Various state-of-the-art technologies and a record tight tip clearance of only 0.5mm, which is made possible by using the novel Sterrox liquid-crystal polymer material, allow it to achieve superb results in all types of usage: Whether it’s in low-impedance, airflow-oriented applications such as case cooling, or high-impedance, pressure-demanding scenarios such as on heatsinks and watercooling radiators, the NF-A12x25 is a proven winner. The chromax.black.swap edition combines the NF-A12x25’s signature quiet cooling performance with an attractive black design and a bundle of swappable red, white, blue, green, grey, yellow and black anti-vibration pads that allow the colour-customisation of the fan to match individual build colour schemes. For further customisation, a wide range of accessories such as coloured cables and anti-vibration mounts are available separately. Topped off with Noctua’s trusted premium-grade SSO2 bearing and more than 150,000 hours MTTF, the NF-A12x25 PWM chromax.black.swap is the perfect choice for all users who value individual, focused build aesthetics just as much as class-leading quality and performance. Next-generation performance Noctua’s 120mm fans such as the NF-F12 and NF-S12A are renowned as being among the best on the market and have received more than 400 awards and recommendations from the international press. With its further improved efficiency and novel, state-of-the-art engineering, the NF-A12x25 represents another step up in performance and manufacturing. chromax.black.swap edition Maximising colour choices, Noctua’s chromax.black.swap edition fans can be colour-customised using the included swappable anti-vibration pads as well as optional anti-vibration mounts and cables. This makes them ideal for enthusiasts looking for true premium-grade fans that can be colour-coordinated with popular build themes such as all black, black & white or black & red. Sterrox liquid-crystal polymer compound The NF-A12x25’s impeller is made from Noctua’s novel Sterrox liquid-crystal polymer (LCP) compound that features extreme tensile strength, an exceptionally low thermal expansion coefficient and damping characteristics that are ideal for reducing resonance and vibration phenomena in advanced fan-blade designs. Ultra-tight tip clearance The NF-A12x25 has a record tight tip clearance (distance between the blade tips and the inside of the frame) of only 0.5mm. This highly ambitious design sets a new benchmark for 120mm fans and helps the NF-A12x25 to work more efficiently against back pressure, such as on heatsinks or radiators, by reducing leak flows through the gap between impeller and frame. Swappable anti-vibration pads in 7 colours The NF-A12x25 PWM chromax.black.swap comes with 4 white, red, blue, green, grey, yellow and black NA-AVP1 anti-vibration pads. By combining the various colours with black or going all black using the supplied NA-AVG1 anti-vibration gasket, the fan can be coordinated with most popular build colour schemes out of the box. Additional NA-SAVP1 sets for outfitting both sides in one colour can be purchased separately. Highly optimised P/Q curve for all applications The NF-A12x25’s sophisticated aerodynamic design allows for a pressure to airflow (P/Q) curve that is extremely strong in the critical mid-section. This means that the NF-A12x25 offers excellent performance in both static pressure demanding and airflow demanding applications. Review: Excellent Balance of Quiet Operation and Strong Airflow in Montech Heritage Case - The Noctua NF-A12x25 PWM chromax.black is widely regarded as one of the best 120mm fans on the market, and after using it in my Montech Heritage case, I can confidently say it lives up to the hype. It strikes an excellent balance between quiet operation and strong airflow, making it a top choice for anyone building a PC who wants to maintain good temperatures without noise distractions. Sound Noise: This fan is impressively quiet, with no coil whine or ball bearing noise, which is a common issue in many other fans. Even at higher speeds, the sound remains a gentle hum rather than an intrusive noise, making it perfect for noise-sensitive users or those who want a silent PC environment. Airflow and Cooling Performance: The NF-A12x25 delivers excellent airflow and static pressure, which helps keep components cool under load. Its design is optimized for efficiency, pushing a substantial amount of air through the system without compromising noise levels. In my Montech Heritage case, it significantly improved internal temperatures compared to stock fans, enhancing overall system stability and performance. Build Quality and Features: Noctua’s premium build quality is evident in this fan. The chromax.black.swap edition adds customizable anti-vibration pads and color swaps, allowing users to tailor the fan’s aesthetics without sacrificing performance. The PWM control ensures smooth speed adjustments based on system temperature, optimizing both cooling and noise. Summary: If you are building a PC and want a reliable, quiet, and efficient 120mm fan, the Noctua NF-A12x25 PWM chromax black is well worth the investment. It offers excellent thermal performance, near-silent operation, and no annoying coil or bearing whine. Whether you’re upgrading an existing build or starting fresh, this fan is a top-tier choice for maintaining good temps and a peaceful computing experience. Review: Good quality fans. - I bought two of these for exhaust fans, have had them for around 6 months at the time of writing this. They are quiet and effective. I’ve had excellent temperatures using these, but admittedly I don’t have much else to compare them to. These also include some colourful rubber corners in a few colours and some seals to help keep them quiet and efficient. Noctua isn’t cheap but you get what you pay for. These have been perfect so far. ## Features - Premium quiet fan, 120x120x25mm, 12V, 4-pin PWM, max. 2000 RPM, max. 22.6 dB(A), >150,000 h MTTF - Next-gen A-series design combines high airflow and high static pressure performance, ideal both as a case fan and for CPU coolers, watercooling radiators and AIO liquid cooling systems - State-of-the-art engineering (AAO frame, Flow Acceleration Channels, record tight 0.5mm tip clearance) and construction (Sterrox LCP material, metal-reinforced hub, metal bearing shell, etc.) - 4-pin PWM version for automatic speed control via 4-pin PWM motherboard fan headers, 450-2000rpm speed range (near silent at idle, powerful under load) - chromax.black.swap edition with swappable red, black, white, blue, yellow, grey and green anti-vibration pads for colour-customising (4 pads of each colour plus black anti-vibration gasket) ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B09C6DQDNT | | Air Flow Capacity | 102.1 Cubic Feet Per Minute | | Best Sellers Rank | 3,607 in Business, Industry & Science ( See Top 100 in Business, Industry & Science ) 7 in Electronic Cooling Fans | | Brand | Noctua | | Compatible Devices | Desktop | | Cooling Method | Air | | Cooling method | Air | | Country Of Origin | Taiwan | | Customer Reviews | 4.8 out of 5 stars 3,219 Reviews | | EU Spare Part Availability Duration | 1 Years | | Global Trade Identification Number | 09010018100549 | | Included Components | NF-A12x25 PWM chromax.black.swap | | Item Dimensions L x W x H | 12L x 25W x 12H centimetres | | Item Weight | 300 Grams | | Manufacturer | Noctua - Designed in Austria | | Manufacturer Part Number | NF-A12x25 PWM chromax.black.swap | | Material | Sterrox LCP | | Max Rotational Speed | 2000 RPM | | Model Number | NF-A12x25chromaxbl | | Noise Level | 22.6 Decibels | | Number of Items | 1 | | Power Connector Type | 4-Pin | | Power connector type | 4-Pin | | Product Warranty | 1 Year Manufacturer | | Product dimensions | 12L x 25W x 12H centimetres | | Unit Count | 1.0 count | | Voltage | 12 Volts | | Wattage | 1.68 watts | ## Product Details - **Brand:** Noctua - **Compatible devices:** Desktop - **Cooling method:** Air - **Material:** Sterrox LCP - **Maximum rotational speed:** 2000 RPM - **Noise level:** 22.6 Decibels - **Power connector type:** 4-Pin - **Product dimensions:** 12L x 25W x 12H centimetres - **Voltage:** 12 Volts - **Wattage:** 1.2 watts ## Images ![NF-A12x25 PWM chromax.black.swap, Premium Quiet Fan, 4-Pin (120mm, Black) - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/91mh5IBa9OL.jpg) ![NF-A12x25 PWM chromax.black.swap, Premium Quiet Fan, 4-Pin (120mm, Black) - Image 2](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/91Eb4q7+jfL.jpg) ![NF-A12x25 PWM chromax.black.swap, Premium Quiet Fan, 4-Pin (120mm, Black) - Image 3](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/81FGP4oNXNL.jpg) ![NF-A12x25 PWM chromax.black.swap, Premium Quiet Fan, 4-Pin (120mm, Black) - Image 4](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/81qrOMOkCAL.jpg) ![NF-A12x25 PWM chromax.black.swap, Premium Quiet Fan, 4-Pin (120mm, Black) - Image 5](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/716NYHfmY1L.jpg) ## Available Options This product comes in different **Size, Style** options. ## Questions & Answers **Q: I plan to put 2 of these fans under my gpu to cool it down, will it break my gpu? thanks** A: Your gpu fans exhaust the heat from card into your case so if you put an intake fan opposite your gpu, you are pushing hot air back to it. I wouldn’t recommend it, but maybe I misunderstood the positioning of it. If the fan is located in the front of the case as intake and pushing cold air towards your gpu, this will help fresh air reach it and push hot air out from exhausting fans. **Q: Does this not just come in a all black with 8 rubber black edges, not wanting the gasket or other colours? seems like waste** A: They only come with 4 rubber edges. because they don't need to go on both sides as one side is being screwed into and so it would break the rubber. But you can buy a pack of black ones if you want to but you will always get the other colors alongside it. **Q: Can I use these instead of the current fans in both my deepcool 240 aio radiator and the fans that came with my aorus 3080 waterforce gpu.** A: Yes, you can. However, you will lose the RGB lighting from the Aorus, if that matters to you. **Q: Will this fit the D15 front fan?** A: the 15 uses 140 mm fan ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Excellent Balance of Quiet Operation and Strong Airflow in Montech Heritage Case *by J***N on 21 January 2026* The Noctua NF-A12x25 PWM chromax.black is widely regarded as one of the best 120mm fans on the market, and after using it in my Montech Heritage case, I can confidently say it lives up to the hype.

They are quiet and effective. I’ve had excellent temperatures using these, but admittedly I don’t have much else to compare them to. These also include some colourful rubber corners in a few colours and some seals to help keep them quiet and efficient. Noctua isn’t cheap but you get what you pay for. These have been perfect so far. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Good quality, great for water and air cooled setups *by S***L on 8 January 2023* Quality feel, heavy rigid frame and fan/hub blades, the fan motors are twice the size if not more compared with the noiseblocker rgb fans I replaced, they are also much more quiet at full load. i have 10 of these beasts mounted on 2x 360 and 1x480 rads, + an additional 4 on the side case ports next to the mobo tray, and a 140mm version of this fan on the exhaust port, and with my corsair commander pro set on a quiet profile curve, even while gaming my RTX 4090 OC sits around 37c and 13900K CPU around the 50c mark, my nvme drive also in the loop sits around 32c. Only when i ramp up the profile to extreme can you really hear the fans but that would be max rpm where as quiet mode holds the fans between 1k to 1.5k rpm, and on the extreme profile while gaming cpu and esp. gpu which stabilises closer to idle temps. Definitely the best quality case fans i have ever built a pc with, even though the price is high, it is reflected in build quality and the operation, having 15 fans that can be set almost completely silent while still able to cool a cpu and gpu that is known to run hot is impressive, highly recommended for air and water-cooled setups. ## Frequently Bought Together - Noctua NF-A12x25 PWM chromax.Black.swap, Premium Quiet Fan, 4-Pin (120mm, Black) - Noctua NT-H2 3.5g, Thermal Computer Paste incl. 3 Cleaning Wipes (3.5g) - AMD RYZEN 7 9800X3D 8-Core, 16-Thread Desktop Processor --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.hr/products/777220915-nf-a12x25-pwm-chromax-black-swap-premium-quiet-fan-4](https://www.desertcart.hr/products/777220915-nf-a12x25-pwm-chromax-black-swap-premium-quiet-fan-4) --- *Product available on Desertcart Croatia* *Store origin: HR* *Last updated: 2026-07-12*
