> 3 dayBrown Sucks. Or at least it dose in a computer case. The grey ones are not much better and they are sub standard fans. These are really great case fans. You give up less form with the black plastic and the multi color vibration guards are fantastic. You can have nice looking fans without rainbow puke. So is it all about the look no not really. They are super effective which can really keep the noise levels down and pump a lot of air. Now no fan can pull air through glass so your NZXT case still is a POS. The air has to come from somewhere. Go buy a Liam Li case I dont care which one and put great fans in it. Quit creating toaster ovens and baking your CPUs.

> 3 dayIm so glad Noctua put out some fans that arent the ugly brown color scheme. As other people have said, the fans only come with 4 of each color, so if youre looking to have the same color pads on both sides of the fans youll need to buy some extra. For my build, I just used the black pads on the side that goes against the case and the colored ones (white) on the inside for looks.

Greater than one weekif your looking for pc case fans these are awesome! I had cheaper random rgb fans from Amazon and those were good but compared to these it is night and day. you lose rgb but you gain airflow and a more quiet fan. just test running these without my pc case sides on I actually got cold sitting in front of them. crazy amount of airflow and super quiet. some super nice touches that I absolutely love is that the fan cables are sleeved and the middle sticker is actually a metal plate not just a paper sticker. this fan has shown me the way of great pc fans. I dont think I can ever go back to rgb fans unless noctua makes them.

> 3 dayFans are slightly audible in full load. For being 120mm fans, these are dead silent, and will surely meet anyones expectations. Colored bumpers are a plus for anyone who is trying to match a color scheme. Uses 4-pin PWM type connection.

Greater than one weekreplaced top exhaust 92 mm with 120 mm and added front 120 mm as well. these are la few dollars more then the other quality fans but I like the cromax anti vibration pads and this is top of the line

> 3 dayThese are great fans and Im using these for my liquid cooling radiator for my mini ITX build. They are super quiet and cool very well. The cor is way better than that brown and tan they always use

> 3 dayI purchased this fan to replace a stock fan on my hyper 212 evo black edition that had begun making a clicking sound. The build quality was great, as is usual for Noctua. It also ran very quietly. Unfortunately, for the price I paid it didnt seem to perform that well on the cooler. The fan is supposed to be tuned for heatsinks so I thought that it would perform well. However, it seemed to have some difficulty keeping the CPU cool whenever there was a temperature spike. It allowed the temps to continue to climb, which caused my other case fans to increase their speed to compensate, thus negating the noise benefit. I dont want to be too down on this fan because it could be that it doesnt match the cooler master cooler very well. However, I ended up returning the noctua and replacing it with an arctic P12, which has been fantastic on the cooler and costs half as much. So, if anyone is in the same situation I was in, I recommend going with the arctic fan over the noctua. Thats not to say that the noctua couldnt perform great in another setting, just that it didnt in my scenario. Thus, Im giving it 3 stars because the build quality and noise level are fantastic but it didnt suit the purpose.

> 3 dayEach fan has 8 corners. But yet you only get 4 of each color. Good thing I bought more than one.

> 3 dayGpu temperatures went from 70°c to 55°c-60°c in some games such as Pubg, Valorant and CSGO, and thats a lot since I was only using a single fan and my tower doesnt have a good intake system (Carbide 175r). In love with the results.
