Review on 💨 Noctua NF-F12 iPPC 3000 PWM, High-Performance Cooling Fan, 4-Pin, 3000 RPM (120mm, Black) by Damien Sg ᠌

Someone wrote here that the price is too high, vibration pads made of silicone in the corners are not needed, it makes noise at maximum speed, and another heresy. About noise: at 1500 rpm and such a flow of air, this is not noise. In addition, it is necessary to regulate the speed, few people have these 1500 rpm. needed. I set it to 1100 and it is not audible (a slight pleasant rustle), with a full load of 8 gigs of OP and 4 cores (for testing), the maximum system temperature is 53 gr. Regulate the speed with the help of the insert that is included in the kit, but it strictly reduces it to 800. I use the SpeedFan program, it shows the temperature and you can accurately set the number of revolutions. Of course, you can not install vibration pads, but it is much better with them. In addition, thanks to the Smooth Commutation Drive (SCD) technology, it was possible to reduce the power consumption of the fan to 0.6 watts. (read "Overview"). Noctua is a brand, they provide 150,000 hours of operation - 17.3 years, and I have no reason not to believe them (in the old computer, the fan of this company has been working without changes for 8 years, so I bought it in a new one, naturally better) The price point is clear. Of course, one could save a little on the box, but this is part of the company's image, imagine a Rolex watch for a couple of pieces of greenery in a box from a regular light bulb.
