🔇 Noctua NF-A20 FLX, High-Quality Silent Fan, 3-Pin (200x30mm, Brown) Review

I'm extremely delighted with the upgrading from the BitFenix 200mm Pro to the Noctua, except than the fact that it was a bit more expensive. They appear to blow in the same direction, despite the fact that they are slightly less noisy when moving at the same speed. And in contrast to phoenixes, all fans have the same level of quality, whereas phoenixes have varying degrees of balancing, with some producing extraneous sounds while others not doing so; however, these are one to one. The fact that

It's quiet. Robust design, power is only one watt. Did I say it's quiet? The color is ugly, it's so quiet it almost doesn't seem to blow. It has very little static pressure from my perspective, but to be honest I work with centrifugal fans from CFM to almost 3000. So this little guy seems like a kid's toy. It's good for a computer case. Without doubt. Just don't try to suck air out of a hot room. You either need 20 fans to get started or you choke on it. Did I say it's quiet?

My multimedia/study room is anything but quiet. With my projector running, HEPA filters, and a computer server with 10 NAS drives spinning constantly, this is bought media, to say the least. Not loud, but I don't want to meditate here. Somehow, a few days ago, the level of noise I was used to started seeping into my consciousness. The level has risen, something has changed. Luckily, my EATX case only had a 200mm Cooler Master fan. I don't know how long it twitched, but it had a new vibration…

I bought this to replace the third sleeve fan I was trying on the top of my Coolermaster Storm Stryker case. I checked the Noctua website three times to see if this fan was compatible with my top position case, but when I tried to install the fan it was so misaligned by a few millimeters that I couldn't screw any more screws in. I had to use silent mounts but they stretched horribly and came loose when trying to install them. I ended up installing it and it's quiet and moves a lot of air, but I

Replacing two 120mm Cougar fans with one 200mm fan makes the computer significantly quieter. The noise appears to be at a lower frequency, making it more bearable. I run it at low speed with the adapter cable that comes with the fan. It fits the CoolerMaster HAF 912 from the front but not the top, which is a shame. Minimal surgery is required if you don't want the bezel of the case to stick out on the sides when everything is zipped closed. I forgot to measure the noise level in the room before

It has been working for half a year and it is still silent. It was designed as a case fan. However, I used it as a heatsink fan because my heatsink is (on purpose) too big so I don't need a fast, noisy fan. It worked great. Still moving air. I still can't tell it's on until I put my hand on it to feel the air come out. And that in a pretty dusty environment. This fan is worth it unless it fits or you are not a teenager. with the added noise (by all devices) considered a bonus feature.
