Good quality, great for water and air cooled setups
Quality feel, heavy rigid frame and fan/hub blades, the fan motors are twice the size if not more compared with the noiseblocker rgb fans I replaced, they are also much more quiet at full load. i have 10 of these beasts mounted on 2x 360 and 1x480 rads, + an additional 4 on the side case ports next to the mobo tray, and a 140mm version of this fan on the exhaust port, and with my corsair commander pro set on a quiet profile curve, even while gaming my RTX 4090 OC sits around 37c and 13900K CPU around the 50c mark, my nvme drive also in the loop sits around 32c. Only when i ramp up the profile to extreme can you really hear the fans but that would be max rpm where as quiet mode holds the fans between 1k to 1.5k rpm, and on the extreme profile while gaming cpu and esp. gpu which stabilises closer to idle temps. Definitely the best quality case fans i have ever built a pc with, even though the price is high, it is reflected in build quality and the operation, having 15 fans that can be set almost completely silent while still able to cool a cpu and gpu that is known to run hot is impressive, highly recommended for air and water-cooled setups.

Best there is!
Excellent fan, superior build quality, great performance and quiet throughout the range. Was apprehensive at first due to the cost but delighted now.

The gold standard in PC fans.
Yes, they're expensive (especially because the Chromax versions don't come with the extender cables which means you might need to buy those separately), but when you factor in noise and performance you really can't buy better fans. If you want good performance and low noise, this is the best you can do.

GOAT!
Incredible fans - first thing i do with any build is buy a set of these - whisper quiet up to 30% rpm and they have a 0% pwm signal so stop completely at low temps - Noctua is still the GOAT

Silence Has Fallen!!!!
Really high quality build, the fans are very well made and have a reassuring weight to them. The cables are also very impressive and easy to work with, unlike the cheap plastic ones other brands use. I purchased three of these to replace a set of Corsair elite fans that were not only too noisy themselves whilst running; but also created resonance in my case leading to a very annoying humming sound. You can hardly hear the Noctua and I must admit I'm far happier with the more subtle look (ie no LEDs). I'm also convinced average temperatures are a few degrees lower. I cannot recommend these highly enough. Yes they cost more; but given the role they play keeping far more expensive components safe, their quieteness and the build quality I think they are an essential buy.

Great Fans
Excellently performing fan, these are quiet and move a lot of air. I am currently using this in a Thermalright Phantom Spirit 120 and it is a perfect drop-in replacement for the original fan. The accessories that come with it are nice although I feel that the inclusion of all the extra colour variants for the corners is a bit excessive and wastefull. I do wish the cable was longer and didn't require an extension to reach headers on the board but I appreciate that the shorter cable that could be extended appeals to a wider demographic than a long cable that someone may want to be shorter. Overall, I highly recommend these fans to anyone who takes PC cooling seriously. They are best in class and worth the cost.

Silent and Stellar: My Go-To PC Fans
My old PC fans were constantly buzzing, driving me crazy. I replaced them with these new fans, and they’re fantastic! They’ve completely eliminated the noise issue and run almost silently when not under load. I highly recommend them to anyone seeking high-quality, affordable fans for their PC.

Amazing. It’s expensive but worth it
I got two of these fans for my nr200 build, most the components for that pc where swapped into this new case, going from atx to itx I was expecting temps to go up, so I ordered the noctua fans £30 for one seemed expensive at the time, but now feels worth it, just two fans at the top exhausting resulted in a 7 degree decrease plus with noctua’s thermal paste on the amd cooler. The ascetics on these are amazing if you like 0rgb, the matte black is very clean looking. I also forgot to mention about the noise, it’s dead silent. Even at maxed out speed, these things aren’t that loud, there a great buy from a great company. Hopefully I can afford the cooler soon aswell. 100% recommended for an itx build and any atx build aswell

PC後方の排気ファンとして使用しています。 CPUクーラーもNoctua NH-U12A chromax.blackを使用しているので、黒で統一出来ました。 低電力版CPUを使用しているのもありますが、排気性能も問題なく、静音性も高いです。 PCケースを開けても格好良くなり、最高です。

La Noctua NF-A12x25 PWM è semplicemente una delle migliori ventole da 120 mm disponibili sul mercato. L’ho installata sia come ventola per case che come dissipazione su radiatore AIO, e in entrambi i casi ha dimostrato prestazioni eccellenti. La costruzione è solida, con materiali di alta qualità e una precisione ingegneristica che si nota subito. Il design con pale in Sterrox e il ridottissimo spazio tra pala e frame garantiscono un’ottima pressione statica e un flusso d’aria efficiente, mantenendo allo stesso tempo un livello di rumorosità estremamente basso, anche sotto carico. Molto apprezzata anche la possibilità di personalizzazione estetica grazie ai pad colorati intercambiabili, perfetti per chi cura anche l'aspetto visivo del proprio setup. Compatibile con PWM a 4 pin, risponde perfettamente ai controlli automatici della scheda madre. Un prodotto premium che vale il prezzo per chi cerca prestazioni e silenziosità al top.

Quiet as and stylish, much better than some other Noctua fans like the NF-14 (not the G2 ones, im sure those are good)

J'étais un peu hésitant en raison du prix élevé pour un seul ventilateur, mais je suis satisfait de mon achat. La qualité est indéniable et justifie son prix, bien que cela puisse être un investissement pour certains. J'ai remplacé un autre ventilateur d'une autre marque par celui-ci et la différence est flagrante. En ce qui concerne le niveau sonore, il est difficile de juger pleinement car j'ai encore d'autres ventilateurs à remplacer qui font beaucoup de bruit (on peut les entendre dans la vidéo), mais pour l'instant, c'est celui-ci qui est le moins bruyant. Je mettrai à jour ce commentaire plus tard, car je prévois de remplacer la plupart de mes ventilateurs par du noctua ! En ce qui concerne les performances de refroidissement, cela semble être correct. Étant donné que j'ai remplacé un ventilateur défectueux, je n'ai pas pu comparer avant/après, mais le débit d'air est excellent. (J'ai même biieeeen plus de poussière coincé sur la facade avant de mon boitié :) ) Les silentblocs sont un plus, j'ai installé les noires car de toute façon on ne les voit pas. Petit bémol, le câble est légèrement court, surtout pour ceux qui aiment faire du cable management. En conclusion, c'est un excellent ventilateur, malgré son prix élevé. La qualité de construction, les performances de refroidissement et le niveau sonore réduit en font un bon choix pour ceux qui recherchent le meilleur. Je mettrai à jour mon commentaire à l'avenir, mais pour l'instant, je suis satisfait de mon achat.
