Noctua NF-A8 ULN, Ultra Quiet Silent Fan, 3-Pin (80mm, Brown)

I have waited literally years for Noctua to release the slim version of their 60mm fan so I could replace the fan in my DS419slim. Though it doesn't fit without some modification, it was well worth the effort as the fan is silent in the NAS, and is overall very high quality as expected from Noctua.

Bought two of these to replace a competitor’s fans I use for cooling of an A/V cabinet. Those fans were, in turn, replacements for some older ones that had burnt out after fifteen years. Anyway . . .The first set of replacements were by Cooler Guys. Reasonably priced, etc. A fan is a fan, right? Not so. Those fans wobbled on their axis and created noise audible above an Avengers movie. Not good.Noctua fans are great! Quality materials, good silicon dampeners at the mounting points, and a magnet to stabilize the rotation - nice touch. They also move much more air for the same rpm as the ones I replaced.These have a three pin termination. I needed a DC converter for a switched plug. Noctua doesn't sell these. So, I emailed one of their design engineers, (perhaps overkill, I know). They wrote back pointing me in the direction of a suitable one. Awfully nice.Great product, great people. Highly recommended.

As one would expect from the Noctua brand, this fan works great.

I have used this fan several times in applications where I wanted basically noiseless operation but still have decent airflow. Noctua fans provide just that. They are excellent replacements for noisy computer or power supply fans, or if you just want a quiet cooling option. It has a standard 3-wire plug for variable speed control, but can be easily adapted to just use 2-wire power. It comes with various power adapter cables and shock absorber mounts which can be used in pace of screws on some applications. Overall, I love these fans. The brown and tan color scheme is a bit weird though.

nice little fans! I used two in my camper fridge - quiet is important since we sleep just inches away. I tried some other fridge fans advertised for camper fridges, but they are insanely loud whiners. These are the real deal... and quite quiet!

The fan included with the Synology DS620slim is noisy, even when the DS620slim is configured in "Quiet" mode. This Noctua NF-A8 ULN fan is a drop-in replacement for the fan included with the DS620slim, and it is completely silent.

Fans arrived in good condition, they’ve got all the attachments needed for any setup, including molex. They run quiet yet still move more than enough air for an overclocked i5.

Fast delivery, great packaging and velcro snap box with information. The price is unreal and so super-quiet. Have actually bought three of them now for keeping the Dish Hopper, and external drive for the Hopper, heat-free. Great buy!
