> 3 dayIm not sure what all the fuss about Noctua, but in my case it was not less loud than the cheap Cooler Master I got for $6 and with the same efficiency. I got Arctic instead which is much less noisy and much more efficient.

> 3 dayReplaced all the case fans in my case with these. Moves a lot of air and way quieter. Completely silent at 50% fan speed. Only noise you can hear is the wind noise when they are maxed out.

> 3 dayThese move a ton of air and they are the quietest fans Ive ever used. The rubber dampers are a nice touch, although it would be nice to have 4 of each color if you want a one color scheme.

02-12-2024Amazing fan! I can hardly hear it. I went for the S12 to use as a case fan. It feels like very high quality plastic. the extension for the fan plug also has a nice looking sleeve to maintain a clean look. I have seen a significant decrease in temperature but I have more fans to install. Waiting on my pair of A14s now

> 3 dayI ended up with 4 of these. Three to replace the original exhaust fans that came with my Antec P280 case 7 or 8 years ago and 1 for fresh air intake in the front. The old fans were just 3 pin fans with a high/low speed switch mounted to the rear of the case. These of course are 4 pin PWM fans regulated by the motherboard.

> 3 dayI used these fans to replace the stock case fans for the CoolerMaster TD500 mesh, which has a terrible grinding noise. Now my PC is quiet! Even when it needs to get loud when gaming, its not an annoying grinding noise. I used Phanteks Halos for RGB and Honbay anti-vibration screws.

> 3 dayThese fans make great case fans. I swapped cases to ditch a 3000rpm iPPC fan that I was using, and this feels wayyyy better than night and day. The only issue I have with these fans is the cables. Noctua thought it would be a good idea to use this strange plastic composite coating on their cables, which is terrible for cable management, especially if you have to bend the cord. I got around this by not using the included cable and using my own y-splitter.

> 3 dayMade this my new exhaust fan. Works great! Just as quiet as my older Noctua fans, but provides more cfm.

> 3 dayBuilt a small form factor pc for my mom, and needed a case fan that was silent with good airflow as it would be one of only two case fans. Under normal operation the thing is nearly silent, in fact I cant really hear it over the 200mm fan that the case came with. Ive been running almost pure Noctua fans in all my computers now because of their quality, lack of sound, and high air flow. Theyre a bit pricey, but you wont find a better fan.

> 3 dayEveryone should know Noctua and how great their fans are. The Chromax line brings the great Noctua performance without their signature beige/brown look. The fans are quiet, moves a lot of air, has great build quality, and the cables are wrapped for that extra quality feel.
