Noctua NF‑A12x15 PWM 120 mm Fan

The Noctua NF‑A12x15 PWM 120 mm Fan is an ultra-slim, high-efficiency case fan designed for tight spaces such as low-profile CPU coolers, HTPCs, and compact builds.

Slim, Quiet & Optimized Design

15 mm Slim Profile with Metal-Reinforced Hub

At just 15 mm thickness, the NF‑A12x15 excels in space-restricted applications. Its steel-reinforced motor hub enhances stability and longevity—critical for such a slim form factor.

Flow Acceleration Channels & AAO Frame

Noctua’s Flow Acceleration Channels and AAO (Advanced Acoustic Optimisation) frame minimize turbulence and vibration. The fan delivers smooth airflow with low noise, thanks to its inner surface microstructures and silicone anti-vibration pads.

Custom PWM IC & Low-Noise Adapter

This PWM version uses Noctua’s NE‑FD1 IC with Smooth Commutation Drive (SCD), reducing PWM switching noise. A Low‑Noise Adapter caps maximum speed (1850 → 1400 RPM) for quieter operation.
