Review on Noctua NF-A12x15 PWM, Premium Slim 4-Pin Quiet Fan, Brown (120x15mm) by Todd Amarsingh

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Noctua has room to grow. (Please upgrade so I can buy more)

1-Ultra ugly fan colors, seriously, why brown and beige? does not fit any system. 2-They don't make much noise even at higher speeds, they're a lot quieter than all my other fans, but they seem to push air just as much if not more than Corsair fans. H205 kit.3 - I needed these slim fans to build SFF LABS - Ncase M1 mini itx. I could have used 25mm fans instead, but I needed more room for them to fit perfectly. Might buy 2 more as I could use another pair. 4-The only problem with these Noctuas, aside from the ugly colors, is the questionable materials used for the wiring and cable jacket. The wires are very thin and can easily break. I wasn't impressed considering the price. 5 cable braid does not form smooth bends, it will kink and form sharp edges at bends when the wire is manipulated. This worries me a lot about the life expectancy of the cables as the cables are very thin and twisting the cables creates an unnecessary strain. They are said to be unusually thin, even compared to other cheap fans. 7. Those frustrations aside, Noctua is a good (but ugly) fan. Handled with care, I can see this is the last fan you'll ever need. 8 fan curves are smooth and balanced, love it
