Featuring advanced aerodynamic Flow Acceleration Channels, a metal-reinforced motor hub, and ultra-quiet operation at just 23.9 dB(A), it delivers efficient cooling with whisper-quiet performance. Its 4-pin PWM control allows seamless automatic speed adjustment, while anti-vibration mounts ensure silent, stable operation. Built for longevity with over 150,000 hours MTTF, this fan is ideal for low-profile CPU coolers, HTPCs, and compact ITX cases. ## Description Product Description Featuring advanced aerodynamic design measures such as Flow Acceleration Channels and Noctua’s AAO frame, the NF-A12x15 is a highly optimised, premium quality quiet fan in size 120x15mm. Its 15mm slim design makes the NF-A12x15 ideal for space-restricted applications such as low-profile CPU coolers or HTPC cases. 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 1850 to 1400rpm. Its superb running smoothness, reference-class SSO2 bearing and Noctua’s trusted premium quality make it an elite choice for the highest demands. 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. Flow Acceleration Channels The NF-A12x15 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 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. Integrated anti-vibration pads Integrated Anti-Vibration Pads made from extra-soft silicone minimise the transmission of minute vibrations while maintaining full compatibility with all standard mounting systems and fan clips used on heatsinks. Scope of delivery NA-RC7 Low-Noise Adaptor (L.N.A) NA-YC1 4-pin PWM y-cable NA-EC1 30cm extension cable 4x NA-AV3 anti-vibration mounts Fan screws 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. Review: Recommended - Quiet fan, working from 3 years without stop. Good product. Review: Great fan, ideal size, great performance - Using this fan primarily because of it being slimmer than most fans, because I have mounted this on the side of my case as an intake fan to blow air over my GPU. Installation is extremely simple, using the anti-vibration rubber mounts. The fan moves an reasonable amount of air considering its small size, and helps to keep my GPU a touch cooler being under a direct stream of cool air. Fan is 4-Pin so is PWM capable. I run the fan on average at 40% most of the time and the fan is completely silent. The temperature of my case does not reach temperatures required to push the fan to its limit very often. Fan comes with cable extension lead and low noise adapters to run the fan at lower voltages, but they really are not necessary with this fan I recommend this for anyone with tighter space requirements in their case. ## Features - Premium quiet slim fan, 120x120x15 mm, 12V, 4-pin PWM, max. 1850 RPM, max. 23.9 dB(A), >150,000 h MTTF - Award-winning A-series design with Flow Acceleration Channels and Advanced Acoustic Optimisation frame for superior quiet cooling performance - 120x15mm slim design ideal for low-profile CPU coolers, HTPCs, ITX builds, space-restricted applications etc. - 4-pin PWM version for automatic speed control via 4-pin PWM fan headers, 1850rpm maximum speed (1400rpm with supplied Low-Noise Adaptor) - Includes anti-vibration mounts, fan screws, extension cable and y-cable for running two PWM fans on the same header ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B071W6HJP6 | | Air Flow Capacity | 94.2 Cubic Metres Per Hour | | Best Sellers Rank | 17,199 in Business, Industry & Science ( See Top 100 in Business, Industry & Science ) 66 in Electronic Cooling Fans | | Brand | Noctua | | Compatible Devices | Desktop | | Cooling Method | Air | | Cooling method | Air | | Customer Reviews | 4.7 out of 5 stars 2,724 Reviews | | Global Trade Identification Number | 09010018100082 | | Included Components | NOCTUA NF-A12X15 PWM | | Item Dimensions L x W x H | 12L x 12W x 1.5H centimetres | | Item Weight | 0.28 Kilograms | | Manufacturer | Noctua | | Manufacturer Part Number | NF-A12x15 PWM | | Material | Fibre-glass reinforced PBT | | Max Rotational Speed | 1850 RPM | | Model Number | NF-A12x15 PWM | | Noise Level | 23.9 Decibels | | Number of Items | 1 | | Power Connector Type | 4-Pin | | Power connector type | 4-Pin | | Product Warranty | 6 year manufacturer’s warranty | | Product dimensions | 12L x 12W x 1.5H centimetres | | Unit Count | 1.0 count | | Voltage | 12 Volts | | Wattage | 1.56 watts | ## Product Details - **Brand:** Noctua - **Compatible devices:** Desktop - **Cooling method:** Air - **Material:** Fibre-glass reinforced PBT - **Maximum rotational speed:** 1850 RPM - **Noise level:** 23.9 Decibels - **Power connector type:** 4-Pin - **Product dimensions:** 12L x 12W x 1.5H centimetres - **Voltage:** 12 Volts - **Wattage:** 1.56 watts ## Images ![NF-A12x15 PWM - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/81nbpVQbdcL.jpg) ![NF-A12x15 PWM - Image 2](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/81RzuhSkfZL.jpg) ![NF-A12x15 PWM - Image 3](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/81rXRA4MuXL.jpg) ![NF-A12x15 PWM - Image 4](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/81+7g2-kTFL.jpg) ![NF-A12x15 PWM - Image 5](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/717EF13oXXL.jpg) ## Questions & Answers **Q: Will these fans do well in cooling an aio? can anyone recommend a review of their performance in this role? thanks** A: Hi, In my experience the fans draw a lot of airflow so do work well on an AIO. As these fans are much thinner than the traditional thickness, make sure you have the correct length screws otherwise you could damage your radiator when attaching them. **Q: Will these ever come in black?** A: Yes, in the first half of 2020. **Q: Recently purchased a nh-l12s and i'm struggling to find some clips that would allow me to mount a second fan onto it. where can i get some?** A: Email Noctua. **Q: Can you control the speed yourself on these or is it only automatic? and what am i losing by going for a slim fan instead of a standard one? thanks :)** A: Yes. It depends on your mb. I am using this fan on a lga 1150 motherboard and i use an app called speedfan to control speed. I use this fan in a small form factor case. Hence the slim fan. If you have room in a standard case I would go with a standard fan. ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Recommended *by B***Z on 15 March 2026* Quiet fan, working from 3 years without stop. Good product. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Great fan, ideal size, great performance *by A***W on 4 October 2018* Using this fan primarily because of it being slimmer than most fans, because I have mounted this on the side of my case as an intake fan to blow air over my GPU.

The original fan was 25mm thick so the search was on for a slimmer one. This fan is 15mm thick and is suitable for low profile applications so was perfect. Pros - slimmer than most fans available, whisper quiet, and extremely high quality parts. Comes with extra cables and adaptors and very well packaged. Cons - that color... Not for me but since its an exhaust fan and my case has no windows it didn't matter. Also, the price was a little high for a non rgb fan. Though the price was a little high, I would definitely buy more (and need to) as I can be assured all the parts are of top quality. ## Frequently Bought Together - Noctua NF-A12x15 PWM, Premium Quiet Slim Fan, 4-Pin (120x15mm, Brown) - Noctua NA-FG1-12 Sx2, Fan Grills for 120mm Fans (Set of 2, Black) - Noctua NF-A12x25 PWM, Premium Quiet Fan, 4-Pin (120mm, Brown) --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.ae/products/48259258-nf-a12x15-pwm](https://www.desertcart.ae/products/48259258-nf-a12x15-pwm) --- *Product available on Desertcart United Arab Emirates* *Store origin: AE* *Last updated: 2026-06-20*
