> 3 dayFans are great but beware the cable length may be too short for larger cases making cable management impossible without extra cable accessories.

> 3 dayThese fans are worth every penny. I used three of these to replace my Corsair ML120 pros, while the Corsair fans were great, they were a bit noisy even at low RPMS (900RPM). There was always a constant noise from the fans, so I bought these and they are absolutely silent, when I first got them I had to make sure they were working. The performance gain is noticeable too. I have these mounted to my front 360 rad and the temps decreased 4c on the CPU temp. They come with vib iso pads (multiple colors) too which is a nice touch.

13-06-2025Im using them in H80i and they are clearly more quiet, and the temp difference is only a couple degrees. The pads supplied help make them match the color pattern in your case. Wish there were 8 of each color for the front and back of each fan.

Greater than one weekThe fans are super high quality. My real problem is that the wires just aren’t long enough, even with the extenders. It also doesn’t come with any way to daisy-chain them together which is ridiculous when you’re buying multiple $25 fans. If it came with a splitter then it’d be an easy 5 stars

> 3 dayTried these based on rave reviews to improve airflow and temps in my workstation tower... ended up almost immediately swapping them out for my alternative options. They are the least quiet of all the brands Ive tried and airflow was crap. I only wish I had worked on things fast enough to return them, but I guess Im stuck with this as an emergency back up replacement fan, or for a future build of a junk box I dont care about.

> 3 dayGreat fans. Quiet and well built. The black color is a great change. You get 4 each of red, blue, white, black, green, and yellow colored vibration pads. Also, you can change the orientation of the label by carefully peeling it off and rotating it using your fingernails or something flat.

> 3 dayGot one of these to replace the brown fan in my NH-U12S. Runs dead silent and keeps the CPU quite cool, as the brown one did.

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.
