Review: Quieter than the stock fan on my disk enclosure - I have an old Thunderbolt SSD enclosure that has a one-speed fan (always on) the noise from which has annoyed me for years. When I heard about this fan, which happened to be exactly the right size, I was excited with the idea that I could lower the noise level. Now that the new fan was installed, the noise level is significantly lower in volume and frequency vs the original fan, which was an old Sunon MagLev model. It's not utterly silent but much less annoying, so I'm happy with the purchase. I agree with other reviewers that the quality of the materials is quite high, especially for the modest price. If you have a PC motherboard then I'm sure the installation is turnkey. However the connector in my enclosures (I checked a second one also) are not the same as the Intel/AMD standard connector so the install required some soldering. Since the fan in my enclosure is always on and one speed, there are only two wires on the fan connector, so some internet research was needed. I removed the existing fan and clipped the wires going its the proprietary connector. Then I soldered the wires from the Noctua cable to those wires, insulated the joints with heat shrink tubing and re-installed the fan. In my case the original wires and the Noctua wires were black and red, so no polarity check was necessary, but YMMV. There are 4 extension/adapter cables that come with the Noctual box, so I didn't actually have to modify the wire/connector permanently wired to the fan. Instead, I just modified the appropriate adapter cable. I wanted to run it in LNA (low noise) mode, using the designated cable in the Noctua box. Online chatter suggested to ignore the third (yellow, tach) wire and just connect up the red and black on the LNA cable, which I did. It works but the reduced airflow method seems to be to turn the fan on and off. This made a slight clicking noise at the beginning and/or end of the on-cycle. That was annoying - in part because no fan is truly silent. So I then clipped the big 4 pin connector (from PCs of old, maybe 3/4" across) off the 3:4 adapter cable - it just has red and black wires - and soldered them on the wires coming off of the proprietary connector from the enclosure. The fan runs at full speed now but the noise is consistent. If you aren't comfortable soldering small wires and insulating the connections - and your application is something other than a PC motherboard - then a replacement fan might not be the best bet for you. ## Features - Premium quiet fan, 60x60x25 mm, 12V, 3-pin Molex, 3000/2400/1600 RPM, max. 19.3 dB(A), >150,000 h MTTF - Award-winning 60x25mm A-series fan with Flow Acceleration Channels and Advanced Acoustic Optimisation frame for superior quiet cooling performance - Ideal replacement for noisy or broken 12V 6cm fans in DVRs, NAS, network and storage devices, 3D printers, etc. - 3-pin FLX version provides 3000/2400/1600rpm speed settings via Low-Noise Adaptors to fine-tune the fan for maximum airflow or near-silent operation - Includes anti-vibration mounts, fan screws, Low-Noise & Ultra-Low-Noise Adaptors, extension cable and 3:4-pin adaptor for powering the fan directly from the power supply ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B009NQMESS | | Best Sellers Rank | #135 in Computer Case Fans | | Brand | Noctua | | Brand Name | Noctua | | Compatible Devices | Desktop | | Cooling Method | Air | | Customer Reviews | 4.8 out of 5 stars 1,469 Reviews | | Global Trade Identification Number | 00102930672910, 07445803090279 | | Item Dimensions L x W x H | 2.36"L x 0.98"W x 2.36"H | | Item Weight | 190 g | | Manufacturer | Noctua | | Material Type | Fibre-glass reinforced PBT | | Maximum Rotational Speed | 3000 rpm | | Model | NF-A6x25 | | Noise Level | 19.3 db | | Number of Items | 1 | | Number of Packs | 1 | | Part Number | NF-A6x25 | | Power Connector Type | 3-Pin | | Product Dimensions | 2.36"L x 0.98"W x 2.36"H | | UPC | 731215274114 172302657913 806291857183 163121136796 808111662885 102930672910 782386476630 842431014061 809185325683 132017920733 168141421693 804066782012 809385174876 | | Unit Count | 1 Count | | Voltage | 12 volts | | Warranty Description | 6 year manufacturer’s warranty | ## Product Details - **Brand:** Noctua - **Compatible Devices:** Desktop - **Cooling Method:** Air - **Material:** Fibre-glass reinforced PBT - **Maximum Rotational Speed:** 3000 RPM - **Noise Level:** 19.3 Decibels - **Power Connector Type:** 3-Pin - **Product Dimensions:** 2.36"L x 0.98"W x 2.36"H - **Voltage:** 12 Volts ## Images ![Noctua NF-A6x25 FLX, High-Performance Quiet Fan 60mm | High Airflow, Low Noise, 25mm Thick, for PC and Electronics Cooling, 3 Speed Settings 3000/2400/1600rpm 3-Pin - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/71x64G4hl0L.jpg) ## Available Options This product comes in different **Size** options. ## Questions & Answers **Q: Can I run this as a 2 pin fan ?** A: Yes I have a pair on the back of my k3 Elecraft amateur radio running it two pins you will have to choose the speed you want with the wires that come out of the fan its self. I have a third fan on the inlet opening of the amp to help with its cooling again using only two of the wires. **Q: It looks like it has 3 wires coming out of the fan. which wires do you connect to 12 vdc, +/- , high or low speed?** A: As the last person answered, you can just connect the red and black for max speed and noise or use the provided cables to change it to the speed and noise level you like. I have two of these, one I have running at full speed and the other I used a resistance cable to slow it down to the medium speed to be very quiet and still do a good job of cooling. This is a good quiet fan and with the cables provided you have a 3 speeds, so the choice is yours. I did not use the third wire for anything. **Q: What is the current draw?** A: This is the current draw listed on the package. The Product shipped to me does not conform to this rating and only draws 0.06 amps at 12.0 volts. **Q: am i able to solder this to be powered by a batter?** A: You can cut the plug off and solder the + & - to whatever source or solder leads to your battery and plug them into the original fan plug,but remember this is a 12 volt fan by design....Hope this helps ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ High-Quality, Durable, and Perfect for Even Cooling in our Boat Fridge *by S***E on September 8, 2025* We use six of these Noctua NF-A6x25 FLX fans in our fridge on our Leopard 40 catamaran, and they work perfectly.

Even though the original fan was four, pin I adapted this one to work with the three pin socket. Runs perfectly. used the adapter to slow it down a bit so it's whisper quiet. Still at the slower speed moves a lot of air.
