Noctua NF-S12A PWM chromax.Black.swap, Premium Quiet Fan, 4-Pin (120mm, Black)

They are worth it if you have the budget and dont like noisy fans. I replaced my stock corsair fans that came with my case and its a world of difference.

Noctua makes great fans. I like it that you can get it in black and the colored corner options are nice touch. You get all the colors for all four corners.

These move a ton of air and they are the quietest fans Ive ever used. The rubber dampers are a nice touch, although it would be nice to have 4 of each color if you want a one color scheme.

good fans

Forget these fans if you have dust filters, mesh filters, any sort of restrictions.

As expected from Noctua, these fans are whisper quiet and the performance is excellent. They look and sound great in my NR200p, a noticeable upgrade from the stock case fans. My one complaint is that they only come with enough vibration pads to do 1 side of the fan in each color. Obviously if you are buying the chromax.Black.swap version you care about how it looks, and it feels steep to pay $23/fan and have to cough up an extra $7 for the rubber vibration pads to make the fans look complete.

As with my Noctua A14 SWM fans, these have blocked 80-90% of fan noise in my PC which I have crammed a 2080 Super into an NZXT h510i. Not the best case for airflow, especially with a massive GPU. This has helped tremendously.

It blows the hot air from my pc right out. It has been a chilly in my room but the fans definitely pump out enough warm air to heat up my room without a heater.

These fans are great, my computer is silent when idling and stays a few degrees cooler than with the stock case and AIO fans I had.

Please avoid any cheap fan. The Noctua NF-S12A should be strongly considered and should be in every computer. The material feels nice and coming from 2x Corsair fans (37db) from their AIO cooler, the sound difference compared to the Noctua NF-S12A is significant. Consider the Noctua NF-S12A over any fan.
