Original local airflow and 80 mm frame schematic for Noctua NF-A8 FLX
ORIGINAL LOCAL SCHEMATIC // NOT TO SCALE

Exact model: NF-A8 FLX. Its speed reduction is by the included adapters; it does not provide PWM control.

Specifications

Frame80 × 80 × 25 mm
Speed / airflow / pressure / noise2000 RPM maximum; reduced to 1650 or 1200 RPM with the included adapters. Maximum airflow 50.4 m³/h. Maximum acoustic noise 16.1 dB(A). Static-pressure figure not listed in the cited product specification.
BearingSSO2 bearing
Connector / control3-pin fan connector; fixed-voltage control, with supplied low-noise adapters. Not PWM.
Electrical12 V DC rated; maximum input current 0.08 A.
Fit and host compatibilityOnly fits mounts specifying an 80 mm square fan and 25 mm thickness. Confirm a matching case/radiator hole pattern and 3-pin electrical support; do not assume 80 mm radiator support from a larger radiator's dimensions.

Installation

Connect to a supported 3-pin DC fan header and configure its voltage curve. Choose an adapter only after checking the resulting speed and the cooling demand; confirm clearance and fastener compatibility.
