80mm PWM case fan with colour pads

The Noctua NF-A8 PWM chromax.black.swap is an 80mm case fan built around an SSO2 bearing. It connects via a 4-pin PWM header and runs between 450 and 2200 RPM. The package includes eight black anti-vibration pads plus four pads each in blue, green, red, white and yellow for visual customisation.

Compact builds and low-noise systems

This fan suits small-form-factor cases or tight clearance spots that only accept 80mm mounts. Its 17.7 dB(A) rating at full speed keeps acoustic output low. Builders who need higher airflow than 55.5 m3/h or require larger frame sizes should look elsewhere.

2200 RPM maximum speed

The top speed of 2200 RPM determines the peak airflow of 55.5 m3/h and the 17.7 dB(A) noise ceiling. PWM control lets the fan drop to 450 RPM for quieter idle operation. Match this curve to your thermal targets before buying.

Questions about this item

How loud is the NF-A8 PWM chromax.black.swap at full 2200 RPM during continuous operation?

The fan produces 17.7 dB(A) at its maximum rotational speed of 2200 RPM, which is considered very quiet for an 80mm case fan.

Does my motherboard need a 4-pin PWM header to control this fan?

Yes, the fan uses a 4-pin PWM connector so your motherboard or fan controller must provide a matching 4-pin header for automatic speed control.

Will the included anti-vibration pads fit the 80mm mounting holes on my older case?

The NA-AVP5 pads are designed for the fan's 80 x 80 x 25 mm frame and standard 80mm mounting spacing, so they work with older cases that use the same hole pattern.
