Testing a high-end fan such as the Noctua NF-F12 is tricky and somewhat inaccurate given the tolerances of both a silent cooling device and the harsh environment found inside every computer case. For our testing we decided to see how well this fan could c...
While the Noctua NF-F12 PWM weren't able to outperform the stock fans on the H70, it was able to do nearly the exact same job as the stock fans on the H70 with 32% less fan speed. While we didn't have the equipment to properly measure the exact amount of ...
Long life, 6 year warranty, MTBF of no less than 150,000 hours, Can really move some air at full RPM, Works with colorful anti-vibration pads and mounts, Can be used in a home PC (but there are better options), IP67 rating (wash down, dust infiltration),
As much as these two fans may look like a standard PC fan, they are industrial fans, so it is a bit hard to compare them to a typical PC fan. Will they work in your home PC? Sure - they will work just fine, but you will never get them to run at their maxi...

We all expect different things from the products we buy. We have different expectations from different manufacturers as well. I mean, would you have the same expectations from Hyundai as you would from Mercedes-Benz? With the performance and build quality...

Another option from Noctua for your case fan needs, Quiet (Just like every other Noctua Fan we've tested), High Quality
Nothing Major
After so many years of providing all of their fans with fan adapters, Noctua has decided to produce a PWM fan, the NF-F12 PWM.Is PWM the best when it comes to case fans? Well, that all depends who you ask. In some applications it could be argued that PWM ...
Abstract: In part I of our NF-F12 review, we covered the technical specifications, initial thoughts and overview of the new arrival from Noctua - and the fact that Noctua were good enough to send us a pair of these fans for testing.The results of our testing with a...
Abstract: Noctua fans stand out generally because of their colour - love it or hate it, there is no mistaking one for another brand. The 140mm Noctua fan also stood out because of its shape (being round). Noctua have now released the NF-F12 PWM which has some uniqu...

Abstract: Noctua is one of the best-known names in terms of cooling solutions and system fans. They arguably have one of the best reputations in the industry for providing an excellent product that never fails to impress. Whenever we have reviewed one of their cool...
The NF-F12 PWM is Noctua's premium cooling fan with the aim of focused flow making this fan ideal for the situation where static pressure requirement is to be met with good airflow and better noise levels. This fan has been available for quite some time i...
It's very obvious that when cooling components, a variable amount of airflow is needed to assist in heat dissipation for whatever it is from VRM heat sinks, graphics card VRMs etc. It's no secret that the range of available case fans over the last couple...
