Review on 🔇 Noctua NF-A8 PWM: AAO Frame Design, SSO2 Bearing, Premium Quality Quiet Fan by Theodore Huynh

I didn't think it was worth the extra price. I installed this on a Dell as a CPU cooler. This works, but sometimes when booting, the BIOS reports that the fan is defective. This is probably due to the fact that the fan draws very little power (low speed) so the BIOS cannot determine the 'correct' fan. I keep one fan because I can't stand the noisy fan that came with the computer. Also, there weren't many quiet fan options in this size range.
