> 3 dayI didnt want to believe the hype around these fans, but I went for a shot at two Noctuas because the stock fans on the Corsair H100i radiator were unbearably loud under load (ie gaming). Granted, the max RPM on the Noctua fan is lower than the stock H100i fans, the temperature difference was only about 2 degrees C under load. The difference in sound is substantially different. While the H100i fans were a higher pitched sound (think maybe a hair dryer on low setting), the Noctuas were more like...wind? I cant describe it, the only wind sound I hear probably comes from the air being pulled through the radiator.

> 3 dayIm not sure on the noise as I have a few low grade fans in my rig that might be drowning it out. But its a solid build and does a better job then the other fans from what I can tell. Also how can you hate that color scheme XD

> 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 dayI refered to my previous stock h100i fans as jet engines. I would describe these Noctua fans as a quiet breeze that actually brought my temps down. Couldnt be happier and will be purchasing these for future builds.

> 3 dayAdded this as a second fan. Works well. Noise level definitely went up with 2 fans. Didnt try the low noise adapter though. These are nice fans.

Greater than one weekAlthough expensive, these are the best fans ive ever bought. I have tons and tons of Antec and Corsair fans that are also very nice with their static pressure but they are not as quiet and long lasting ans these fan.
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.
