Noctua NF-A8 FLX, Premium Quiet Fan, 3-Pin (80mm, Brown)

Premium

I bought 2 of these fans to upgrade the stock fan in 2 Kenwood TS-2000 ham radios. It is thicker than the stock fan but there is plenty of clearance. The stock screws can be used in the rear of the mounting holes as they are not long enough to go through the whole fan. I may hunt down some long 2 mm screws someday to complete the installation but it works great as it is. The fan is much quieter than the stock fan and moves a lot more air - a lot more. You have to put your ear right up to the radio to hear the fan. This is great for cross band repeating, Kenwood Sky Command, or digital modes like PSK31 or JT65 that create a lot of heat. If you like it quiet you can even do this if you arent running any of these modes. Keeping the heat down keeps the finals alive! . This is a high quality fan and it comes with lots of adapters if you are going to use it in a PC. The fan in the TS-2000 is ground switched so if you put a 1 watt, 100 ohm resistor between the fan ground and chassis ground the fan will run at low speed all the time and switch to high speed when the relay closes. It is an ideal fix.

Used this for an amp with a noisy fan. This swapped in with not problem. Very quiet and moves enough air.

Its a Noctua, so you know it will be a quiet, solid performer. And this one lives up to their reputation. Worked perfectly as a replacement for a stock cooling fan in an audio amplifier. Everything about this fan says quality, and I am continually impressed by just how superior the Noctuas performance is, over what can look like nearly-identical fans. They move more air, with much less noise, than any other fan on the market. And I have found this to be the case with ANY fan that Noctua makes - they are a superior company making a superior product. Worth the premium!

I used this fan to replace a noisy fan in my AVR. The old fan was pretty loud. The difference with this one is like night and day. It also has 2 adapters that reduce the fan speed to make it even quieter if needed.

Replacement fan for Synology DS 1511+. simple to install noticeably quieter than the original fan. Brilliant packaging and includes every possible power cord adapter including an Ultra low-noise adapter (U.L.N.A.) and4 anti vibrational mounts. Excellent fan

Quiet and good air flow.

very quite

One of the best fan I have purchased. Its so silent that I need to look at the blade or feel the airflow to confirm f the blades are turning.

GREAT SILENT FAN!
