> 3 dayThese are the best fans in the world for a reason... and even though they are the most hideous PC parts that Ive ever seen, I dont think that Ill ever go back.

Greater than one weekIf you have to install two of these packed together all the rubber noise reduction will make this tricky. I had to put the screws on and angle to get the second fan in my case.

> 3 dayAs quiet as they come. The colors are... well, Noctua colors. But Id trade looks for quiet any day in a fan.

> 3 dayI forgot I had these. Seriously... They were so quiet I forgot I bought these/they existed at all. It moves a ton of air and couldnt be happier! :D

> 3 dayInstalled in an Icom IC-7300. It is much quieter than the stock OEM fan. Easy to install.

> 3 dayPremium. That basically sums it all up. From packaging to the quality of Noctuas products. You know what you are getting. A little on the higher priced side? Sure. But these fans (even at the 80mm size) are better then any fans I have ever purchased. From Antek to Corsair, I am now a believer in Noctua. 10/10 would buy again

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.
