Review on 🌬️ Noctua NF-A12x25 Premium Quiet Fan, 4-Pin PWM (120mm, Brown) by Kyle Whitehead

Wow. I was curious to see if this fan is as good as they claimed, so I bought it to test on my NH-U14S cooler. It absolutely outperforms the included (and larger) NF-A15 PWM fan. Don't get me wrong, this fan is also very good, but its static pressure is nowhere near the same as the NF-A12x25. In general, the higher the static pressure, the better the performance in tight spaces (like CPU coolers and heatsinks). I also replaced the stock quad anti-vibration pads and installed the included NA-AVG1 pad (which should work better for tight ribs) shown on page 1 of the owner's manual. I run this new fan at 1200rpm. (it can go up to 2000rpm if you want) and I can't hear it at all and it lasts my i7-6700k between 38-51 seconds while I stress this by doing Folding @ Home 24/7. With the NF-A15 PWM fan, my CPU temperatures rose to around 58°C at times.
