Disruptive agent Wine

It's not noisy for the airflow but the noise it makes is quite annoying. At least as a greeting. I thought it was due to turbulence so I used spacers which eliminated turbulence noise but it was still annoying. He only has a kind of medium tearfulness. This is particularly annoying when Anc phones are enabled, as the 120mm noise-cancelling fan turns off and the noise it makes doesn't work, so it comes out the front and center when Anc is on. in the sff box on my desk it should be gone. In fact,

Ultra quiet good for computers and accessories

I added this to a Meslicious PC build to ensure constant airflow through my MOBO as I am using an AIO which is not compatible with other case fans. It sits perfectly over MOBO. It's still loose aside from the wires being tied together, but it's in place pretty well. I'll double glue it once I've completed my assembly. This provides significant airflow through the normally passively cooled area of the case and creates little to no additional noise over and above what's already running inside the

Noctua is no joke with internals

Rear 92mm Coolermaster OEM fan replaced with HP Omen 30L on this one. These cases are basically miniature ovens, so I was forced to replace the stock CPU cooler with a top-mounted AIO. I wanted the rear fan to be quiet and not move a lot of air so the centrifugal fan could get most of the fresh air up. Wow, this slim little fan fits the bill perfectly. The PC is now SUPER quiet and the centrifugal fan no longer "fights" against a tightly mounted exhaust fan. I ordered 6 more Noctua 120mm fans…

  • chromax.black.swap version with all-black design and self-adhesive red, black, white, blue, yellow, and green anti-vibration pads for color matching (8 pads of each color)

Horrible mid-range howling sound

which I used in my NCASE M1. I have a Noctua NH-U9S air cooler and wanted to place this fan on the back of the case to act as a rear air intake and bring fresh air into the cooler. I was excited to use them as I wanted a black fan and I heard they are quiet. They are not silent at all. As soon as I turned everything on, that fan started making that horrible mid-range whine. I bought two of these fans so I replaced the current fan with another thinking I had a bad fan. No, it made the same…

Pros
  • Premium Quiet Fan, 92x92x14mm, 12V, 4pin PWM, Max 2500rpm, Max 23.6dB(A), >150k MTTF

Noctua quality. No connector fan

This is a Noctua fan. Couldn't be better than Noctua. There are two things I don't like that they do with their black Chromax line. The Chromax line is for better aesthetics, but they still have some kind of code number printed in white on one side of the fan housing, which makes it look ugly. These fans plug directly into a 4-pin socket instead of including a reasonable length cable ending in a 4-pin connector like almost all other existing fans and all other Noctua fans do. This makes cable…

Pros
  • 14mm slim design is ideal for low profile 9cm CPU cooler (e.g. Noctua NH-L9 series), compact PC cases and other applications with limited space
Cons
  • Some difficulties

Purchased for Skyreach 4 Mini. A complete Noctua converter.

I wasn't always careful about which fans I was using. Mostly I've pulled them out of outdated builds and cases and incorporated them into new systems as a sort of "homage" to their predecessor. As I set out to build my Skyreach PC, which was my console slaying dream, I knew that every part that went into it had to be best in class. I first bought the NH-L9i in Chromax Black and was so impressed with it that I decided to use Noctua fully on this system. I replaced the GPU fans (noisy, a bit…
