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

Ive never owned a quieter fan. At full tilt, these fans are not even trying.

I purchased this Chromax Black fan to replace the fan that came with my Cooler Master Hyper 212 Evo. I am incredibly impressed with this fan. It is not even Noctuas quietest 120mm fan, I believe that goes to the NF-A12x25 ULN, but this thing is incredibly quiet. Even at full tilt, this fan is pretty quiet, and the noise it makes is not annoying. This fan also looks great. Ill admit, Ive got a soft spot for RGB components, but this fan on my CPU cooler honestly looks better than an RGB fan would to me. It oozes a sense of authority.

The chromax is very similar in quality to the regular noctua.. except:

Replaced the stock fan on my closed loop Corsair water cooler, cpu is 10-20 celsius cooler under load. Fan is near silent compared to stock cooler fan, and (excepting gpu fans) is the only fan for my case. PWM was a smarter option than other 3 pin DC fans. Im sold on this company and their superior cooling solutions.

These are not much quieter than the default fans that came with my Fractal Design case. I guess I was expecting too much in hoping for fans that were both very quiet and that would cool my PC enough for gaming.

Excellent fan replacements for my h100iV2 cooling unit! Bought two of these fans to replace the obnoxiously loud stock fans that came with my liquid cooling unit. I game at 1440p on a high refresh rate monitor so generally my rig runs pretty warm so of course the fans would kick on at high speeds. While the cooler does its job of keeping my temps pretty stable, the noise was unreal, basically sounded like a small engine was powering up. The difference in noise between these fans and the stock fans is incredible! I was skeptical at first but hey, seeing is believing. Even more interesting, my temps are about 6-8 degrees cooler as well which really makes me wonder if those stock fans are of just terrible quality overall. Regardless, Noctua NF-F12s are worth your money!

Gpu 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.

its everything great about noctua but in black.what more can you say.

I love these fans, they are quiet and works well for my PC set up. Good buy.

they are good fans
