Quiet box fan 140mm PWM

Overview
Exceptionally quiet!

The NF-A15 is a quiet Noctua fan in 140mm format with a square frame that meets Noctua's AAO(Advanced Acoustic Optimisation) standard. The NF-A15's frame has holes for 120mm mounting(105mm spacing) yet has an oversized frame(150mm) offering increased performance for the latest CPU fans.

Benefiting from the latest advances in aerodynamic technology, including Flow Acceleration Channels, the NF-A15 takes the cooling performance for which the acclaimed NF-P14 is renowned even further.

Noctua's proprietary PWM IC for fully automated speed control and SSO2 reference bearings ensure quiet operation and long life. Complete with a modular wiring system, low noise adapter (LNA) and a 6 year manufacturer's warranty, the NF-A15 is the ideal fan for the most demanding users.

Successor to the famous NF-P14
Noctua's NF-P14 fan has become the benchmark in the PC world. Thanks to numerous successive aerodynamic optimisations, the NF-A15 now offers increased static pressure and an even better airflow/noise ratio than its predecessor.
140mm rounded frame with a width of 150mm
The NF-A15 is a fan specifically designed for the latest CPU fans. Despite the 150mm width, which is intended for the most optimised fans, the height (140mm) allows it to keep a slim profile offering better case compatibility.
Flow Acceleration Channels
The NF-A15 impeller is fitted with flow channels on the suction side of the fan. The flow acceleration generated at the tips of the blades creates a more massive, less dispersed suction, thus increasing efficiency.
AAO frame
Noctua's AAO(Advanced Acoustic Optimisation) frames are equipped with anti-vibration mounts and benefit from exclusive optimisations to push the limits of performance and silence.
Stepped Inlet Design
Noctua's Stepped Inlet design adds turbulence to the inlet flow, allowing a gradual transition from laminar to turbulent flow. This reduces noise emissions, generates a more massive flow and increases suction power.
Inner Surface Microstructures
As the blade tips move in a boundary layer influenced by the presence of an Inner Surface Microstructure, the flow separation that takes place at the suction level becomes almost non-existent.
Integrated anti-vibration dampers
The integrated anti-vibration mounts, made of extra soft silicone, limit the transmission of vibrations while ensuring perfect compatibility with standard fastening systems.
SSO2 Bearing
This is the latest generation of the SSO2 bearing, which is even more optimised. The SSO2 is equipped with a rear magnet closer to the axle for greater precision, durability and stability.
Metal bearings
In order to ensure the highest quality of workmanship, durability and stability, the NF-A15 is equipped with a CNC machined brass bearing.
Smooth Commutation Drive 2
Noctua's latest SCD system ensures smooth operation by eliminating torque variations and switching noise. As a result, the NF-A15 remains very quiet even at close range.
Exclusive PWM IC system with SCD
Compatible with PWM automated speed control systems, the NF-A15s feature the latest NE-FD1 PWM IC that incorporatesSmooth Commutation Drive (SCD) technology.
Extensive wiring options
The first fan cable is a short 20cm cable to minimise the space required for routine use. The supplied 30cm extension cable will solve any distance problems.
Ultra-low power consumption
The NF-A15 consumes only 0.96W, which represents a reduction in power consumption of more than 20% compared to the previous model. Beyond the ecological interest, the impact is also real on your electricity bill!
6-year manufacturer's warranty
Noctua fans have an established reputation for quality and durability. As with all Noctua models, the NF-A15 has an MTBF of over 150,000 hours of testing and is backed by a full 6 year manufacturer's warranty.

    At the top

    As with many people, perfection is now a habit with Noctua. From the packaging to the product.
    I bought two of these to replace Corsair Air Series ML 140 Pro LED White fans that I had recently purchased but which proved to be extremely noisy.
    I'm not sure how quiet it is considering the size of these fans, but the difference is incomparable with the Corsair. Thank you LDLC for the smooth delivery!
