Noctua NF-A15 HS-PWM chromax.Black.swap, Premium Quiet Fan, 4-Pin (140mm, Black)

Amazing Noctua performance with an awesome look! I have two of these on my Noctua NH-D15s keeping my Ryzen 7 3800X icy cool

I had been running the Noctua nh-u14s on my previous system which was the i7-6900K overclocked to 4.3GHz. I had dual brown fans on it, but with my recent upgrade to the Ryzen 7 5800X, I decided to buy this fan as the puller because it has 300 rpms more.

I ordered 3 of these and they are great. 1 fan was clearly used and missing parts. Other than that they are quite and move lots of air.

At first I was concerned about its size but it fits right into my cabinet next to the Noctura Noctua nh-d15. Good quality, bring all the extra brackets and cables. recommended.

They can be noisy at full speed, but you get them for that overhead. And with a 3090 rtx non water cooled and vram toaster chips on the backplate, you should at least get this to move that air away. At 50-60% speed it’s inaudible.

Took a $90 cooler and made it $150, but kind of worth it, since that brown is hideous. I put two fans on that cooler and get decent thermals for a hot room upstairs. I have it in a push-through config. Where the the intake is one one side and the exhaust is on the other side in line with the airflow of my case. Barely cracking 50C running Cinebench or any other benchmarking test for that matter since I paired it with a giant case as well. They work great, dont really push a lot of air. I have all noctua fans where I can (save GPU and PSU, didnt have control over those fans). And while its really quiet at full blast, its barely pushing 3MPH of wind. My 140mm Industrial is pushing nearly 6MPH and both are technically the same size. Didnt know giong from 2600RPM to 3000RPM was a drastic change like that. OTHER than that it was pretty easy to install. The clips can be finicky, but are secure when on. Helps go with the blackout theme I was going for with this case, even though the heat sink is still very much silver, and theres silver on the Zenith II Extreme Alpha, so its not a total blackout, but good enough. As long as it works and keeps tems down, thats all I care about. And it does do that, well.
