The classic NF-R8 80mm fan helped to found Noctua’s reputation as a top-tier manufacturer of premium quality quiet cooling components and still impresses users with its exquisite quietness and superb performance. The new PWM version features Noctua’s novel, custom designed PWM IC for fully automatic control and ultra-low power consumption. Equipped with Noctua’s signature SSO bearing and topped off with a 6 years manufacturer’s warranty, the NF-R8 PWM is a proven premium choice for the highest demands.

Proven NF-R8 Design Tens of thousands of quiet cooling enthusiasts swear by Noctua’s classic NF-R8. Its impressive quietness, excellent performance and impeccable, time-tested quality made the R8 a default choice for 80mm quiet cooling.
Custom designed PWM IC with SCD Supporting fully automatic PWM speed control, the NF-R8 PWM uses Noctua’s novel, custom designed NE-FD1 PWM IC that integrates Smooth Commutation Drive (SCD) technology. By providing smoother torque impulses, SCD suppresses PWM switching noises and thus makes the fan quieter at lower speeds.
Low-Noise Adaptor The NF-R8 PWM is supplied with a Low-Noise Adaptor (L.N.A.) that reduces the maximum fan speed from 1800 to 1300rpm. The L.N.A can be used either to run the fan at a fixed speed of 1300rpm or to cap the maximum speed when using automatic PWM control.
Extensive Cabling Options The fan’s short 20cm primary cable minimises cable clutter in typical applications while the supplied 30cm extension provides extended reach when necessary. Both cables are fully sleeved and a 4-pin y-cable allows you to connect a second NF-R8 fan to the same PWM fan header for automatic control.
SSO-Bearing Combining the proven concept of hydrodynamic bearing with an additional magnet that supports the self-stabilisation of the rotor axis, Noctua’s time-tested SSO-Bearing technology has become synonymous with supremely quiet operation and exceptional long-term stability.

N/A 2/13/2013 9:42:32 AM Tech Level: 5/5 Ownership: 4/5 Verified Owner	Rating: 5/5Noctua Pros: Simply the best fans out there. Cons: Only con is that every time I get a 20% off all fans coupon from newegg, all of a sudden almost every noctua fan is sold out and as soon as the coupon expires they all seem to be back in stock. Kinda funny Other Thoughts: need more noctua fans for other projects Did you find this review helpful? Thanks for the valuable feedback you provided!
Cliff 1/27/2013 4:29:37 PM Tech Level: 5/5 Ownership: 3/5 Verified Owner	Rating: 5/5Great little fan Pros: Quiet, pigtail extension was just the right length, the noise/vibration reduction mounting plugs are a good idea (assuming they last), the 4 pin board automatic speed controller is really cool. They also include the standard steel mounting screws if needed. Cons: The noise and vibration reducing mounting plugs which you can use in place of the mounting screws are tricky to pull through without tearing them up. Did you find this review helpful? Thanks for the valuable feedback you provided!
N/A 11/25/2012 6:56:12 PM Tech Level: 5/5 Ownership: 2/5 Verified Owner	Rating: 5/5Great Fans Pros: very quite and moves a lot of air, comes with an extension cable and a y adapter, comes with screws. Cons: not free, brown or tan in color Did you find this review helpful? Thanks for the valuable feedback you provided!
MrMotorhead 7/24/2012 1:14:23 PM Tech Level: 4/5 Ownership: 3/5 Verified Owner	Rating: 5/5Great company great product Pros: These PWM fans look just the same as the older models but with the 4 wire connector, of course. Everything is as it should be for a top of the line fan. I like the inclusion of extension wires, I don't use the Y connectors or the speed reducers, but they are nice things to have. My old fans are approaching 4 years of constant operation and still running great. Cons: They should have included extra silicon mounting "screws", they are a bit easy to break and they were a little tricky to pull into the aluminium case (hole edges were sharp). Other Thoughts: I was really impressed that Nocuta sent me a new mounting kit for my old CPU cooler free of charge. This is the kind of customer service that makes me a believer.
