Noctua NF-A8 ULN fan - 80mm [NF-A8 ULN]

Noctua is one of the well-known names in the silent cooling sector, with the Austrian manufacturer's CPU coolers in particular enjoying an excellent reputation. They combine excellent processing quality with high cooling performance and minimal noise development. The self-developed fans from Noctua, which are also available separately to serve as case or CPU fans, are largely responsible for this.

The NF-A8 is a premium 80mm silent fan with AAO (Advanced Acoustic Optimization) square frame. Its square shape and 80mm mounting holes make it an excellent choice for use as a case fan. Thanks to advanced aerodynamic design measures such as Flow Acceleration Channels, the NF-A8 achieves even better silent cooling performance than the multiple award-winning NF-R8.

With its super-slow speed options (1,400/1,100 rpm), the ULN version enables almost silent operation and is therefore perfect for ultra-low noise applications and particularly noise-sensitive users. Its superb smoothness, the SSO2 reference class bearing and Noctua's proven premium quality make the NF-A8 ULN a top solution for the highest demands.

Noctua's NF-R8 has become a standard solution for PC enthusiasts who require premium quality 80mm fans. Thanks to far-reaching aerodynamic optimization, the NF-A8 achieves even higher static pressure than its well-known predecessor, as well as a further improved ratio of delivery capacity and noise development.

With its square frame and 80mm mounting holes (124.5mm hole spacing), the NF-A8 is an ideal premium upgrade for standard 80mm case fans. At the same time, it is perfect for use on 80 mm water-cooling radiators, where the square shape guarantees complete coverage of the cooling fins and thus the best printing performance.

The impeller of the NF-A8 is equipped with so-called Flow Acceleration Channels on the suction side. By accelerating airflow in the critical outer regions of the fan blades, suction-side vortex shedding is reduced, resulting in higher efficiency and lower turbulence-related noise emissions.

Noctua's AAO (Advandced Acoustic Optimization) frames have integrated vibration buffers as well as a stepped inlet area (Stepped Inlet Design) and an inner microstructure (Inner Surface Microstructures), which enable even better performance/noise efficiency.

The anti-vibration pads made of extra-soft silicone reduce the transmission of the smallest vibrations and are also compatible with all standard screws and commercially available mounting systems or fan clips used with CPU coolers.

Despite its further improved performance, the power consumption of the NF-A8 ULN is only 0.6W. So the fan is not only environmentally friendly, but also helps you to reduce the electricity bill!

Noctua's fans are known for their impeccable quality and outstanding durability. Like all Noctua fans, the NF-A8 has an MTBF specification of over 150,000 hours and comes with a full 6-year manufacturer's guarantee.
