> 24 hourI actually use these as my chassis fans in my new build PC which is actually just an oversight since I was not aware that the A12/14 fans are for chassis use and even quieter (these are designed with radiator and pc towers). Honestly, I love these fans and really find them extremely quiet. They are so efficient (I do have plenty in my pc for abundant air flow) that they rarely hit top speed and even then are still very quiet. I actually used my bios to crank them up just to listen and they are great. I do not use any crazy RBG setup so have nice discreet black fans are perfect. Great product.

> 24 hourOverall these are the best case fans Ive ever used. Not the most aesthetically pleasing but damn, they have excellent flow with minimal noise.

> 24 hourThese are plain and simply the best fans that money can buy. Dont bother with RGB fans that cost more and require more cable management. These look classy, are color-customizable with the included anti-vibration pads, perform well under any scenario (airflow or static pressure), and are nearly inaudible at all times. (theyre not even that loud at 100% speed, and Im extremely sensitive to noise). I purchased 3 for the radiator on my custom loop, and Im likely going to purchase more for my case in the future. They are worth the money.

> 24 hourAt this point everybody knows that Noctua is the best when it comes to PC fans, although they were definitely lacking in the color department. Chromax changes that, and now you can get the best PC fans in black, with different colored vibration pads as well. Not much to say about this, other than that its a great fan. They omitted a few extras that are included with the normal color fans such as a few adapters, but I am guessing they had to do that to include all of the extra vibration pads without it being too expensive. My main gripe with this fan is how short the included cable is for it, but you are able to swap the cable for a longer one.

> 24 hourExcellent static pressure fans for my custom loops! Quiet, effective, and now in black! I’ve built 7 custom loops using these fans. My beast of a rig has 6 120mm in push/pull on the top with Hardware labs 360 GTS and on the side, I have 3 140mm on a 420 GTS.

> 24 hourI love these fans. My build is completely silent even at full CPU load. (I can hear it if the fans are at 100%, but they do not need to ever spin that fast to cool the PC under load)

> 24 hourNothing can beat Noctua. I needed some fans that pushed air better in the Mini ITX build I was working on. They looked great in my NZXT 200i case. Their rpms and build quality are nothing less than the best on the market. The performance gained from these fans outweighed the pros of owning the corsair LL fans. If you swear by rgb get Phanteks rgb fan covers or use some light strips. Your expensive equipment deserves to be babied! Keep those temps low with these fans! :)

Swappable anti-vibration pads in 6 coloursThe NF-F12 PWM chromax.black.swap comes with 4 black, white, red, blue, green and yellow NA-AVP1 anti-vibration pads respectively. By combining the various colours with black or leaving off the pads on one side, the fan can be coordinated with most popular build colour schemes out of the box. Additional NA-SAVP1 sets for outfitting both sides in one colour can be purchased separately. |
SSO2 bearingThe chromax line fans feature 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. |
Varying Angular Distance and Vortex Control NotchesThe NF-F12"s stator guide vanes are set out in Varying Angular Distance and feature Vortex-Control Notches. Both measures help to spread the noise emission over a broader frequency spectrum and thus make the fan"s sound pattern more agreeable to the human ear. |
Focused Flow frameDesigned for pressure demanding applications such as heatsinks and radiators, the Focused Flow frame features eleven stator guide vanes that straighten, channel and focus the airflow, which allows the NF-F12 to rival the performance of conventional fans running at much faster speeds. |
Maximising colour choices, Noctua’s chromax.black.swap edition fans can be colour-customised using the included swappable anti-vibration pads as well as optional anti-vibration mounts and cables. This makes them ideal for enthusiasts looking for true premium-grade fans that can be colour-coordinated with popular build themes such as all black, black & white or black & red.
