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

Nothing negative about these fans. They come packaged nicely great performance and most importantly very quiet. No difference in noise level compared to their normal counterparts. I like the black color would recommend for anyone looking for quiet fans and that looks great.

I purchased this Chromax Black fan to replace the fan that came with my Cooler Master Hyper 212 Evo. I am incredibly impressed with this fan. It is not even Noctuas quietest 120mm fan, I believe that goes to the NF-A12x25 ULN, but this thing is incredibly quiet. Even at full tilt, this fan is pretty quiet, and the noise it makes is not annoying. This fan also looks great. Ill admit, Ive got a soft spot for RGB components, but this fan on my CPU cooler honestly looks better than an RGB fan would to me. It oozes a sense of authority.

Using on Windows desktop PC, total of 6 Noctua fans and 2 EVGA fans that came on AIO. Have the radiator setup up in a push/pull setup. The fans can be as quiet as a church mouse and can ramp up like a jet if needed depending on how you set your fan curve. Temps are a non issue after putting these in.

The chromax is very similar in quality to the regular noctua.. except:

This is the fan that comes with the Noctua Chromax NH-U12S. I bought a second one for a push/pull configuration and it brought my CPU temps down by 12° Celsius in AIDA64. These fans are nearly inaudible. These are top quality and worth every penny. Just be sure to buy extra anti vibration pads as the fan only comes with four of each color.

what else can I say, its quiet enough cable length and works great

be aware the robber cushions shown only have one color a piece. instead of 4 like they should. So every corner up the fan butted up against the case will have a different coloring on the corner pieces. But this is kind of minor because you usually don;t see enough of the cushion as most of it is squeezed up against the case. for the money this fan is thou youd think they would make all the rubber pieces the same damn color.

I added this second fan to my Noctua NH-U12S black for the push pull configuration. The difference in temperature is maybe 2 degrees lower. I’m happy with that.

I bought 2 of these for my CPU cooler. Functionally, they perform as you would expect from a Noctua product. They do a good job of cooling, while remaining relatively silent. They are audible, but nowhere near distracting.

Case and cpu use noctua fans but gpu still is loud af feelsbadman. Noctua is the best hands down
