Review on Noctua NF-P12 redux-1700 PWM: Optimized 4-Pin Cooling Fan for Exceptional Performance at 1700 RPM (120mm, Grey) by Kristen Simpson

By mistake, I became the owner of the nocta 12 cooler... These cool NF-P12 120 fans came with it. I can't say anything bad about the cooler itself, except for the unjustified price. And the fans suck, especially for such a price of 1500-2000 rubles apiece. At first they suited me, their main feature is very quiet. With the resistors that came with the kit, you can adjust the speed - 900/1000/1200 and 1300 without a resistor. At 900 rpm it is not audible at night, at 1300 they do not let you sleep peacefully. There are no problems in terms of quality. A good cable, a nice body and hydrodynamic bearings - thanks to which it should last a long time and work quietly. But the trick lies in the quiet operation. In fact, this is a lousy fan, the price of which should not exceed 300r. For quiet operation, the rotation speed was greatly underestimated. As a result, quiet, but not effective. Chinese no-name analogue for 200 rubles. with which I compared the noise level does not differ, but spins at 2000 rpm. And it cools better, but it costs 10 times cheaper. I do not advise paying for the name of the company.
