Noctua NF-R8 redux-1800, High Performance Cooling Fan, 3-Pin, 1800 RPM (80mm, Grey)

Very nice looking and powerful fan for its size. It’s a bit loud though but perfect for my thermaltake V1 case.

This is a very great fan, extremely quiet. If you download speedfan, you can make it absolutely unheard.

Moves a lot of air. Kind of loud but nothing too excessive. Would have been nice if they’d included a low power adapter cable to slow them down a little bit. Personally I prefer big quiet fans (200mm) but as I am currently working in a mini-itx case adding one of those was not possible.

If youre buying this to replace the fans in the Behringer NX6000D or similar amp then make sure you get the 1800 and not the 1200 version. The 1200 wont even spin at the voltage the amp provides. With the 1800 version the fans spin but are not audible. If youre using the amp outside in the summer heat I wouldnt do this mod, but its likely fine for home theater.

This might be fine for small electronics or something. But as a PC case fan its pretty useless. The thing moves so little air that for a second I thought it wasnt even on. If youre still using an old case like mine that has 80mm fans youre going to need something faster to compensate for the weaker ventilation.

No complaints. I cut the wires and installed 2 of them as replacement fans in my wine cooler.

used to replace loud industrial fans

I bought it to get a quieter case fan for my old computer and it is. Temperature is running fine after installation.

You can tell by how much air is being moved that these are Noctua fans. As Noctua fans go, they are slightly louder than normal, but for a server rig that is out of sight out of mind. These are just fine.

Good little quiet fans
