5.0 out of 5 starsQuiet and Efficient
Reviewed in Canada on December 15, 2022
The Noctua NF-F12 PWM comes with a package of mounting screws, vibration resistant mounts, a 30 cm 4-pin cable extension, 4-pin y splitter, and a low noise adapter (LNA). The LNA is used to limit the maximum fan speed and which limits the noise produced by the fan. I imagine this would be handy in an older computer which isn’t equipped with automatic fan speed control.
The included splitter cable allows you to connect both fans to a single fan header and lets the main board control the speed of both fans simultaneously.
These fans perform well at low speeds, and are barely audible when functioning in this mode. You can hear them at startup and at higher speeds, but that’s to be expected. I’m so impressed with these fans, I’ve replaced all five fans in my computer case with Noctua brand fans.
Cons: None, unless you want RGB fans or don't like the color. A bit more expensive than others, but it is a premium fan and worth the price imo.
Pros: Excellent cooling performance even at low speeds. Very quiet at most speeds during normal operation. Excellent customer support and a 6-year warranty.
