Product Description

NF-A8 PWM header

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.

NF-A8

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.

NF-A8 FAC

SSO2

NF-A8 AVP

NF-A8 PWM scope

Flow Acceleration Channels

The 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 bearing

The 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 pads

Integrated 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

  • Low-Noise Adaptor (L.N.A)
  • NA-YC1 4-pin PWM y-cable
  • NA-EC1 30cm extension cable
  • 4x NA-AV1 anti-vibration mounts
  • Fan screws

NF-A8

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.

THE MISSING FAN ALIENWARE AURORA CHASSIS DESIGN NEEDS
5 Stars
THE MISSING FAN ALIENWARE AURORA CHASSIS DESIGN NEEDS
The Fan that’s missing in all the Alienware Aurora chassis design from r1-r12. The inside haven’t changed. Still lacking air cooling and only room for 1 liquid cooling radiator 120mm. If u running SLI you can’t install liquid cool gpu and ur gpu are literally facing the bottom of the case with no room for air. Only 1 fan is facing the back side of the GPU and that’s the front fan. One of the only 2 fans in this compacted case. They do come standard with up to 3000+rpm fans which is pretty impressive I give them that. But the noise is unbearable at that fan speed. So I switched it to noctua front Fans and got a bit more quiet but not much since I don’t spin the rpm high on the older ones anyways which doesn’t make much noise when it is t spinning crazy anyways, anyways I notice the side panels has ventilations on it and even seems like holes for you to mount a fan. So I bought one of these small 80mm fans to try it out and it worked it was pretty easy disconnect the metal chassis from the plastic cover it, a single clip like mechanism in the center held the entire thing together, ones I unlock the clip I just push and slide the metal plate off the plastic panel from the Aurora and begin installing the fan, funny thing is tho, ones I installed it I realized there is no extra 4 pins fan headers for u to plug in an extra fan unless u want to use the CPU fan header for the side panel fan or put the pump fan to the cpu header and then put the side panel fan to the pump fan, neither option was appealing to me, so I went to secret option number 3, I use the Y cable that came with the noctua 80mm pwn fan and plug my front fan and the side panel fan into it and use the front fan header since they fairly same location of the case and both noctua fans I figure it won’t be too big of a problem fingers crossed and it worked. Even tho they are different sizes and different RPM rating. Lol anyways check out the temp difference. I’m pretty happy with the mod I did on it, almost felt like Alienware should’ve included it from the begining. Also I think there is enough room to fit another 120mm liquid cooler in the front fan spot with a bit of dremel work u can cut out some of the excess metal chassis and some of the plastic in the front. That way u can liquid cool ur gpu and your cpu. I’m thinking I might do that one day just for fun. I don’t even play games on my computer now. I just like taking it apart and changing pc parts left and right just for fun and performance. Anyways yeah if u have an Aurora, get one of these, it’s good.

5.0 out of 5 stars Noticeable Noise Reduction
Reviewed in the United States on December 25, 2019
I bought a 92mm and 80mm Noctua case fan and so far it really made a difference in terms of noise reduction. I switch Noctua fan with my old one and i thought my PC died on start up because of the sudden drop of noise after 1-2 second of starting up. I can actually hear what is happening inside my PC now due to the fan being almost dead silent.
It feels very weird because i never had a Desktop PC this quiet before.

The Installation was easy and straight forward. It still comes in a nice looking box. The fan comes with a cable attach, also comes with an extension cord if you need the extra length, the noise reduction cord which i used for both of the fans and really made a huge difference. Along with a few other things. There was no instruction manual (maybe there was) but that was not needed. All you do is plug the fan cord into the noise reduction cord if you want to use it and then plug that into the 4 pin fan slot on the motherboard. Everything should fit together nicely, not much force is needed plugging things together. It comes with 4 screws, use a screw driver to mount the fans in place.

This is not really a problem but as people know the color of fans really does not match with everything else. But i don't really look at my CPU so it not a problem for me it. They do have black now or starting to sell black color Noctua Fans. My gaming rig is not big size so these fans handle it fine. The box says a 6 year warranty so that is a plus.

Overall i am very impress with the presentation and the quality. It made me want to write a review for it. The CPU noise compare to before these fans is night and day. I never realized how long my CPU noise was before using these fans. Of course this is the first day i am using them as i am writing this review so take it for what you will. Hopefully these fans will last me a good few years at minimum.
