Noctua NF-P12-1300 CPU Cooler and Case Fan

Comment:
Very happy with the fan but it is only quiet assuming no grills or objects are in the way...otherwise it still might be considered loud...your computer is only as quiet as your loudest component

Comment:
Very great product, I recommend this fan for everyone want a very low noise p.c.I will re-buy 2 more Noctua fan for replace the others one in my computer.

Great fans. Given the choice (i.e. availability), I will only use these fans for my CPU/GPU heatsinks. The cost isn't a big issue when you've already shelled out for other quiet components. I pity those people with side-panel windows...these fans have about the ugliest colour scheme I've seen. It's too bad, because the 'vortex' fan blades themselves are actually quite nice looking.I'd definitely buy again when I need another CPU/GPU heatsink.

I bought one of these fans for an htpc that I built recently and although the price is a bit high - it's worth it as the machine is very silent. I have this fan set up together with a low profile thermalright axp-140 cpu heatsink and it does the job it's supposed to do extremely well + is silent = great buy!will definitely buy more of these as I have a dual xeon quad server machine that sounds like a rocket before take off and that needs to be changed ;)

Great fan(s). I got 4 of these babies in my case now and they are basically silent...between my DVD-ROM and HD, i cant even hear these things working. 1300RPM may seem kind of low, but actually its plenty to get the air moving and cools my case well. Highly recommended company...will buy again.I own a few of their 80mm fans, as well...just as happy! Cheers.

Awesome Fans, if you don't mind the color and can get them on sale($15 or so) they are very good. Just the packaging alone shows the quality of these fans.

Comment:
I bought this to go along with my thermalright extreme heatsink since most of them dont include fans with it nowadays. This beast is one sleeping dragon!

As recommended by SilentPCreview. I got these for the CPU heatsinks as their extra speed will be needed. I got the 800 models for cooling the casing and hard drives. It would have been nice to have a 3 speeds switch control like the one on the Antec Tri-Cool models. But with my fan controller, this not much of an issue. These are the best and quietest 120mm fans around.

simply out, they're the best. as they said, pay the 10$ extra and get one of these. quite possibly the best added 10$ u could pay. have one that came with my noctua NH-U12P cpu heatsink and another which i bought seperatly for my external gpu heatsink for my 4870. It brought the temps donw for my 4870 about 5 degrees campared to the stock heatsink, bbut it also went from being super noisy to not having ANY noise. thats right, my gpu makes NO noise anymore. my cpu heatsink is big enough, so i put ont he ultra low noise adapeter. it it butt-ugly, but i still give it 5 stars because there is no other downfall. at all. period. buy it now.

Comment:
It really is very quiet. Reduced case temp. 6deg over old fan and CPU temp 4 deg under load. Best fan i've used!

One of the quietest fans on the market, as recommended by SilentPCReview. Color is somewhat hideous so you may want to confine it to a spot where the sun don't shine.

Comment:
Great fan for any purpose.Used them for my Cosmos S case Greatly improved airflow.Great static pressure.

Comment:
great 120mm fan , quiete and good cfm, used to buy panflo and this is my first noctura and i am satisfied with my purchase.

You get what you pay for. Shell out the extra $10 for one of these and you won't be disappointed. They may not be the most beautiful fans, but they are quiet. Bought for my HTPC and am happy. Great product does what is advertised to do. Recommended.

Comment:
These are very good fans; they have excellent build quality and they move a good amount of air but are almost silent. They are on the higher end of the price range, but if you can find them on sale (as I did) I would definitely recommend that you pick a few up.

Comment:
The fan is a really silent fan. The air push through the fan grills is kinda weak. The fan does not go past 1300 RPM which is kinda a bummer. I really wish that I could have had more air flow, but that's the trade off for having a silent fan. I'm using the fan in an Antec P182 Case.

There are a lot of reviews for this fan, all praising it. It is a good fan and does a good job. Comes with two adaptors to change the RPM (900/1100/1300) and noise level, and you have the option to power this with either your motherboard or PSU. The only downside to this fan is the UGLY color. Man it is just a bad color and looks horrible. That's my opinion though. If your looking for a good quiet fan, this is a good option.

Comment:
I would recommend this fan for a TRUE-120, this fan is just awesome, comes wit two adaptors to lower the RPM and noise for the people who want to do so. Will buy again.

I have put 2 noctura fans on my nmedia htpc case and they are quiet and keep componants cool including a 260gtx video card gaming at 51 celceus. they come with an assortmant of 3 pin power hookups and mounting options. To me they are worth the extra bucks to have the performance combined with low noise level. If your not on a tight budget I highly recomend these case fans.
