Cons: Expensive
Pros: Very quietMoves enough air Comment:
Got this as a case exhaust fan. The fan is very quiet. Most of the noise comes not from the fan, but from the high airflow hitting the grille at the back of my case.While its price falls inline with other premium fans (such as the Thermaltake ISGC), it does cost a bit more than 'normal' fans. A Scythe might be the more economical choice while offering similar performance.Color is a personal preference but I personally love the Noctua color scheme against a black/dark case and motherboard. Makes for a nice contrast. |

Cons: Found it noisy for silent system if not used at lowest fan speed. Pricier than other fans. Colour doesn't match most cases.
Pros: Great build quality and comes with rubber mounts. Comment:
Not as quiet as I hoped at medium speed settings for a silent build. Would recommend the Scythe S-Flex over this fan. Packaging and build quality is much better than most fan kits. |

Cons: none that I can think of
Pros: Quiet, good cfm Comment:
I've bought quite a few of theses to replace my silverstone stock fans in my TJ-07. I just got tired of the noise. There's a noticeable difference in noise reduction, and I'm quite enjoying it. If you do the math, there are only a couple of fans that can beat the cfm of these fans, and they run at about triple the dB. So this purchase was a no-brainer to me. I've always been impressed with noctua's fan technology, and I wouldn't buy anything else. |

Cons: Welcome to the seventies! the brown/beige color is absolutely horrible (good thing my case haven't a clear side panel :PLess CFM than other high quality fan (but hey i bought them for the low noise)
Pros: VERY quiet... beat my Zalman... and my Gelid who failed me after 8 months of use :(. Lots of cable switching (molex to 3 or 4 pins) and silicon pins (normal screws are also included). Comment:
Had to change my Gelid 120 (it begins to sound like my lawnmower... probably a bad bearing) and my Zalman (i couldn't make it spin less 1000 rpm with my fan conroller...don't know why). Nevertheless i putted 3 of them and placed at 900rpm... do less noise than my two others at lowest speed. I know the Noctua make some of the best fan out there but i think that the fan push less air than my old ones. Since airflow isn't an issue with my computer i'm still very happy with thoses. |

Cons: Price
Pros: quiet and push a lot of air! Comment:
I was blown away with one of these. These are comparable to an antec 120mm tri cool at full blast, except 1/3 the noise. As for comparison sythe 49cfm 20dba s flex, the noctua cools the case with a 4C drop compared to dual sythe intakes. Like other said noctua does a great job in behind grills/front panels intakes.Only con i could think of are the price for these fans. $20.7 is kinda pricy but its well worth it, i had tried and wasted too $$$ on crappy fans |
Great fan, have used these a few times. It comes with 2 or 3 adapters that can be used to slow down the case fan so it will make less noise if you like quiet computers. If you dont case about noise then dont put any on and let it get max airflow.Overall Very good case fan!
