Product Description
The NF-A20 is a highly optimised, premium quality quiet 200mm fan. Featuring an AAO (Advanced Acoustic Optimisation) standard frame as well as sophisticated aerodynamic design measures such as Flow Acceleration Channels, the NF-A20 brings the renowned quiet cooling performance of Noctua’s award-winning A-series to the increasingly popular 20cm form factor. The PWM version uses Noctua’s custom designed NE-FD1 IC for fully automatic speed control via 4-pin fan headers, which allows it to strike a perfect balance between quietness and ventilation performance in each given situation. Its superb running smoothness, reference-class SSO2 bearing and Noctua’s trusted premium quality make the NF-A20 an elite choice for the highest demands.
Award-winning Noctua quality in 20cm size
While more and more PC cases support 20cm intake, side-panel or exhaust fans, many of the bundled stock units and available aftermarket options are of questionable quality. By contrast, the NF-A20 is a true premium grade solution worthy of Noctua’s award-winning A-series.
Caution: As there is no fixed industry standard for the shape, thickness or hole spacing of 200mm, 220mm, 230mm or 250mm fans, compatibility can vary from case to case. Please check compatibily before purchase. A case compatibility list can be found on the Noctua website.

|---|---|---|---|
Flow Acceleration ChannelsThe NF-A20 impeller features suction side Flow Acceleration Channels. By speeding up the airflow at the crucial outer blade regions, this measure reduces suction side flow separation and thus leads to better efficiency and lower vortex noise. |
SSO2 bearingThe NF-A20 features the further optimised second generation of Noctua's renowned, time-tested SSO bearing. With SSO2, the rear magnet is placed closer to the axis to provide even better stabilisation, precision and durability. |
154mm, 110x180mm and 170mm hole spacingIn order to ensure broad compatibility with today’s PC cases, the NF-A20 features three sets of mounting holes: While the 154x154mm and 110x180mm spacing allow it to replace most 200mm fans, the 170x170mm spacing is used by many 230 and 250mm fans, which can thus also be replaced by the NF-A20. |

Please Note:

Quite even running at full speed, moves a lot of air.
Well worth the price.
These fans are pretty much the only 200mm fan that will fit in the H500, and either you get screws long enough (I was stupid and ordered screws that were still too short lol) or use the included rubber mounting solution. Took a bit of work but the rubber mounting solution seems to work just fine, and no more rubbing noise.
If you're looking for value - it's not here, but if you're looking for just the best damn fan man can find, Noctua fans are it.
Performance and Quality. The fan is well built, attractive and performs excellently, as one would expect from Noctua. Even at full speed, the fan is barely audible - much quieter than my stock Intel CPU fan even at idle speeds. As a PWM fan, of course, it doesn't have to run at full speed. I'm normally running it at about 60% and I never even hear it. It effectively cools my system built on an Intel 65W Core i5 running at stock speeds, 16 GB RAM, Samsung 970 Plus M.2 SSD and 2 Samsung 860 SATA SSDs.
Installation: Use the inner set of mounting holes on the Noctua NF-A-20. They align perfectly with the mounting holes used for the stock fan and make it possible to use the original mounting screws that came with the case. The Noctua fan is a hair thicker than the stock fan, potentially bumping it up against the front cover of the case. I removed the rubber vibration dampers from the Noctua fan just to be sure I had sufficient clearance. Absolutely no issues with vibration noise. I mounted the fan so that the wiring passed through front wall of the of the case by the small rectangular cutout at the bottom. It was close, but the wiring can enter this way with no pinching or rubbing of the wires. If you are happy with the wires entering through the top of the case, that path is wide open. Mounting the fan with the wiring on the side, though, may pinch the wires. Mounting the fan as I did, I needed the included 4 pin extension cable to reach the fan header on my motherboard.
Would make a really cool office fan in the summer as it pushes plenty of air.
How I used the Product:
I cut a hole in a closet wall, installed the fan, hung a picture on the other side to hide the fan but still allow air flow, and placed a gaming laptop in the closet. Looks great, extremely quiet, and keeps the closet cool as the gaming laptop is a small and loud space heater.
I was hesitant to buy this particular fan due to many reviews stating this fan being oversized and not fitting, plus my case wasn't listed on the official compatibility table either.
But there are not a lot of good options for 200mm fans and most had some kind of flaw.
The Noctua's are touted as the best on the market and the only flaw seemed to be its size. So I went ahead and chanced it, with the plan to return it for 2 smaller fans if it didn't fit.
To my surprise, it fit great! The screw holes were only slightly off and I was able to install with no issues.
The fan comes with several different mounting options - standard mounting screws and also 2 styles of anti-vibration mounts. I went with the anti-vibration mounts which made installation even easier since you just pull the flexible strands thru the holes, no tools required. It took longer to figure out how to take my case apart to get to the top fan than actually installing it.
Turned on the PC and no more grinding sound! I'm about a week in, so will be interesting to see how things are a month/year down the road, but so far this thing is quiet and provides great airflow. Definitely lives up to its reputation.
-Silent due to pushing good air at low RPMs
-comes with an extension and even a low noise adapter to force its max RPM to be lower if needed
-Price isn't bad considering the quality
Cons:
-Very thick which can cause an issue in some cases
Awesome quality fan that I have no issues recommending to people if that are in the market for a good quality low noise fan.
Side note for fitting in the Cooler Master h500 case:
It fits in the top if you remove the rubber bits on the corner (other wise they'll fold due to pushing), then line it up so when you shove it in then it'll basically be where the holes are lol Yes I said shove it in. You have to force it in, but no worries it won't break the case nor the fan. Secure it with screws in the fan box instead of the silicone options. The Case wasn't made to accommodate a 200mm of this thickness, but it will still work. Just make sure you have the fan oriented the right direction ahead of time so you can have enough room to plug it in, though it does come with a nice extension that I did use for tidy cabling purposes.
I did not try the front fan section since there are no mounting standards for 200mm fans. Since the top was a very tight squeeze, there was obviously no planning around making Noctua's 200mm fans fit.
