NF-A12x25 PWM chromax.black.swap, High-Performance Quiet Fan 120mm | High Airflow and Static Pressure, Low Noise, 25mm Thick Fan, for Cases/Coolers, Customisable Colour Pads, 2000rpm 4-Pin PWM

The Noctua NF-A12x25 PWM chromax.black is widely regarded as one of the best 120mm fans on the market, and after using it in my Montech Heritage case, I can confidently say it lives up to the hype. It strikes an excellent balance between quiet operation and strong airflow, making it a top choice for anyone building a PC who wants to maintain good temperatures without noise distractions. Sound Noise: This fan is impressively quiet, with no coil whine or ball bearing noise, which is a common issue in many other fans. Even at higher speeds, the sound remains a gentle hum rather than an intrusive noise, making it perfect for noise-sensitive users or those who want a silent PC environment. Airflow and Cooling Performance: The NF-A12x25 delivers excellent airflow and static pressure, which helps keep components cool under load. Its design is optimized for efficiency, pushing a substantial amount of air through the system without compromising noise levels. In my Montech Heritage case, it significantly improved internal temperatures compared to stock fans, enhancing overall system stability and performance. Build Quality and Features: Noctua’s premium build quality is evident in this fan. The chromax.black.swap edition adds customizable anti-vibration pads and color swaps, allowing users to tailor the fan’s aesthetics without sacrificing performance. The PWM control ensures smooth speed adjustments based on system temperature, optimizing both cooling and noise. Summary: If you are building a PC and want a reliable, quiet, and efficient 120mm fan, the Noctua NF-A12x25 PWM chromax black is well worth the investment. It offers excellent thermal performance, near-silent operation, and no annoying coil or bearing whine. Whether you’re upgrading an existing build or starting fresh, this fan is a top-tier choice for maintaining good temps and a peaceful computing experience.

I bought two of these for exhaust fans, have had them for around 6 months at the time of writing this. They are quiet and effective. I’ve had excellent temperatures using these, but admittedly I don’t have much else to compare them to. These also include some colourful rubber corners in a few colours and some seals to help keep them quiet and efficient. Noctua isn’t cheap but you get what you pay for. These have been perfect so far.

Quality feel, heavy rigid frame and fan/hub blades, the fan motors are twice the size if not more compared with the noiseblocker rgb fans I replaced, they are also much more quiet at full load. i have 10 of these beasts mounted on 2x 360 and 1x480 rads, + an additional 4 on the side case ports next to the mobo tray, and a 140mm version of this fan on the exhaust port, and with my corsair commander pro set on a quiet profile curve, even while gaming my RTX 4090 OC sits around 37c and 13900K CPU around the 50c mark, my nvme drive also in the loop sits around 32c. Only when i ramp up the profile to extreme can you really hear the fans but that would be max rpm where as quiet mode holds the fans between 1k to 1.5k rpm, and on the extreme profile while gaming cpu and esp. gpu which stabilises closer to idle temps. Definitely the best quality case fans i have ever built a pc with, even though the price is high, it is reflected in build quality and the operation, having 15 fans that can be set almost completely silent while still able to cool a cpu and gpu that is known to run hot is impressive, highly recommended for air and water-cooled setups.

Really high quality build, the fans are very well made and have a reassuring weight to them. The cables are also very impressive and easy to work with, unlike the cheap plastic ones other brands use. I purchased three of these to replace a set of Corsair elite fans that were not only too noisy themselves whilst running; but also created resonance in my case leading to a very annoying humming sound. You can hardly hear the Noctua and I must admit I'm far happier with the more subtle look (ie no LEDs). I'm also convinced average temperatures are a few degrees lower. I cannot recommend these highly enough. Yes they cost more; but given the role they play keeping far more expensive components safe, their quieteness and the build quality I think they are an essential buy.

Excellent fan, superior build quality, great performance and quiet throughout the range. Was apprehensive at first due to the cost but delighted now.

Ordered 10 of them for my O11d XL, they're super quiet, no annoying RGB and keep everything cool. I use them in combination with the thermaltake FP which supports up to 10 fans. I have 3 connected to my AIO and 7 connected to the thermaltake FP. I don't think you can beat these fans in noise normalized thermals, I have tried Cosair QL 120's, Lian li AL120's. The Corsair ones the LED's started dying making the RGB look terrible, the AL120's started developing bearing noises in the fans. I have owned 3 brown coloured A12x25's and have been using them for couple years now without any issues, its ashame these other companies can't put out such good quality fans like noctua. I like noctua but am not a fan of their brown/biege colour scheme, these chromax ones are much cleaner in appearance.

Excellently performing fan, these are quiet and move a lot of air. I am currently using this in a Thermalright Phantom Spirit 120 and it is a perfect drop-in replacement for the original fan. The accessories that come with it are nice although I feel that the inclusion of all the extra colour variants for the corners is a bit excessive and wastefull. I do wish the cable was longer and didn't require an extension to reach headers on the board but I appreciate that the shorter cable that could be extended appeals to a wider demographic than a long cable that someone may want to be shorter. Overall, I highly recommend these fans to anyone who takes PC cooling seriously. They are best in class and worth the cost.

Do I really need to say anything, besides what already been said by everyone else?! They are notoriously quiet. My previous set of fans were the basic Fractal Design case fans, and upon installing these all over the case - the difference was astonishing, my PC went from "Hmm, it's kinda loud..." to "[CRICKETS]" not even noticing it! When it comes to temps, I am running an AMD 5900x, which is naturally, a very hot CPU and dependent of the CPU cooler itself, and a pair of new fans would not make a HUGE difference, however, I have definitely noticed a drop in temps all across the board (CPU, GPU etc)- Considering the build I have, the fact that it had made a slight difference just shows how good these bad boys are. Recommend!

Really quiet and twice as fast as my original be quiet wings 3

La Noctua NF-A12x25 PWM è semplicemente una delle migliori ventole da 120 mm disponibili sul mercato. L’ho installata sia come ventola per case che come dissipazione su radiatore AIO, e in entrambi i casi ha dimostrato prestazioni eccellenti. La costruzione è solida, con materiali di alta qualità e una precisione ingegneristica che si nota subito. Il design con pale in Sterrox e il ridottissimo spazio tra pala e frame garantiscono un’ottima pressione statica e un flusso d’aria efficiente, mantenendo allo stesso tempo un livello di rumorosità estremamente basso, anche sotto carico. Molto apprezzata anche la possibilità di personalizzazione estetica grazie ai pad colorati intercambiabili, perfetti per chi cura anche l'aspetto visivo del proprio setup. Compatibile con PWM a 4 pin, risponde perfettamente ai controlli automatici della scheda madre. Un prodotto premium che vale il prezzo per chi cerca prestazioni e silenziosità al top.

J'étais un peu hésitant en raison du prix élevé pour un seul ventilateur, mais je suis satisfait de mon achat. La qualité est indéniable et justifie son prix, bien que cela puisse être un investissement pour certains. J'ai remplacé un autre ventilateur d'une autre marque par celui-ci et la différence est flagrante. En ce qui concerne le niveau sonore, il est difficile de juger pleinement car j'ai encore d'autres ventilateurs à remplacer qui font beaucoup de bruit (on peut les entendre dans la vidéo), mais pour l'instant, c'est celui-ci qui est le moins bruyant. Je mettrai à jour ce commentaire plus tard, car je prévois de remplacer la plupart de mes ventilateurs par du noctua ! En ce qui concerne les performances de refroidissement, cela semble être correct. Étant donné que j'ai remplacé un ventilateur défectueux, je n'ai pas pu comparer avant/après, mais le débit d'air est excellent. (J'ai même biieeeen plus de poussière coincé sur la facade avant de mon boitié :) ) Les silentblocs sont un plus, j'ai installé les noires car de toute façon on ne les voit pas. Petit bémol, le câble est légèrement court, surtout pour ceux qui aiment faire du cable management. En conclusion, c'est un excellent ventilateur, malgré son prix élevé. La qualité de construction, les performances de refroidissement et le niveau sonore réduit en font un bon choix pour ceux qui recherchent le meilleur. Je mettrai à jour mon commentaire à l'avenir, mais pour l'instant, je suis satisfait de mon achat.

I have been waiting for A12x25 to be released in black, it is installed as the front fan for my NH-D15. It is barely audible even at high RPMs and keeps my CPU cooler now.
