1.0 out of 5 starsNoisy, noctua won't help
Reviewed in Canada on May 28, 2024
My first experience buying Noctua fans has not been great.
These fans make an annoying humming noise - the same humming noise my old case fans made after about 4 years of use. This indicates to me that these fans have bad bearings.
I contacted Noctua and they said this is normal? Wtf? I thought Noctua made quiet fans - that's why I paid more for these than Arctic fans.
Also Noctua support is not great like everyone says they are. I had to disassemble my case and mess around with the fans (which I know are defective) so that I could get a recording of the noise while holding the fan in different positions, just so that Noctua could tell me nothing is wrong.
Like I said I've contacted noctua and I will give them another chance to fix it. So far not looking good though. I even offered to pay the difference for their higher end fans but it sounds like they don't want my buisness.
I'm afraid these fans may just end up in the trash.
Also we shouldn't have to pay extra for the silicone pads. Sorry that's dumb.
