Noctua NF A12X15 PWM Premium Quality Quiet Review

I put dopami in the case, no noise was added, but I can’t say that they somehow significantly lowered the temperature, they helped but not much, perhaps because the computer is inside the table and because of this there is poor air exchange next to it.

If you need a thin fan, there are no alternatives, it is 2 heads higher than all competitors. Well, if it is possible to install 25mm turntables - of course they are preferable. The slim factor imposes its own limitations and you can’t get away from them.

I bought it because the fan of standard thickness did not fit (at the same time, the seat allows you to install 140 in diameter). After the Arctic P14 Slim went on sale, I bought it too. Based on the results of non-scientific tests, he left Arctic, because. it turned out to be about 16% more productive at the same speed, and noise + - the same, only the noise of the air passing through the grill is correspondingly higher than that of Noctua. In general, if you need a thin 120mm fan, then this…

If you need a good QUIET low profile fan, then there are almost no options. I took it to replace the standard fan with an ID Cooling IS60 processor cooler (sort of like that), in my cramped case it rests against the lid, while it cools the Ryzen 3600 perfectly - in stress tests the temperature never exceeded 68C. Compared to the regular one, it is noticeably quieter and at the same time 1-2C colder. Starts almost from scratch. up to 1000 rpm it is not audible at all (it constantly works on the…

Other than the price, it's great. But 1.5k per cooler is still expensive. I took it only because the standard 25mm coolers do not fit in my case to the LSS - the RAM interferes. I had to put 15mm. True, the second one was still prevented by the radiator on the mother, so in the end I had to leave one. But it works for two, we can say - it cools with a bang even in overclocking.

I assembled an almost silent miniature system (7 liters) 11600k + 6600xt on them. I installed it on the processor, blowing it up, into the power supply. Not in games 550-600 rpm, half a meter is absolutely impossible to hear the computer, I sleep a meter away from it. The Mac Pro (which is a bucket) of 2022 in comparison turned out to be louder at idle than the system on these fans. It is really possible to assemble the most silent computer on them, when no dropsy is suitable due to the noise…
