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

These are great fans, but thats something to expect from Noctua. The black color scheme blends in well with modern hardware, and overall, I would highly recommend these, as long as you can live without the RGB that other fan manufacturers provide.

The most important thing to know is that these are 4-pin fans, meaning they need PWM control from the motherboard. I initially installed these on my old motherboard that only had 3-pin connectors and these suckers were LOUD. They ran at full speed and it sounded like a server. Once I got a motherboard that allowed support for the 4-pin connectors, these have turned out to be the most quiet fans that Ive heard in a computer, and I work in IT deploying a bunch of desktops. When you *do* hear the fans, its a low hum as opposed to a whine or like a badly tuned turbo. I have been recommending these to others that I know who are looking to upgrade their builds.

Looks nice. Noctua quality. Bought red antivibrstion pads to match black and red nuild

Had to use this for the front fan of my Noctua DH15 so I could fit better memory in. Works great!

If you value silence and performance, these fans are really good.

theres honestly not much to say other than just quality Noctua. Luckily they have a black version so this really makes it look nice. Though I think my only complaint is thay the vibration pad only has 4 for each one side and not 8 which sucks for me because I was thinking of changing the colors for my brown one

Got it as a addition to my cooler. quiet and looks good. I like the additional color rubber pieces.

This fan is impressive. At full RPM I cant even hear it. The build quality is very good and the color vibration dampeners are a nice touch. I replaced the fan on my single radiator water cooler and dropped 5-7 Degrees with less noise.

So far nothing but extremely impressed. Always thought of Noctuas as pure hype machines. But I just placed 5 of this into my system and the difference in performance on both cooling and noise vs my previous Corsair SP120s... is night and day. Just a bit pricey for my taste but it was worth it as long as they last.
