> 3 dayBye bye brown. I needed a fan for another build and decided to upgrade my main desktop with a black fan for the Noctua NH-U12S CPU cooler. Same quiet performance just not brown. I did miss that it only comes with 4 of each color of the vibration pads although going back and reading, I see where they mentioned buying an additional set for matching color. I did not get that the first time around. It was not a problem for me as I used the black set as the other color.

> 3 dayMy 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.

Greater than one weekI first want to say that these fans are amazing. I always heard about Noctuas but never needed them bc i was using Mac products(mbp and mac mini). I recently decided rather than upgrading my mac mini, ill build an Hackintosh. I cant imagine build any kind of pc without these fans. Low noise was a major concern when building and i want to say that these reduced noise levels to a minimum. I have 4 Noctuas in my build and i can describe the sound as a low breeze. I honestly forget that the computer is in my room. The reason that i give it 4/5 is bc you have to buy anti vibration and y cables separately!!! What type of nonsense is that!? why not include 4 anti vibrations and 1 y cable in each package and just raise the price by a dollar or 2! I had to wait a whole 24 hours to get these essentials smfh

> 3 dayVery pleased with everything about these fans (I ordered 4). I went with the very basic 1500 option on them and it has dropped the temps as a whole very well. I am not considering looking into the Noctua cpu cooler. Would 100 percent recommend these to anybody wanting quietness, performance, and quality.

> 3 dayUsing this with a hyper 212 black RGB. This fan makes overclocking easy. Its dead silent. The chromax is a bonus since it blends in much better than the older style.

> 3 dayThermalTake fan in my desktop tower was making a lot of noise after one year. WD-40 made it quieter; however, after a lot of research, decided on this companys reputation for quiet and long-lasting fans. Since the installation, my tower is somewhat quieter. Would like a higher fan speed in RPMs, but it seems to be keeping the case pretty close in temperature to the fan I replaced.

> 3 daythese fans made my Thermaltake water 3.0 240mm AIO perform better and be quieter than with the fans it came with

> 3 dayHad to use this for the front fan of my Noctua DH15 so I could fit better memory in. Works great!

Swappable anti-vibration pads in 6 coloursThe NF-F12 PWM chromax.black.swap comes with 4 black, white, red, blue, green and yellow NA-AVP1 anti-vibration pads respectively. By combining the various colours with black or leaving off the pads on one side, the fan can be coordinated with most popular build colour schemes out of the box. Additional NA-SAVP1 sets for outfitting both sides in one colour can be purchased separately. |
SSO2 bearingThe chromax line fans 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. |
Focused Flow frameDesigned 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. |
Maximising colour choices, Noctua’s chromax.black.swap edition fans can be colour-customised using the included swappable anti-vibration pads as well as optional anti-vibration mounts and cables. This makes them ideal for enthusiasts looking for true premium-grade fans that can be colour-coordinated with popular build themes such as all black, black & white or black & red.
