NF-F12 PWM

I have a corsair 800D with a swiftech mcr360 radiator up top and swiftech mcp655b cooling a FX-8350. I've tried several different fans on the radiator, Xigmatek, Corsair, and Scythe to name a few. I haven't been impressed with any of them as far as noise and cooling temps. The Corsair were by far the loudest but cooled maybe a couple degrees more. The Xigmateks and Scythe were about the same temps, but Scythe being noticeably quieter. Then came these.. The main benefit of these over the others is the static pressure. More static pressure is important when put up against resistance, like a radiator. As a straight case fan it probably wouldn't matter nearly as much. However the 2.61mm/H20 rating of these is nearly twice as much as the other fans I had. Especially considering it's 2.61 @ 22.4 dBa. Corsair does have a "High Performance" 120mm fan that I don't have, it's rated at 3.1mm/H20, however at 35 dBa. Other highlights are : * The fin notches on the back, actually work. They change the frequency of the "air" noise which makes it much less annoying. I recommended these fans to two other people, and they both agree that this effect is very noticeable. * 22 dBa @ 1500rpm, 2.61mm/H20, 93.4m3/h (55cfm). * 6 Year manufacturer warranty. Pretty much unheard of when it comes to fans. Cheap fans generally last 1-5years I've found, in a 24hr environment. * PWM interface, hooks up to motherboard headers for great fan control. Results : * I don't bother with the LNA adapters, there's no point since it can be better controlled with your mobo. My fancontrol daemon usually keeps these running at 600-800rpm at idle. Which are more silent then everything else in my case, and my room for that matter. They're still what I would consider "uber quiet" up to about 1200rpm. * They keep my FX-8350 overclocked at 4.6ghz around 18-22°c at idle ( around 20°c room temp average ). At max load it reaches around 50-54°c. This is consistently 8-10° cooler then my Corsairs previous to this, with no other changes made to the system. * The noise they do make is just air noise, you don't hear the bearings like cheap fans. In my opinion the air noise seems to be at a lower frequency, more "acceptable" then usual fans. * 22dBa is optimistic when ran outside a case. Inside a case and up against a radiator it's definitely louder. Standard ambient noise temperature in a room is around 30-35dBa I've found, at max speed these run around 1475rpm and my case puts out 40dBa at 1m. This is "near silent" to most people in an average room/office environment. To compare my Corsairs were around 45dBa in the same test, yet cooled significantly worse. Dislikes : * The color. What everyone complains about. I realize it's their unique hallmark, but to be honest it's extremely rude to force that upon people. A simple black or grey would be significantly more universally acceptable. * The price. 20$ is a bit much. My next most expensive 120mm cost 10$. Sure these have a warranty that last more then twice as long, doesn't mean the 10$ Scythe's wouldn't last that long though. They do cool significantly better at lower noise, on the other hand. So it's balancing if the top-end quality fans are worth it in your situation. I would definitely recommend these to anyone that needs a quiet to high performance ratio in a radiator fan, and has the money to spend. In my opinion these are simply the best fans out there, in an all around sense.

TL;DR -------------------------- Fans are awesome, buy them, period. The none TL;DR version -------------------------- ~Background~ I had purchased a H100 Water Cooler (from Corsair) a while back for a Phenom II x6 (3.3GHz), the cooling was fantastic but the stock fans were very loud and could be heard a mile away (ok, outside the room). ~The Fans~ I had never heard of Noctua before but after searching around I could not find a single complaint/review about them, excluding the price (however we will discuss this later). I decided two order 2 for the H100. With just two Noctua fans I was able to remove 4 stock fans from my case and keep the relatively same temp. The idle temp when up about 2°C however I can not hear them at all, in fact the only noise coming from the case now are the other 2 fans (1x120mm and 1x200mm, both stock). I may have said that the temps went up 2°C however on full load the temps are the same from my last configuration (4 fans). I had read many reviews that it perform better on load and I can easily confirm that, in fact I think they perform better than before. ~The Price~ I managed to snag these fans for $22.99 (each) however it was WELL WORTH IT. I have never owned fans of this quality and Noctua really has the science down, Fin design, Ball-Bearings in casing the fan shaft, rubber corners to remove vibrations, even rubber screws if you not mounting to a water cooler to reduce the vibration. Noctua has really thought of it all and deserve much more praise. These guys are not just designers, they are enthusiasts and are proud of what they built. ~Finial Note~ I recently orders a new case with better fan arrangement and I'm seriously thinking of replacing all the fans with the NF-F112's. They may be $22.99 and took over 2 weeks to deliver but I honestly can't say anything bad after about a week and a half of use, they are amazing. Buy them, period.

Well packaged - well built, with good accessories. Used on a radiator for a AIO (old Antec Kuhler 620) <1000RPM not very audible, ie, you need to hold your breathe to hear it, if at all when in a tower pc situated 1m from the desk. >1000-1200RPM gentle whirr, you can hear it but the pitch/tone is not offensive. Replaced a Antec Fan on a radiator, night and day difference. To be honest, it highlights everything else that makes noise as this is so quiet. Mechanical HDDs are now audible, the GPU fans are more noticeable

Satın alabileceğiniz en iyi fan. Her şeyiyle birlikte geliyor uzatma kablosu y kablosu düşük voltaj kablosu. Plastik vidalar, alüminyum vidalar kalitesini belli ediyor teslim tarihi 2 Mayıs'ta 24 Nisan'da elime ulaştı.

Best to mix with other Noctua Fans given its cheaper

I bought two of these to replace the stock fans on a Antec Kuhler H2O 920, cooling an i7 3770K, not currently overclocked (breaking in the Arctic Silver 5), but I have confidence that this cooling solution will more than handle it. The fans are more than I could have hoped for; quieter than the (very quiet) Kuhler pump at low speeds, running down to about 120 RPM, and still pretty quiet at full tilt, achieving a steady average 1500 RPM with less than the stated 10% variation. The comparison to the stock fans supplied with the Kuhler is stark, in addition to being far quieter, the sound at top speed is subjectively 'more pleasant'; a background hum rather than an aircraft throttling up for take-off! The accessories supplied with this fan are second-to-none. The short cables fitted to the fan worked perfectly with the connectors from the Kuhler, allowing tidy cable management, but the neatly sheathed extensions came in handy for tidying the cabling for the other case fans away behind the motherboard tray. The Y-connector would be very useful if you had fewer PWM headers on your motherboard than case fan mounting options, and the LNA (Low Noise Adapter) if your motherboard did not allow you to limit the top speed. The mounting options are similarly well thought out, with vibration damping mounting cones to complement the (removeable) silicone corner mounts on the fan itself, as well as conventional fan screws. If I had to find anything at all wrong with these fans the only thing I could mention would be that the silicone corner mounts made it slightly tricky to get the mounting bolts for the radiator engaged, as they add a little extra width. Once the first bolt was located and tightened a turn or so the others went in fine though, and the compression in the mounts allowed them to be tightened securely. This really is a clutch-at-straws to nit-pick however! In summary, these are excellent fans, which do the job asked of them to a very high standard, all whilst remaining extremely quiet, and leaving you with a nice little handful of spares to use elsewhere in your PC build. Well worth every penny!
