Product Description
Having received more than 100 awards and recommendations from international hardware websites and magazines, Noctua’s flagship model NF-A12x25 has established itself as a true deluxe choice when it comes to premium-quality quiet 120mm fans. 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 editionMaximising 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 compoundThe 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 clearanceThe 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 coloursThe 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.

Sicher gibt es günstigere und trotzdem brauchbare Lüfter. Wen interessieren letztlich ein Paar Grad weniger an der CPU. Sicher lassen sich 32€ pro Lüfter rational auch kaum mehr rechtfertigen. Aber so ist es eben im Premium-Segment. Man zahlt für ein Paar Prozent und sicher auch für ein Feeling und den Willen ein sympathisches Unternehmen zu unterstützen.
Aber man kann Noctua nicht absprechen, dass sie mit dem A12 einen klasse Wurf gelandet haben. Die Laufruhe ist verglichen mit anderen Lüftern im selben Drehzahlbereich hervorragend. Die Performance ebenso. Letztlich fehlte nur die Optik und diese hebt Noctua (wenn auch unnötig spät) im Chromax-Dress endlich auf verdiente Höhen.
Einziger Kritikpunkt ist das kurze Anschlusskabel. Unnötig klobig mit der 4-Pin Buchse und in manchen Situationen so schwer zu verlegen. Da sind andere Hersteller mit Kontaktplatten für's "Daisy Chaining" bereits weiter.
Auch am Zubehör hat sich einiges getan. So sind die Chromax typischen farbigen Gummientkoppler mit inbegriffen. Die Gummidichtung, dass einmal rund um den Lüfterrahmen geht ist nur in Schwarz erhältlich. Berücksichtig man, dass diese typischerweise auf schwarzen Radiatoren installiert wird ist die Farbwahl absolut nachvollziehbar.
Anders als die klassischen NF A12x25 wurden jedoch auch Zubehörteile wegrationalisiert. So sind der Low-Noise-Adapter sowie die Y-Splitter nicht mehr dabei. Insbesondere letzteres finde ich persönlich sehr enttäuschend.
Leistungstechnisch bleiben die Lüfter top. Gegenüber den klassischen NF A12x25 gibt es keinen hörbaren Unterschied und auch im Vergleich zu anderen Lüftern bleibt dieser Lüfter enorm stark. Bei mir verrichten die Lüfter auf einem Radiator sehr gute Dienste und hält das System auch bei niedrigsten Drehzahlen weiterhin Kühl.
Einzig der Preis ist eine Ansage. Wer die wohl beste Leistung bei geringer Lautstärke will und nicht auf die typische Noctua Farben steht, kommt kaum an diesen Lüfter vorbei. Jedoch gibt es einige Lüfter die von der Leistung nicht weit weg und wesentlich günstiger sind.
Die Verkabelung ist interessant gelöst und für meine Zwecke (CPU-Lüfter) gar nicht geeignet. 5cm mehr und ich hätte keine Verlängerung gebraucht. Aber egal.
Ich behalte den Lüfter, aber nochmal kaufen würde ich ihn nicht.
Von der Leistung sehr ähnlich, wenn nicht gleich. Die Thermaltake kommen jedoch nicht an Qualität der Noctuas ran und haben ungeheuer lange Kabel (lächerlich Lang).
Da ich sie in einem Ncase M1 (SFF) verbaue, waren allein die komplett abnehmenbaren PMW Kabel der Noctuas (wie bei allen Chromax Produkten) Gold wert.
So konnte ich nur ein Kabel mit Y-Splitter zu den beiden Lüftern führen. Dadurch keine unnötigen aufgerollten Kabel.
Sicherlich kein Schnäppchen. Aber wer Lüfter will, die man wahrscheinlich nie wieder ersetzen muss und kompromisslose nicht hörbare Leistung will, ist hier genau richtig.
Ich betreibe unter anderem einen 5900X mit EK AIO mit den A12x25 (durchgehend 900 Umdrehungen). Ist in meinem Fall nicht zu hören und muss nur bei sehr hoher Auslastung (100% über längere Dauer) mal etwas höher gehen.
Kurz: Wem der Preis nicht weh tut, 100% Kaufempfehlung.
In beengten Einbaupositionen "stört" die aktuelle (2021) Bauart.
Hätte mir allerdings noch eine entkoppelte Befestigungsmöglichkeit bei dem Preis gewünscht anstelle der mitgelieferten Schrauben.
Ansonsten perfekte Lüfter.

For me, I have two of these fans inside an NR200P case as exhaust at the top, and they've been a great replacement over the Arctic P12 fans. I was thinking of getting an additional two for bottom intakes but decided that the P12s that these fans replaced can do the job as an intake fan.
Overall, very impressed with the performance of these fans. I built in my NR200P in January and have finally managed to get my hands on the chromax version of the A12x25. Highly recommend you get this black version over the normal brown version.
Seriously though, exactly the same as the brown ones. Black gasket, 4 black corners, 4 red, yellow, green, blue, grey and white. so not enough to do all 8 but hey ho.
£30 for one seemed expensive at the time, but now feels worth it, just two fans at the top exhausting resulted in a 7 degree decrease plus with noctua’s thermal paste on the amd cooler. The ascetics on these are amazing if you like 0rgb, the matte black is very clean looking. I also forgot to mention about the noise, it’s dead silent. Even at maxed out speed, these things aren’t that loud, there a great buy from a great company. Hopefully I can afford the cooler soon aswell.
100% recommended for an itx build and any atx build aswell
