Greater than one weekI purchased this to replace the craptastic stock fan that came with the Corsair Hydro 55 QUIET edition that turned my brand new computer build into a NHRA dragster in terms of speed and noise. You know its bad when your wife comes in and asks why I decided to make a server instead of a computer for home use. So, in other words, the fan wasnt very quiet and I needed something to save the day.

> 3 dayVieles ist ja Geschmackssache. Zum Beispiel die Farbe. Die Verpackung macht eine Menge her. Leider kann der Lüfter die Erwartung angesichts dessen nicht erfüllen. Der Lüfter ist zwar von sehr guter Qualität, und wird bis ins nächste Jahrhundert seinen Dienst verrichten, aber wer wert auf einen leisen Arbeitsplatz legt, ist mit diesem Lüfter falsch beraten. Er überträgt trotz der sehr guten Befestigung (alle Teile aus Gummi) Vibrationen auf das Gehäuse. Diverse Adapter liegen bei. Mir persönlich fehlt jedoch ein Adapter zum Anschluss direkt an das Netzteil. Somit lässt sich der Lüfter nur an die Anschlüsse des Mainboards anschließen.

> 3 dayIch halte mich kurz. Bei Noctua stimmt die Qualität. Und wenn sie Mal nicht stimmt haben die den unkompliziertelesten Support dieser Welt, wobei man den quasi nie braucht.

> 3 dayTook my CPU temps waaay down, reasonable size. Rubber ends are nice to stop me from feeling like I might damage anything while installing it. If Im nitpicking it is slightly louder but you quickly get used to it.

Greater than one weekThese babies really put out some air. They are not, however as quiet as I thought they would be after looking at many videos and reading many articles online. I dont think youll find them at a better price online either than you can get from Amamax.

> 3 dayHave these fans running at 60 percent of their speed and they are dead silent. These fans are meant to push air through radiators and they do a stellar job. The flow of air is very concentrated and directional. The only thing I can hear is the air flowing, no vibration noise (only when it is running at max speed but that is rare and will not really be the case for many people). I also bought 92 mm fan for my NZXT G12 and does an amazing job of pushing air through the VRAMs of my gpu and is also dead silent AT MAX RPM!

> 3 dayAmazing fan, simply the best. Easy installation, great performance and includes accesories for your fans. I highly recommend this, and Amazon service, great as always. I live in Mexico and I came here because of the price in Amazon Mexico is too expensive. They took a little more time to charge the payment to my card, but once the payment was done, the shipment to Mexico was fast. Even some guy from amazon support did my delivery date earlier (because I was a bit worried because payment took longer than usual). Dont hesitate on buying this, totally worth it!

> 3 dayThese are great little fans. The only downside to them is the colour, which does not affect me, but some people may not like it for their systems. If you dont care about the looks, then these are fantastic fans for a CP.

> 3 daySi vous voulez le meilleur du low rpm NOCTUA est votre ami, oui la couleur est pas super mais maintenant il y a les chromax alors. Conseille daller sur le site de choisir le # de ventilateur que vous avez besoin, certain sont optimiser pour les radiateurs.
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.
