Noctua NF-F12 PWM chromax.Black.swap, Premium Quiet Fan, 4-Pin (120mm, Black)

Super great fan. Super quiet. Cant even tell that its on hen running at normal rates. Even when it goes to max speed you can barely hear it.

Tried these based on rave reviews to improve airflow and temps in my workstation tower... ended up almost immediately swapping them out for my alternative options. They are the least quiet of all the brands Ive tried and airflow was crap. I only wish I had worked on things fast enough to return them, but I guess Im stuck with this as an emergency back up replacement fan, or for a future build of a junk box I dont care about.

Great fans. Wasteful packaging. The multi colored vibration pads are goofy. They send you 4 of each color when you would need 8 to mount the fan in a push/pull configuration. I would prefer all black, pre installed pads and then you could buy whatever color you want separately if youre building some sort of unicorn themed abomination.

I set mobo to PWM and adjusted a smart fan curve, as they defaulted to 100% which sounded like a very loud humming. I thought they were vibrating, but I touched them all and felt fine.

Bought it to be the pull fan for my Noctua NH-12US. First off excellent fans, quiet, easy to install, only complaint is it only came with 4 anti-noise vibration pads, 4 of each color but should have come with 8 in my opinion.

good

This fan, along with all Noctua fans, is a great performer at lower (sub 50%) RPM. Anything above that, the fan is obnoxiously loud. They sound like a jet engine inside a hangar at anything over that rate. The airflow is great as an unfiltered exhaust or a static pressure fan on a radiator. I personally wouldnt use these as intakes because they require too high an RPM to consistently pull air into the case.

I first want to say that these fans are amazing. I always heard about Noctuas but never needed them bc i was using Mac products(mbp and mac mini). I recently decided rather than upgrading my mac mini, ill build an Hackintosh. I cant imagine build any kind of pc without these fans. Low noise was a major concern when building and i want to say that these reduced noise levels to a minimum. I have 4 Noctuas in my build and i can describe the sound as a low breeze. I honestly forget that the computer is in my room. The reason that i give it 4/5 is bc you have to buy anti vibration and y cables separately!!! What type of nonsense is that!? why not include 4 anti vibrations and 1 y cable in each package and just raise the price by a dollar or 2! I had to wait a whole 24 hours to get these essentials smfh

Nice fans, easy to mount and connect to.power. no less, just a plain black fan

The screws I got wont go in so I cant even install the fan
