Noctua NF-F12 PWM chromax.Black.swap, Premium Quiet Fan, 4-Pin (120mm, Black)

Ive used three types of Noctua Chromax 120x25mm fans (A12x25, S12A, and the F12) in the past year, and this F12 fan is by far the most disappointing in terms of noise, value, and performance. Ive also used multiple 120x25 fans of other brands, and the F12 does not compare favorably with those either.

To summarize my points before going into details:

My observations about the Noctua NF-F12 PWM... Great quality. Quiet but not silent. Cools my gaming desktop better than cheap fans while running 300 rpm slower. ie, they push more air. The sound I do hear is much more pleasant than cheap fans ie, lower pitch. Noctua makes 3 and 4 pin in line wire adapters. available on Amazon that contain a resistor to slow the fans down about 300 rpm. Combined with a fan controller like the NZXT can really quiet your system. I will only use Noctua fans in any gaming desktops that I build in the future.

Even at 100% Load they sound like a whisper! So quiet I legit heard my aio pump for the first time ever!

Silencioso con excelente ingenieria, un poco caros pero valen la pena...
