Noctua NF-F12 iPPC-2000 PWM, Heavy Duty Cooling Fan, 4-Pin, 2000 RPM (120mm, Black)

I know I installed a fan in the case, I mean I watched myself do it. I was there, I was present when it went in. I see the blades spinning, I can feel the air moving, but I cant hear it, my wife assures me I am not deaf. Fantastic fan.

This fan will move some serious air but even with noise canceling headphones it has a very unique whine to it that is too much for me to deal with. It will likely get sent back. I can’t operate the fan over 60 percent of its potential without it having high pitched noise.

Quiet, well built, and cools my CPU on a Hyper 212 Evo better than the Cooler Master fan it replaced. Did I mention its quiet? You cant hear this thing over a WD Black when its on near-full rev from a normal distance from the computer. Id highly recommend it to anyone who wants a quiet, well built fan who doesnt mind paying the slightly steeper price. Worth every penny.

Excellent in every way! Solid made fan with excellent packaging and accessories!

Replaced 2 front intakes and a rare exhaust (along with a new 140mm nf-a14 industrial top exhaust) in a lian li case. Temps dropped by 6-12% across all components. mITX GTX 970s had the best drop with around dropping -5c/3c idle to -12c/8c under full load and no longer throttling. Cpu dropped around -3c idle to -8c or so load. Case temp dropped a cool 8c. These were achieved at 80% fan speed for the front intakes which though slightly audible provide needed airflow in a tight case with little cable management options. The back exhaust even though is running at 85% is drowned out by the intakes. At 70% or below they are virtually inaudible in the case but i lose some of the cooling. At 90-100% speed they do get loud and cool a bit better but not better enough to force me to use headphones/headset at all times.

I am currently using this as the main intake fan for my mini-itx build. Great power and RPM, very quiet and makes everything properly cool to the touch. I run this fan on silent mode just to relish in the emptiness of noise.

The hook ups are too short, I had to order extensions for one of them. Other than that they are great, thanks.

Load temp went down about 6C at about 250 RPM lower than the noisy stock fans that came with the Corisair H105, and I noticed almost no increase in sound between idle and load. Cant recommend this fan enough for radiators.

I decided to replace my corsair radiator fans after they started randomly started making headache inducing sounds of a haunted or dying pc fan.( Im leaning on possessed as within 3 months they pierced my eardrums with grinding and hissing that wouldnt leave my head hours later and when i went to clean it and the radiator and spewed out dust on my face and said something about the devil). Enough rambling Noctua is known as the best pc fan manufacturer for a reason these fans push a hell of a lot of air and make hardly any sound while doing it. If you need some radiator fans look no further nothing comes close to these babies just make sure to pick up some anti-vibration fan mounts to match your build.

These fans are made to be used on radiators, or in areas with restricted air flow, like the front of your computer case, to blow air through your hard drives, if you have any, or just anywhere that might in any way hinder air flow.
