> 3 dayDoesnt pull a ton of air, even at max speed, but its an 80mm fan. The rubber corners tend to slip and slide all over the place when installing them, but its a one-time inconvenience I can deal with.

> 3 dayExpensive but worth it. Used these to replace rosewill fans in a media server case that sounded like a vacuum. So much quieter.

> 3 dayI thought, wow, this is a super quiet fan. Then I realized that it just didnt work at all.

> 3 dayThis is a really great fan. Its hard to find a quality fan at 80mm. At this size, the fan either pumps a good amount of air but is loud, or is quiet, but ineffective.

> 3 dayPut into a 3-year-old HP Pavilion 570 desktop that had a whirring fan noise at each startup. Then I had a warning on the screen to replace the fan. Got Amazon quick delivery, installed in 15 minutes, and - voila, the silence was deafening! Well packaged product, lots of accessory cables, very good quality item. Highly recommend.

Greater than one weekAs usual Noctuas quality doesnt disappoint. Most 80mm are just simply too weak. The NF-A8 moves air similar to a 120mm fan and its probably because of the max 2200 rpm speed, but its quiet at high speeds!

> 3 dayI do a lot of custom builds whether it’s small electronics, emulator boxes, 3-D, print builds, etc. this is the only brand fan company I will use. Rocksolid great cooling you don’t even hear them on.
The NF-A8 is a highly optimised, premium quality quiet 80mm fan. Featuring Noctua’s AAO (Advanced Acoustic Optimisation) frame as well as sophisticated aerodynamic design measures such as Flow Acceleration Channels, the NF-A8 further improves the renowned quiet cooling performance of the award-winning NF-R8. The PWM version sports Noctua’s custom designed NE-FD1 IC for fully automatic speed control via 4-pin fan headers and comes with a Low-Noise-Adaptor to reduce the maximum speed during PWM control from 2200 to 1750rpm. Its superb running smoothness, reference-class SSO2 bearing and Noctua’s trusted premium quality make it an elite choice for the highest demands.
AAO frame
Noctua"s AAO (Advanced Acoustic Optimisation) frames feature integrated anti-vibration pads as well as Noctua"s proprietary Stepped Inlet Design and Inner Surface Microstructures, both of which further refine the fan"s performance/noise efficiency.

|---|---|---|---|
Flow Acceleration ChannelsThe NF-A8 impeller features suction side Flow Acceleration Channels. By speeding up the airflow at the crucial outer blade regions, this measure reduces suction side flow separation and thus leads to better efficiency and lower vortex noise. |
SSO2 bearingThe NF-A8 features the further optimised second generation of Noctua"s renowned, time-tested SSO bearing. With SSO2, the rear magnet is placed closer to the axis to provide even better stabilisation, precision and durability. |
Integrated anti-vibration padsIntegrated anti-vibration pads made from extra-soft silicone minimise the transmission of minute vibrations while maintaining full compatibility with all standard screws and other mounting systems. |
Scope of delivery
|
Inner Surface Microstructures
With the tips of the fan blades ploughing through the boundary layer created by the Inner Surface Microstructures, flow separation from the suction side of the blades is significantly suppressed, which results in reduced blade passing noise and improved airflow and pressure efficiency.
