Noctua NF-P12-1300 CPU Cooler and Case Fan
Cons:ColourPrice
Pros:Great airflow120 mm adaptabilityVarious speed modulators Comment:
Great fan for cases that accept larger than 120 mm formats. On full blast, the noise is definitely noticeable. The rubber installation pegs are great but sometimes hard to install in awkward locations.Top of the line performance for the price.Boring colour. |

Noctua NF-P12-1300 CPU Cooler and Case Fan
Cons:None
Pros:Very QuietProvides Decent CoolingComes with Rubber Fasteners Comment:
I bought this fan as a silent solution to pair with my corsair H50. This fan seems to work quite well and is extremely quiet. It comes with accessories that allow you to regulate the voltage depending on how fast you want the fan to spin. Overall, this fan seems to live up to all of the hype. |

Cons:I ain't a fan of Noctua's color scheme.
Pros:Move a lot of air and does it without making a sound ! Comment:
Very silent and capable fan, static pressure isn't there though, if you're looking into these for water cooling, look somewhere else. |

Comment:
The fan doesn't make any *unpleasant* noise. At full speed the noise is considerable, but there's no mechanical hum or fan blade buzz; just a sort of 'whoosh'. I guess the SSO drive actually was created well, and the 'vortex control notches' are much more than just a marketing gimmick. Pricey. For half as a lot you could get a fan that's nearly as very good performance-wise.At its lowest speed it has a lower airflow/noise ratio than the 800 RPM Scythe S-Flex (of which I've owned three). Possibly its advantage is higher static pressure? I got a 3-pack of these from some vendor on A****n. Two of them produced a scraping tst-tst-tst noise, so I contacted Noctua. Their RMA procedure, whilst convenient, is rather unusual; when you obtain the replacement (completely totally free of charge, mind you), you break off a blade from the defective fan and take a picture of the broken fan next to a gov't issued ID card of you, so you don't have to mail it.The only complaint I've had with them is that, even though they're quite courteous and nicely-meaning, they don't fully grasp English really nicely; 1st they sent me one fan when I requested two, and in response (as instructed) I broke a fan and took a picture. Then, they said they'd send me a replacement for that one (and, even though I originally requested two, this isn't what should have happened at this stage). I explained every little thing to them, and now...I just received two much more fans. Now I have four great fans, and I have to either break one perfectly very good fan or pay for a fan that I don't need to have :-( |

Cons:color ? price ? nah.. you get what you pay for.
Pros:Almost silent - reliable Comment:
I have 6 of these in my Antec case and my PC is literally silent. I run them at the middle setting, I get great air flow and have never had a problem for the 24+ months I've had them. 1 on my CPU cooler.. 1 on my VGA cooler and 4 as case fans.I only wish I could remove the Antec PSU fan and change it out then I wouldn't even know my PC was on :)Don't regret buying these at all. |

Works quite well with my scythe big shuriken, much quieter than the stock amd heatsink fan. Would recommend if you need a quiet but powerful fan. This was my first Noctua product and would look to buy their products again. |

Pros:Good AirflowVery quiet Comment:
I used this to replace the antec tricool that came with my case. Includes soft mount pins for quieter operation. Easy to install (I guess most fans are) and keeps my entire case in good temp. Only complaint is the fan color doesn't match most cases and looks slightly ugly lol. |

I was always skeptical when people told me Noctua fans were awesome. But, I've tried one and they really are quiet. If they would make black ones, I'd totally replace all the fans in my case. |

From packaging to accessories I feel I'm getting my money's worth. I had to open my case to hear it running on my CM212+ as my case fans are drowning it out. Now I need to replace 3 more fans!Get these, they are worth the money! |

Noctua NF-P12-1300 CPU Cooler and Case Fan
Cons:-Uses cable adapters rather than a switch
Pros:-Extremely quiet-Better Static Pressure than most Noctua fans Comment:
Does a nice job of cooling my processor: it keeps my CPU cooler and creates less noise than the stock Scythe fan that it replaces (although it is much larger).Its very quiet, but the cable adapters are annoying as compared to the switch that comes on most Antec fans. |

I like this fan. The SSO-Bearing/design make it very quiet event at full speed. I have one coupled with a GELID Tranquillo. This fan is quieter then the original GELID fan and the temp stay below 60c on my i5 750 at full usage. I will buy again. |

Noctua NF-P12-1300 CPU Cooler and Case Fan
Cons:- Price- Wish it had higher RPM, but that's just nitpicking.
Pros:- Very Quiet- Pushes a lot of air- Rubber Grommets- Options for speed- Solid Feel Comment:
I've just taken out my stock antec tri-cool 120mm and put 2 of these bad boys in my case. While the antec did push a lot of air, it could only be done at max speed and it was actually pretty noisy.The difference between the noctua and the antec are night and day. Not only did the Noctua fans decrease my system temperature by 5C, but they actually made my case quieter. I'm shocked that 2 Noctuas are quieter than one Antec Tri-Cool at max RPM. Noctua are notorious for their quality and they certainly didn't disappoint me.The price perhaps is a bit too much, but their worth it. However, if I buy again, I'll wait until they're on special.As for the colour, I actually don't find the colour bad at all. On the picture it does look kind of ugly, but when you have one on your hand, it actually looks decent IMHO. I guess some people really don't like the mix of the two colours.Anyway, solid product, fantastic quality, highly recommended. |

Cons:Nasty color
Pros:Quiet, high flow Comment:
Besides the odd coloring, these fans are top-notch. They pull air through constrained spaces much better than my stock case fans. My proc temp went down a couple degrees just from replacing the stock heatsink fan with one of these.I cannot comprehend why noctua went with such a hit-or-miss color scheme though. Why can't these just be black!? |

Noctua NF-P12-1300 CPU Cooler and Case Fan
Cons:- Wish I could have it running a little louder/faster for a bit better airflow at times (using in push/pull with an h70). Not really a weakness. The airflow is still insanely good... but that'd seal the deal if they had that option.
Pros:- Highest quality fan I've ever handled- Pushes a lot of air- Very silent- Comes with three voltage adapters for various uses- High pressure operation Comment:
One of my favorite parts of my entire computer rig I built (2600k processor + 6970 graphics card computer setup). The quality is evident... when you open the package up and hold an NF-P12 fan in your hands, you realize how much better this fan is as compared to some other stuff you may have handled previously. |

Noctua NF-P12-1300 CPU Cooler and Case Fan
Cons:Quite expensive when you have to buy a lot.Don't work with radiators at all; the "anti-tornado design" gets negated and they push 0CFM through a radiator.
Pros:Quiet. Stands out by design, no LED's/flashy stuff. Comment:
Bought 3 of those to replace my stock case fans, hooked up to a fan controller, the sound is the same whether they're are 100% of 50% or 0% speed... quite amazing!I'm pretty sure my water cooling pump and my Scythe Ultra-Kaze make more noise, but even when I tune everything down they're still dead quiet a move a lot of air. |

Pros:Works great and is excellent for rads Comment:
If you have a windowed case, go for some Gentle Typhoons instead. These are indeed hideous but do the job just as well. I only bought it as GTs were OOS and backordered for months. Great fans with high static pressure for rads. |

Great fans for the money even nicer if you can get them on sale, cables are nicely sleeved. comes with 5 and 7 volt adapters for the little noise it actually produces. i used 4 of them on a coolit eco c240 and its quiet as a church mouse. |

Pros:Very quiet6 year warranty Comment:
I replaced several Scythe 1900rpm 37dBa/110CFM with these fans and the difference is night and day, as you would expect. They are very quiet, with the ULNA/LNA they'd be quiet enough even for the most discerning. Even with the silent operation... they have actually lowered my temps (3+ degrees) compared to the previous fans.Highly recommended for HSF/case fan usage. |

The Best 120mm fan i've ever owned. If your trying to build a "quiet PC" these fans are a MUST! Noctua quality through and through. The 6 year warranty is a huge plus as well. |
I purchased two of these to make a pull/push configuration on my Corsair H60 and these things are extremely quiet and efficient. I'm getting lower temps on my CPU then room temps. Would definitely purchase more if required.
