> 3 dayI use it on a Coolermaster Hyper 212 evo cooling a core I7 4770k. Temps remained below 50c on load.

> 3 dayThe best thing about these is the iconic color pallete (i do honestly like it). If you are looking for the highest performing per decibel fan these are not it, the Gentle Typhoon AP-xx is the one to get. Even though I knew that I decided to give these a try, because tens of thousands of people on the internet cant be wrong? Right? Wrong. They are easily louder at every rpm/cfm than my GT AP-13s and AP-15s. Not only that, but they push slightly less air per rpm while operating at higher decibels. Dont believe the hype this time, read and listen to this first: https://martinsliquidlab.wordpress.com/category/fans/

> 3 dayInstalled these in my gaming PC and for the first day worked great. Day 2 one of the fans caused an error and warning message to pop up along with a constant clicking sound.

> 3 dayAcheté pour remplacer un ventilateur Runda Electronics 120mm contenu dans la cage à disques durs IcyDock BlackVortex (boitier PC : Corsair 600T) pour un meilleur silence. Si lon en croit le site de Runda Electronics leur ventilateur développe une pression statique de 4.50 mmH2O donc 2x supérieure à celle du NF-F12 (intérêt de celui-ci : sa technologie Focused Flow pour pousser lair à travers les disques durs, séparés de ~2mm les uns des autres)

> 3 dayThese are freaky quiet. You have to look at them to know that they are spinning. Very well made. Fancy packaging and a ton of accessories. For some reason they were like 15 dollars cheaper per unit on amazon compared to my local micro center. I had a heck of a time installing them because I used all of the available rubber mounts, no screws. Depending on how your case is constructed, it can be a bit fiddly. Not really the fault of the manufacturer.

> 3 dayThe Noctua NF chassis fan is very quiet and easy to install. The unit have rubber corners are an added benefit. I would highly recommend it.
Teaming up eleven stator guide vanes with a specially conceived seven blade impeller, the NF-F12’s Focused Flow system creates outstanding static pressure and focuses the airflow for superior performance on heatsinks and radiators. At the same time, a wide range of advanced aerodynamic design measures, second generation SSO-Bearing and Noctua’s new, custom designed PWM IC for fully automatic control assures astounding quietness of operation. The NF-F12 comes with modular cabling, integrated anti-vibration pads and two speed settings for full flexibility. Its commanding performance, exhaustive set of features and Noctua’s trusted premium quality make it an elite choice for use on air coolers, radiators and other pressure demanding applications.
Focused Flow frame
Designed for pressure demanding applications such as heatsinks and radiators, the Focused Flow frame features eleven stator guide vanes that straighten, channel and focus the airflow, which allows the NF-F12 to rival the performance of conventional fans running at much faster speeds.

Heptaperf ImpellerCustom designed for the new Focused Flow frame and to work in tandem with the eleven stator guide vanes, the NF-F12"s seven blade Heptaperf impeller has been carefully optimised to achieve a perfect balance between power and quietness. |
SSO2 bearingThe NF-F12 is the first fan to feature the further optimised second generation of Noctua"s renowned, time-tested SSO bearing. With SSO2, the rear magnet is placed closer to the axis to provide even better stabilisation, precision and durability. |
Varying Angular Distance and Vortex Control NotchesThe NF-F12"s stator guide vanes are set out in Varying Angular Distance and feature Vortex-Control Notches. Both measures help to spread the noise emission over a broader frequency spectrum and thus make the fan"s sound pattern more agreeable to the human ear. |
Scope of Delivery
|
Integrated anti-vibration pads
Integrated anti-vibration pads made from extra-soft silicone minimise the transmission of minute vibrations while maintaining full compatibility with all standard screws and other mounting systems.
