Review on Noctua NF A6X25 PWM Premium Quiet by Courtney Johnson

I'm a skeptic by nature and have been very disappointed in the past when I've bought aftermarket fans to replace the ridiculously noisy factory fans that installed in devices. I've seen reviews saying this fan is good and generally considered a real bargain, but I've seen that before. I ordered a few of these (and other sizes) expecting to have to cut some strips of neoprene to glue them on to avoid vibration noise between it and the case. The first thing I noticed when this fan arrived was that it comes with rubber/Sorbotan mounting points. Then I noticed everything else that was with him. Normally you buy a fan and all you get is a fan - extension cords, pin converters (3-4 or 4-3), etc. you have to get yourself. contact converter; rubber feet; optional cable with built-in resistor to reduce the voltage/speed/noise of this or any other fan you want to connect it to. Most importantly, the quality of everything was absolutely top notch. I was shocked even before I plugged in the fan and then mounted it with the included rubber bands and everything was fine. This fan made so little noise that I had to turn off everything else in the room to appreciate it. If someone tells you that this fan is too loud, it's because it's installed incorrectly or running without throttling. Even at full speed this fan was the quietest I found and the noise at full speed was reduced with a built in resistor.
