Review on πŸ”‡ Noctua NF-A8 PWM: AAO Frame Design, SSO2 Bearing, Premium Quality Quiet Fan by Nick Brunner

Revainrating 3 out of 5

Given the cost of the computer/CPU/GPU, Noctua's premium fan is worth the money.

Noctua's reputation is well deserved. My first Noctua fan and I would not hesitate to spend ten euros more if they have a fan that meets my needs. I personally love the color and style of this fan in addition to its performance. In addition, it came with an extension cable, a Y-splitter to use another fan in series, and a voltage drop cable (7V) to make the fan (*or any other fan) spin slower and quieter. I didn't need any of these cables to install this fan, but I've used them all in other applications, including using the fan it replaced to cool a built-in computer cabinet/desk that didn't have adequate ventilation.
