🌀 Noctua NF-F12 iPPC-2000 PWM: Heavy Duty Cooling Fan for Optimal Performance and Cooling (120mm, Black) Review

Having installed three of these - one on the side with enhanced filtration for the inlet and two more in the back for the outlet - I can safely say that Noctua absolutely got these fans nailed (let's be honest, they always do). I've recently run all three fans at 70 percent all the time, unless the temp is above 55 degrees, then they ramp up. At 70 percent I only hear these fans when I'm standing directly above my server, then they sound very quiet and not whiny at all - much better than…

I received exactly what I expected. These are the first Noctua fans I've ever bought (bought 3). You can literally feel the difference in quality when you hold them compared to other fans and you can definitely tell that a lot of engineering and research has gone into their manufacture. They also come with rubber anti-vibration pads which can also be purchased separately in alternative colours. So I would recommend them to the average Joe Donut Bag who needs to replace the fan that has failed…

I was immediately struck by how well built this fan is. It is powerful, durable and efficient. It moves a lot of air, even at very low revs. Unfortunately I ended up sending it back. But why am I still giving it 5 stars? Because they don't advertise this fan as a silent fan! The noise was my only complaint. It's quite loud, even at around 700-1000 rpm you can hear it when there's no ambient noise and you don't have headphones. I am very picky about noise levels and made the mistake of buying…

I ordered two of these nasty little rascals for my dual 120mm radiator on my computer case. The goods came as expected and were nicely packaged. The first installed without any problems, but I immediately realized that the problem was with the second. When I connected it to the fan controller I noticed that it is not a PWM connector like I ordered. For those who don't know what it is, it's the fourth pin that allows your computer to control the fan speed as the temperature rises or falls. This…
