> 3 dayin the end the black ones and the brown ones will both perform amazingly But if Aesthetics is what you want and you dont care about cable management then these would be ok. But I wish I went with the Brown ones cause these fans dont come with any of the adapters or cables!! Just stupid multi color pads. MY Fault as pics clearly show so not false advertising! Just me not paying attention and thinking more about aesthetics then function! and I regret it :(

> 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 dayThe fans were a breeze to install in my system. They barely make an audible sound even when under load. Would definitely get more of these for future builds.

> 3 dayif your looking for pc case fans these are awesome! I had cheaper random rgb fans from Amazon and those were good but compared to these it is night and day. you lose rgb but you gain airflow and a more quiet fan. just test running these without my pc case sides on I actually got cold sitting in front of them. crazy amount of airflow and super quiet. some super nice touches that I absolutely love is that the fan cables are sleeved and the middle sticker is actually a metal plate not just a paper sticker. this fan has shown me the way of great pc fans. I dont think I can ever go back to rgb fans unless noctua makes them.

> 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.

Greater than one weekNot much to say other than these are great, they feel very high quality out of the box and they perform very well, there is virtually no noise compared to other fans Ive tried. The only thing I will warn you of is they cable is pretty short compared to other fans Ive used, and depending on your build type you may want to have an extension cord just in case.

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.
