> 3 dayGreat fans. With the low noise adapters, they are very quiet. Something else I like is even when they are running at 100% (which they never need to), the sound they make is a very low whoosh/hum, with much less high frequency noise which I find the most annoying.

> 3 dayPosseggo il dissipatore a liquido della corsair H100i , le precedenti ventole di serie facevano resuscitare anche i morti dal rumore che facevano.. con queste noctua... che dire.. silenzio tombale, sembra di avere il pc spento! le uso ormai da 2 mesi circa e vanno una meraviglia, le consiglio!

Greater than one weekFabulous product - I have it plugged into a Phenteks HP-PWHUB that is connected to my MOBO (motherboard) 4pin CPU fan header (PWM - Pulse Width Moduation). This controls my four fans perfectly keeping fan noise to a minimum - lovely! Best fan Ive ever used.

Greater than one weekUse these as intake fans. Three of them. Fairly low noise even with three. I used the silicon feet that came with them by rubbing some soap before installation. I also used the Y-splinters to connect them to a single fan header. My CPU is NF-A15 and my exhaust is Noctua NF-A12x25

> 3 dayBuy two of this fans to replace originals in an Corsair H100 LR, fits perfect, no sound at all and same or better performance than originals. Also full loaded of accesories (extension wire, reduction speed wire, elastic clips). If youre looking for a cool-look fan, or super hurricane-wind fan, this is not for you. If look for an excellent LR performance without any sound this is perfect.

> 3 dayNoctua support has kindly sent me a free retention clip to add a 3rd fan to the Noctua CPU cooler. Noctua is the best alernative to liquid cooling right now, adding a 3rd fan should increase even further the cooling performance (I vow it will reduce the temps approx 2 to 4 C), but I still havent had time to benchmark it.
Teaming up eleven stator guide vanes with a specially conceived seven blade impeller, the NF-F12’s Focused Flow system creates outstanding static pressure and focuses the airflow for superior performance on heatsinks and radiators. At the same time, a wide range of advanced aerodynamic design measures, second generation SSO-Bearing and Noctua’s new, custom designed PWM IC for fully automatic control assures astounding quietness of operation. The NF-F12 comes with modular cabling, integrated anti-vibration pads and two speed settings for full flexibility. Its commanding performance, exhaustive set of features and Noctua’s trusted premium quality make it an elite choice for use on air coolers, radiators and other pressure demanding applications.
Focused Flow frame
Designed 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.

Heptaperf ImpellerCustom designed for the new Focused Flow frame and to work in tandem with the eleven stator guide vanes, the NF-F12"s seven blade Heptaperf impeller has been carefully optimised to achieve a perfect balance between power and quietness. |
SSO2 bearingThe NF-F12 is the first fan to 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. |
Scope of Delivery
|
Integrated anti-vibration pads
Integrated anti-vibration pads made from extra-soft silicone minimise the transmission of minute vibrations while maintaining full compatibility with all standard screws and other mounting systems.
