NF-A15
The NF-A15 includes all of the technology/features present in the NF-A14 but it’s presented slightly differently due to the unique frame design. There’s no nice way to put it – The NF-A15 looks downright strange. The frame is somewhere between a round and a rectangular frame to the point where it appears to have an identity crisis. We looked at it and immediately wondered how we were meant to mount it – horizontally or vertically? The NF-A15 frame has 120mm mounting holes and is 150mm wide x 140mm high. These 120mm mounting holes should mean that it is compatible with most NF-P14 capable coolers (either Noctua manufactured or otherwise). We tested this fan with our Noctua NH-D14, replacing the P14 fan and found it to fit just fine although it does increase the overall height of the cooler by about 8mm.

Specifications – NF-A15
The specifications are very similar to the NF-A14, as we would expect, with the differences in airflow and static pressure being put down (by us) to the PWM controller.
