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

Nice

Nice construction. It is not whisper quiet as I had hoped but not too bad!

Noctua Fans continue to live up to its reputation. These worked great for a PC build I built for a friend. Moves airflow and looks good with most builds.

Installed this new fan in less than 5 minutes, performs great. Bearing went out on the old fan. Very quiet !

I have two Noctua NF-R8 80mm fans cooling the bottom of a CoolerMaster HAF XB case. Even with anti-vibration mounts installed this fan gets pretty loud at the full 1800RPMs (not surprising from an 80mm fan but unexpected from Noctua). I ended up putting a low noise adapter from Noctua inline with the fan to reduce the max speed down to about 1200-1300RPMs which reduces the noise almost to inaudible when maxed out. To me this fan is an OK balance of noise and airflow for the price but unless you really need the higher air flow you will be happy with the next step down in RPM(1200).

The product arrived faster than i thought. Great air flow for that size and barely can hear the noise coming from the fan.

Nice, quiet fan. Was a perfect retrofit for my Monoprice 300w amp, which is not 80% quieter.

Working quiet. A little bit expensive, but not much more than others. Very good.

At the highest speed, it is a little noisy, but that is to be expected from a smaller fan. This is still the most silent fan I have encountered at this size. It is worth every penny. Buy it.

Used this fan as a quieter alternative to the Panasonic OEM on my HP oscilloscope. Seems to work fine, though the Noctuas Chinese plastic is noticeably thinner than the Panasonic Japanese made original.
