Another brand's fans being used on a Noctua cooler is one of the seven signs of the Apocalypse. So proceed at your own (and the rest of the world's) risk.
[Like this?](https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/53226924018_62b09264d2_o_d.jpg) Tried installing a P12 Max at the front, though it won’t be able to cover all heat pipes.
Frankly, I don’t know. It’s the middle fan that does the heavy lifting, and it was an A14 iPPC 2000, so significantly better than any ordinary fans, the rear fan makes no difference. I don’t know how it gonna perform if put in the middle, but the idle temperature was a bit better when replacing the original A15 fan at the front. It does become noisy, though below 50% at around 1500 rpm, it’s really quiet.
You can mount any fan - even those, that Noctua claims incompatible, like square 140mm fans.
Just watch out for thickness. While 120x30mm can fit without issues (Phanteks T30), 140mm fan with thickness greater than 25mm will give you issues.
Uhhh hold on, how can't an A15 fit in the center of a D15? I thought it would be flush with the top. Don't go for regular 140mm fans, you need a 140mm with 120mm mounts, that's how the A15 fits but the A14 doesn't, even though they are otherwise the same fan.
Not on this sub you can't
Imma upload here after installing it 😂

yes. 99% of pc fans use the exact same connection interface
No. Thats illegal and the O.W.L. Police would destroy your PC and charge a fine.
Ill eagle, and not owl-llowed.

Yes, exactly. How's the performance of you remove that 140mm the rear

Cool, got it. 120x25 is the size for thermalright and arctic
Arctics are actually thicker - 27mm.
Still within the limits tho, right?
Yes.
go for a Deepcool FK120 Performance Fan. use Y-cable which noctua gave you.

Don't bother with a 120 in front, it won't do anything but enhance the looks.
Where are you from? I have several fans I can send your way
Pakistan. Don't think you can send any 😅
Well, I can but I think its gonna cost me 😅
Yeah so far
