Review on ๐ŸŒฌ๏ธ Noctua NF-A12x25 Premium Quiet Fan, 4-Pin PWM (120mm, Brown) by Jose Ortega

Super quiet!: Computers and accessories

Wow, these things are quiet! They replace the hard to beat Corsair ML120 Pro. But these are better! If you read other reviews that confuse static pressure and airflow, let me help you with an automotive analogy: static pressure is like torque and airflow is like horsepower. These fans have high static pressure, which allows them to reliably direct air to difficult objects such as heatsinks, filters, and near the sides of the case. They are not designed to move tons of air quickly. If you want this, get a fan with optimized airflow. However, they move enough air to provide all the cooling I need. Mine are installed in the Ncase M1 housing behind the radiator, they are almost silent and cool very well. Definitely worth its price. Generally, if a fan has more blades that are closer together, it is a static pressure fan, and if it has fewer blades that are further apart, it is an airflow fan. Please!

Pros
  • Very good price
Cons
  • Repair
