Review on Noctua NF F12 PWM 4 Pin Premium by Alan Pfeiffer

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Quiet and Efficient

I bought one first just to make sure it was really quiet as I have a history of noisy fans and it doesn't get in the way at all. Cooler for my Corsair water cooling and has been working great for a few months. It wasn't knocking, just the sound of air. The reason I even replaced my old fans was because of the noise and it might get loud at my mic but these are very quiet and people can't hear them when you're chatting. It also helps reduce gain, but that's a different matter. They're well made, with rubber edges on the sides of each corner to reduce vibration, and fit my cooler snugly. It comes with fan splitter cables (Y-cables) and extension cables which were helpful as they were actually longer and more durable than the ones I had previously purchased. They also come with these rubber nails which I assume are for a specific substrate but neither end matches the fan and I couldn't figure out how to use them. The instructions are very minimalistic and if you know what you are doing it makes perfect sense. Otherwise nail material? No idea.

Pros
  • Great for a small home
Cons
  • Reliability
