Noctua NF-R8 redux-1800, High Performance Cooling Fan, 3-Pin, 1800 RPM (80mm, Grey)

So quite. Best 80mm fans I have ever purchased. Will definitely be buying again.

Much better than what I had in my PC case already!

I needed a quiet fan for a project I was working on but it needed to be able to move some air, this Noctua worked on both accounts.

nothing outstanding

Excellent fans for rack servers. Quiet and really good airflow.

So far so GREAT! Very quiet fans.

Overall this was a terrible experience compared to other noctua fans I have received. Would not recommend do to quality control. Its hit or miss with this company. You may get a good product you may not.

This might be fine for small electronics or something. But as a PC case fan its pretty useless. The thing moves so little air that for a second I thought it wasnt even on. If youre still using an old case like mine that has 80mm fans youre going to need something faster to compensate for the weaker ventilation.

As always, Noctua fans are sent promptly, shipped in solid containers, and incredibly reliable units. I build lots of PCs and these are always n every build. The professionals choice.

The closest thing to ho hum beige Noctua makes, its a really good fan, priced for the masses. They are known for high quality over time, and you wont be disappointed at all with these. But maybe an un-intended foray into the lower price point put them right in the crosshairs of led enthusiasts looking to breathe some life into their rig with color and lighting, rather than higher quality components. Ahhh, this market economy!
