headers.
• Long 72 months warranty, which secures your investment in quality cooling.

Who it is suitable for

This fan is particularly suitable if you are building a compact or tightly packed configuration where a standard 25 mm fan simply won't fit – SFF builds, tight front panels, AIO/radiator close to RAM modules. It is also a good choice if you are aiming for a quiet system with fine speed control and appreciate a clean black design with options for color accents. If you have a spacious case and thickness is not a concern, you might also look at thicker models for slightly better static pressure, but here you gain flexibility and compatibility.

The combination of a slim 15 mm profile, wide PWM range, and high-quality construction makes this Noctua fan a very practical solution when space is limited, and you don't want to compromise on cooling and noise.
