Es posible que no requieras estos ventiladores en una computadora común, pero sin duda querrás sentir toda su potencia! Funcionan de maravilla y cumplen con su cometido, son muy poderosas y tienen una presión estática sublime, a partir del 60% de potencia es cuando ya empiezan a hacer un ruido ligeramente molesto pero estando con esa potencia es más que suficiente para mantener todo frío, ya que mueven bastante aire y mantienen todo refrigerado qué te va dar gusto adquirir estos ventiladores. La verdad es que suenan como auténticas turbinas cuando operan al 100% y de hecho baja hasta en 10°C la temperatura de la tarjeta gráfica, pero desde luego no requieres tener toda esa potencia todo el rato a menos que no quieras escuchar nada más. Cómpralos solo si de verdad te interesa ver una temperatura baja en tus componentes y asegúrate de saber como manipular su poder y asegúrate de no meter los dedos ;) Read more

they are amazing. Despite being very loud, i had to limit them to 75% of their potential so i can keep my sanity during very intense workloads, unless if needed.(When the cpu reaches 90°c) They work as intended and blow air very well. Work flawlessly good with my new watercooling aio with 3 of them to cool my i7 13700k at 280w in the worst cases. it never throttles even during benchmarks such as prime95. For their power, the noise could be worse, but the fact that it's a noctua product makes it already reliable. I do believe that another 3000rpm fan from another brand would be much noisy. definitely the fans for a cpu heatsink to get the most out of it. With the right fan curve, they will still be silent and ramp up only when really needed. Read more

I have a high-end Workstation (purchased in 2020) that has a Threadripper 3960x, 3080 FE GPU, m.2 SSD expander and 1600W power supply. When I bought the system, I really didn't consider the fans/ cooling because the cooling for the CPU was a ENERMAX solution which came with fans as well as the case a Lian Li Mesh Cool II and used those. This was the first desktop I've had since early 2000's and had been using laptops (workstations) for the past 8 years +/- since I graduated college/ grad school. Last week the ENERMAX cooler gave signs it was dying, had the pump ramped up to max and all fans to max and my CPU was still hot at 70-90C... Because I remember the attendant at Micro Center saying ENERMAX AIO had issues, but it was the only cooling solution in store that would be adequate with the CPU, I rolled the dice. It lasted me 3 yrs, I honesty thought it would have died earlier, so I wasn't caught off guard completely. So I decided to go all out with air coolers and found that the best was a Noctua NH-U14S TR4-SP3, Premium-Grade CPU Cooler for AMD sTRX4/TR4/SP3 (140mm, Brown) which brought me to research the Noctua NF-F12 iPPC 3000 PWM, Heavy Duty Cooling Fan, 4-Pin, 3000 RPM (120mm, Black) for the case as I wanted new and better ones that had no RGB. I considered the NF-F12 over the other Noctua alternatives for the sheer power, 3000 RPM and the volume of air it pushed just was un matched. I rather have the power and not needed than need it and not have it. So my biggest concern was that to keep all this hot hardware cool, all fans would have to run at high speeds and this would mean noise. To my delight after installing them, the entire system runs at 40C and below and the noise is not an issue as I can run these at 1k RPM and no real noise. I have 6 of these fans, 3 at the front (push-config - 800-1200 RPM +-300), 2 on top (push-config- 800-1200 RPM +-300) and 1 at the back (pull-config - 700-1000 RPM +-300) as well as having the NH-U14S with a 2x fans push-pull config 1500/1200 RPM. I probably get temps even further down if I tweak it further. But as it is... I'm very happy with the results in terms of both performance and noise levels. Yes if you run these at full 3000 RPM they are loud (not as bad as I feared either, but obviously loud) but the volume of air is also incredible. One little difference is because these are "industrial" the fans only come with 4 screws and that's it. I believe it was a good investment, specially because this machine is my daily driver for work (I'm a Data Scientist & Developer for SAS solutions). I got reliability and simplicity of air cooling as well as the brute power of massive air-flow if I need. I will definitely consider using Noctua cooling solutions on my next build when I decide to upgrade this machine sometime in the next couple of years. Read more

Would be an easy 5, but the fan I received was rattling a bit much. Ofcourse Noctua is still producing the best fans ever but sometimes on rare occasion you get a defective product. Currently I'm in the middle of the RMA process, seems to be a very easy and straight forward process. I have some other IPPc fans aswell and they are just amazing for cooling and love the looks and build quality aswell Long live Noctua!! Read more

Excellent product! Read more
