Noctua NF-P12-1300 CPU Cooler and Case Fan
Cons:The color scheme... its really ugly

Pros:Its a very good fan and extremely quiet
Comment:
Good fan if you don't mind the ugly color. The ultra low noise adapter and low noise adapter are also pretty useful.

Noctua NF-P12-1300 CPU Cooler and Case Fan
Cons:Low RPMLow CFMHigh Price

Pros:Quiet(at all speeds)Long WarrantyBuilt solid for silence
Comment:
Overall an above average fan.Personally the RPM is too slow to warrant me buying this again at anything above $12-$15. Airflow is 'decent' but not as fast as advertisedFor an incredibly quiet fan the airflow is above average. There aren't too many better when you do not factor in the price, once you do there are comparable fans.

Pros:Silent ,Amazing Airflow
Comment:
I replaced the stock fans on my Corsair H70 CPU cooler with these ones and am pretty happy with results ,I have them going with the low noise adapter on and can barely hear them.My Intel i7 950 usually doesn't go over 35 Celsius most times unless im really beating on it.

Noctua NF-P12-1300 CPU Cooler and Case Fan
Cons:beige color doesn't quite go with a black case

Pros:- SUPER quiet-high powered
Comment:
bought two of these for my first modern day computer (previous machines had been ancient celeron/semprons) one for the side and one for the front at the HDD's, likely will pick up another for the second HDD area eventuallythey're super quiet and keep things nice and cool (especially good for the hard drive areas) a bit pricey for a fan but I think it was overall a good investmentonly con is that the beige color is a bit meh in a black case (only a problem if the side fan is visible or the exhaust really)

Cons:color?

Pros:nicely "rubber braided wire"qualityfan mountspricy
Comment:
It's a nice fan, it's super quiet that's for sure but of course at the given rpm it doesnt quite come through in terms of cfm and static pressure.if you plan on using this fan as heatsink fan or radiator fan i would probably look the other way, it doesn't push air as well once you put em behind a mesh grill or any sort of grill

Installation was easy, works as advertised, no complaints except for the ugly color scheme. It's kind of pricey but worth it if quietness is a priority.

Pros:very quietrubber grommets2 extra resistors for lower fan speedvery high quality
Comment:
i highly recommend this fan, in fact they should just put other fans in the market in the trash, this one is quiet, and cools very well, even comes with extra resistors to make it even quieter, but will push less air, very well built fan, only thing i think may turn people away is its color

Cons:none whatsoever

Pros:ultra quiet, good cooling
Comment:
No weaknesses, you can't go wrong here. 120 MM super quiet fan with excellent cooling power. Comes with soft rubber pins to hold it in place, and multiple molex connectors. It might be a bit more expensive than some alternatives, but if you are looking for a quiet fan then this is the one for you.

I use these for all the fans in my case, and they are great. Silent yet move a decent amount of air, and they also have good static pressure for heatsinks.

Cons:The colour scheme.

Pros:Quiet as hell. Rubber grommets to reduce vibration. Undervolt cables for variable speeds. Engineered well.

It's a fantastic fan and I have a 140mm Silent as well that is awesome too. I'm not taking stars off for colour scheme, it's great.

Noctua NF-P12-1300 CPU Cooler and Case Fan
Cons:none

Pros:VERY quiet!!Best damn fans going!Moves tons of air
Comment:
People say that these are expensive. I find that these are the best fans out there and are worth the premium price, nothing beats them hands down!I got 3 of these in my Coolermaster Cosmos 1000 case, and I just ordered another one that I will put in today. I actually got a chill when I opened up the case. I have never had that happen.These are also VERY VERY quiet, even with the black pig tail hooked up. I got all my fans using that pigtail and I sleep in the same room as my computer.I would HIGHLY RECOMMEND these case fans over anything else on the market today. Anything else is 2nd rate at best.

Noctua NF-P12-1300 CPU Cooler and Case Fan
Cons:- None to me, others will dislike the colour but I don't.

Pros:- Quiet fans- Quality due to the solid feel- Comes with rubber anti-vibration "screws" and resistors to make the fan slower, not that you would want to, its already dead silent..
Comment:
I have 6 of these fans (bought 4 and 2 came with my Noctua NH-U12P). I use 3 on the top of my Corsair 800D and the 140mm Noctua on the back, and 1 on my NH-U12P.

Comment:
Great fan, highly recommended - I use 3 of these in my Antec p183 and have had no problems with them. The low noise adapters didn't work with my mobo so I'm running them at 1300RPM. Works great and still quiet.

Cons:Poo colour

Pros:QuietStrong air flow (relative to it's sound level)
Comment:
Another amazing fan from Noctua again (I almost exclusively use this brand in all my builds now). The fan is quiet yet it moves enough air in my much restricted Fractal Design R3 case (using 4 of them right now). Get it pm'd and you're a happy camper.

Cons:$20 for a case fan is pretty expensive

Pros:The noise level, good airflow from the fan blades.
Comment:
Installed this to replace my cpu cooler fan for my Coolermaster hyper 212+, very quiet and good cooling solution. Seems to push just as much air as the stock fan while spinning at a much lower rpm.Colour scheme I didn't mind, but it really depends on people's tastes.Overall good purchase.

Comment:
I don't know how Noctua is so far ahead of the competition, but these fans are amazing. I have five of these in my rig and the system is pretty quiet. I've got an AMD Phenom II X6 Black Edition overclocked up to a constant 3.6GHz on all six cores and the case never gets above 45C.

Noctua NF-P12-1300 CPU Cooler and Case Fan
Cons:Noisy as "push" on rad, Rubber mounts*

Pros:Quality, Accessories, Warranty, Bearings, Quiet*, Rubber mounts*
Comment:
The fan is silent configured as pull on rad, but is very noisy when used as a push (Just as loud as stock corsair fan that came with H50.) I bought 2 of these in a push-pull configuration and I have to use the ULNA on the push fan to make the sound bearable. While the anti-vibration rubber mounts are a great idea, they are impractical to install PROPERLY in hard to reach locations in your case. I've tried using two of these side-by-side on the top of an 800D and the 4 mounts facing were the toughest. They also come loose easily.Come with a bunch of fan cables which come in handy and can be used on other fans. Includes impedence cables and 3-pin to molex. While this is a great icing on the cake, a fan controller is a better investment; fans can be controlled to your liking on the fly.I've looked up many reviews and came to the conclusion these were great even for liquid cooling, however, I am disappointed after testing these myself. I CANNOT RECOMMEND this as a PUSH fan on a rad. Works fine as a PULL fan. Solid fan otherwise.

Comment:
Worth every penny. Even on the highest setting, these fans barely make any noise. I'm currently running them on a radiator outside my case, and it's quieter than everything in my case. Definitely will buy these from now on. Blew me away (pun intended)

Pros:silentlowered the temps on my hot Q9550 by a few degrees after replacing the stock fan on my cooler.
Comment:
I think my hard drive is louder. lolI don't even have to use the included ULN adapters.I will be buying a new case soon and would probably use the same fans. if your looking for a quiet fan, this is it.

Cons:None yet.

Pros:SUPER quiet (and i've tried alot of fans). Really good airflow for the speeds they run at.
Comment:
I have tried almost 10 different types of fans in my cases over the last 10 years and these fans are genious. Bought one, then went back a day later and got 3 more. Now running at a 1/4 of the noise my PC used to make. HIGHLY recommended for the money. 20$ and a quiet PC is totally worth the money.

Cons:-Absolutely none.

Pros:-Build quality.-High performance.-Very low noise.-Low price.-Sleeved power cables.-Comes with 3 different connectors which offers 3 different types of rpm and airflow.
Comment:
I'm currently using 4 of these fans (3 for the case and 1 for the processor) and they works like a charm. Quiet, yet, very powerful, I simply love them.For that price range, you won't find anything better. This is "the" fan you want to buy.
