> 3 dayI have a Corsair H80v2 and could not stand the noise. I replaced the stock fans with these and it is much more silent now. Recommended.

> 3 dayJust silent. Replaced case fans and CPU cooler. Almost zero noise before GPU spins up. If they made a GPU cooler (not just the chip), Id buy immediately.

> 3 dayBLACK FANS FROM NOCTUA? Runs quiet-ish. Under full load they can get noticeably loud, not as loud as my last ones so i guess thats an improvement. Dropped my GPU temps a bit under load too.

> 3 dayFans work great. But getting them in was HARD. The holes were not threaded so you had to push hard to get them going into the holes. One screw wouldnt go fully in and because you are making the threads as you screw I couldnt keeping trying to get straight.

> 3 dayNoctua of course makes great fans. Great quality and the noise is limited. The rubber bumpers are a great addition as well and look amazing.

> 3 dayIt’s not the best comparison; but previously I had a couple Corsair RBGs mounted to the front intake. Not properly dialed. Droned on at 50dB. After installing these and setting the bios properly. Idle sits around 36dB. Doesn’t break 46dB/1500rpm at 100% cpu load. Very happy. The only noise I hear now is the exhaust. Which I will be changing as well.

> 3 dayIf noctua ever decides to add rgb to their products, these would be perfect fans for SFF cases.

> 3 dayAt this point everybody knows that Noctua is the best when it comes to PC fans, although they were definitely lacking in the color department. Chromax changes that, and now you can get the best PC fans in black, with different colored vibration pads as well. Not much to say about this, other than that its a great fan. They omitted a few extras that are included with the normal color fans such as a few adapters, but I am guessing they had to do that to include all of the extra vibration pads without it being too expensive. My main gripe with this fan is how short the included cable is for it, but you are able to swap the cable for a longer one.
Having received more than 100 awards and recommendations from international hardware websites and magazines, the NF-F12 is one of Noctua’s most renowned and popular 120mm fans. Its outstanding static pressure performance and the FocusedFlow frame make it ideal for use on heatsinks and radiators. The chromax.black.swap edition combines the NF-F12’s signature quiet cooling performance with an attractive all-black design and a bundle of swappable red, white, blue, green, yellow and black anti-vibration pads that allow the colour-customisation of the fan to match individual build colour schemes. For further customisation, a wide range of accessories such as coloured cables, additional anti-vibration pads and anti-vibration mounts are available separately. Topped off with Noctua’s trusted premium-grade SSO2 bearing and more than 150,000 hours MTTF, the NF-F12 PWM chromax.black.swap is the perfect choice for all users who value individual, focused build aesthetics just as much as class-leading quality and performance.

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.
