Noctua NF-A8 PWM Cooling system

The Noctua NF‑A8 PWM is a premium-grade, ultra-quiet 80 mm fan featuring an AAO (Advanced Acoustic Optimisation) frame with integrated anti-vibration pads, stepped inlet, and inner-surface microstructures. It uses a long-lasting SSO2 bearing and NE‑FD1 PWM IC with Smooth Commutation Drive (SCD) technology for whisper-quiet operation at low speeds. The package includes a Low-Noise-Adaptor (reduces max RPM to 1750 ±10 %), a Y-cable, a 30 cm extension, vibration dampers, and screws. With an MTBF of over 150,000 hours it’s built for longevity.
