Read Before You Buy Fans & Cooling Item

I just canceled my order based on this review I read. I will buy from another company. Reviewed by another person: The brown version includes a 20cm cable + 30cm extension, a low-noise adapter, a Y-splitter cable, rubber mounting gaskets and a silicone mounting option. 1cm cord with 30cm extension cord, different colored rubber grommets and no other accessories. Noctua support told me that it is more expensive due to the black color and the availability of 6 color overlays. I personally would…

Pros
  • Rugged Finish
Cons
  • Blank

Warning. The fan cable for the Chromax version is a wrench that is only 1 inch long. The included 4-pin PWM extension cable runs the entire fan power cable. The "replaceable" colored rubber pads are glued on once and therefore cannot be exchanged like with other chromax fans. Does not include the 4-pin PWM Y-splitter, low-noise adapter (LNA), anti-vibration rubber mounts, or actual PWM extension cable that comes with the brown version and costs more than the brown Version. The Chromax version…

Pros
  • Absolute Legend
Cons
  • Clarity

It is not the same as the brown version

If fan performance is all that matters to you, then that's very good and you can be assured that you're buying a good product. However, the overall equipment here is inferior to the brown standard version, despite the higher acquisition costs. The brown version includes a 20cm cable + 30cm extension, a low-noise adapter, a Y-splitter cable, rubber mounting pads and a silicone mounting option. This version of chromax.black is a 1 cm cable with a 30 cm extension, rubber grommets in different…

Pros
  • Absolutely amazing!
Cons
  • Some problems

Worth the cost. Best in Computers & Accessories

I haven't built a PC in over ten years so I researched almost every component and racked my brains before buying. Any concerns you may have before spending money on these fans are understandable. They are expensive but what I got in the delivery was worth it. The packaging is high-quality, with a fan and a plug-in extension cable, and a separate container for colored anti-vibration pads is hidden in the box. The fans are thin, heavy, and if you move them, they disappear for what feels like an…

  • Cool product

FAN-tastic ;) best in fans & cooling

These are really awesome (pun intended) little fans. Their tone, volume and performance are perfectly acceptable. At full speed they are slightly higher in tone, right next to the mesh air panel, but at most operating speeds they make almost no discernible noise. They provide plenty of air movement and certainly have enough static pressure for use on radiators. All the black aesthetic is great, Noctua took quite a bit of time! The only flaws I have are very small and do not deserve a star in my

Pros
  • good stuff
Cons
  • nothing here

Wonderful quality, one hundred percent satisfied!

The fan is perfect in every way. In addition to the disadvantages mentioned above. I put it on blowout, but connected it to the CPU_FAN slot on the motherboard. At the same time, the tower stands as a liability, and 3 cm from the fan itself. In idle, it runs at 900 rpm and Chromax is not audible at all. In heavy loads, it works at 1500 to remove heat from the VRM and ssd m2. Only the flow and rustle of air is heard, but not the fan itself or the PWM controller. It turns out a very comfortable…

Pros
  • Air flow; Very low noise level (it is not the fan that is heard, but the flow); Complete set in the form of corners; The quality of materials is on top - plastic and fastening of the impeller. Soft but elastic corners. Thanks for the black color, otherwise I didn’t buy white-brown just because of the color.
Cons
  • Short cable; As usual for Noctua, this gives the impression of a fragility of the cable;
