Pros & Cons

Update Pros and Cons

Pros

This fan is amazingly quiet, and at the same time, amazingly efficient at moving air into my computer case. Not only is it by far the quietest out of all the noctua fans i've tried, it also moves the most air at extremely low rpm's.

Corsair carbide 240. Great replacement for the stock cooler master 212 evo fan. Cable clutter is reduced by only having the extra length where/when it is actually needed.

Quiet, well made, freakin' ugly colors. Though they are 120mm (more rpm) these fans are quieter than other 120mm fans. Can also be made even quieter with the provided rubber settings and speed reduction.

It is completely silent even without the current restrictor cable. Insanely quiet. At 'full speed', it's still so quiet i have to get my head right up against it to hear it.

Fans are the best improvement i have in my new htpc. Even with the torn fastener, it still works great. The engineering/construction is so well done that i took one of the units prior to installation and gave the blades a flick with my finger.

Cons

They get noisy when they increase the rpms.

Quality

Anytime i do a quality build, these are the fans i use.

I got 2 of these for my latest pc build, they are the quietest fans i have ever had.

The air flow is good enough for me (it may be too low for others), but they run 24 hours a day and they are 15 feet from where ... Read More

No matter how hard i tried they never went through far enough to give the support needed to hold the fan up.

Price

Maybe a little more $$ but they are as quiet as any i have tried, and i have a box of unused fans that tried and failed.

It does come at a price, but from the testing that i have done, that price is well worth it.

A little pricey being that you can get 2 corsair fans less, but i cant dock a star for something i knew coming in.

Shipping

Got the package quickly and all was as it should be.

Packaging/appearance

You can tell from the packaging to the materials that they are quality fans.

Competitiveness

I was looking for quiet fans for an htpc that i was putting together, and noctua came up as a brand with a reputation for just that.

Noctua fans have replaced all over vendors in my computer case.

Compared to the noctua 120s they sound like a cement mixer, nor were they adequately controlling the temperature.

I will always look for noctua fans before any other brand.
