Review on Noctua NF F12 Chromax Black Swap Premium Grade Quiet by Joshua Flame

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Quiet and cool upgrade for my Cryorig H7 CPU cooler

To recap before I go into details: Pros: + Aesthetically pleasing for my build, white color matches RGB lighting on motherboard, front fan and LED tape + Much quieter sound compared to standard Cryorig H7 fan + Fairly easy to install on the cooler with H7 fan clip + Various color options for rubber mounts + Strong cooling performance (note that the difference is not more than 3-5 degrees Celsius is compared to standard Noctua fans). Disadvantage) Disadvantages: - High price for fans - Short cables For a closer look: I love these fans. I'm officially a "fan" of Noctua fans (I bet you weren't expecting the puns in this review). Based on my testing, this Noctua fan combined with the stock case fan I had on the back to cool the CPU made only a minimal difference, maybe within the margin of error. With Noctua's second fan, this made a big difference as that fan can put a lot of pressure on the heatsink and the rear fan can handle a lot of airflow. I recommend this product for a heatsink upgrade, but I would recommend that you upgrade your rear case fan to complement it. In terms of volume, I noticed a clear difference from the stock fan, mainly because it has a lower tone compared to the fan. ordinary Cryorig fan. The same goes for the rear fan, which is significantly quieter than Fractal Design's standard case fan. Highly recommended.
