  • Works great as the CPU fan on a HP rp5800
I got a great deal on a refurbished HP rp5800 at Micro Center for 120 dollars although the CPU fan it came with was starting to show its age and making a loud whirring noise and a year later a grinding noise. So I knew that the OEM CPU fan was on its way out and decided to replace it with this 92mm 4 pin Noctua fan I have heard many positive things about Noctua and decided to give them a shot. They really do live up to their name and is whisper quiet while also producing more air. Please note that if you decide to replace your OEM CPU in just about any prebuilt make sure that you buy a 4 pin fan and not the 3 pin otherwise it will stay at a very high rpm and also be very noisy. ... show more

It's a Noctua fan they speak for themselves.

  • Helped cooling my XPS 8940 by 5 deg
I was a bit concerned about the caompatiblity of this fan for the Dell SPX 8940. Many review has issue of Dell BIOS error with the fan installed. I also ran into the BIOS error. But with try and error, I finally found a way to install it w/o error. The XPS 8940 will alway check h/w whenever you make any changes. The Noctua fan is incompatiable with Dell, then it will give error after the switch. However, with the Y-adapter, i installed both the Noctua and the original Dell fan, and it pass the inspection w/o error. You can disconnet the Dell fan, but I use the extension cord and mounted the Dell fan to the front. The temperature of my two hard drives lowered by 5 degree C which were running very hot. ... show more

  • A great fan with nice accessories included, albeit a bit pricey
I set out to make a "nearly" silent PC, in that I didn't want to go fanless, but I wanted it to have the fans running so slowly (or off) during normal operation that it was silent, and it was only during intensive activities that the fans would ramp up. Through that process I ended up using 5 different fan models from 3 different companies,including this NF-A9. Long story short, I prefer NF-Bx line from Noctua as my favorite and the best value. These NF-Ax series fans are slightly better, but not so much more so to justify the 50% (or so) increase in cost unless you need the vibration free mounting hardware it comes with. (The "B" series doesn't come with that nor with the extra extension and splitter cables the "A" series does.) Some cost saving advice: don't buy a Noctua CPU cooler. Buy a Cooler Master CPU cooler (I went with the Hyper T2 as it is the biggest one that fits in a standard case) and take off the Cooler Master fan and buy one a Noctua fan. For ~$27 combined you get what Noctua wants to charge $60 for. The Cooler Master fan sucks and doesn't allow you to reduce the fan speed below ~30%, so it needs to be replaced if you want to go silent, but the Noctua NF-B9 is exactly the same size fan and it is easy to replace it once you realize you can pull off the rubber pads that obscure the fan screws. Another learning, don't trust that the fan controller on your motherboard is doing everything as it should. First, I had to go into bios and change it to PWM mode as it assumed DC mode for the system fans even though it comes with 4-pin fan headers (DC mode doesn't allow it to spin at nearly as low of a speed). Next, it appeared when I was first testing the B series fan that the lowest it could go in PWM mode is 13% based on the RPM data the motherboard was providing. But then I noticed the fan was still spinning when I put the PWM at 10%, so I figured the fan wasn't providing good RPM data below 13%. (I later noticed that the A series would show RPMs down to 10%, further giving credence to that idea.) Next I noticed it would stop spinning below 10% (both A and B series), so I assumed that was the lowest the fan would go. Not so on either count! I later hooked up the NF-B9 fan to my GPU and it could both spin the fan and read its speed as low as 5% PWM (never tried with the A series fan, but I assume it could go slower too). So apparently my motherboard has it's limits that it won't go below. For all I know, the fan could go even lower than 5%, but that's the best the GPU fan controller will do. (Luckily, even 13% is slow enough to be silent in almost all scenarios.) But the long and short of it, is that with 4 of the Noctua fans (A9 on the CPU, 2x B9 on GPU and 1 B9 on the rear of the case) and leaving the front of the case fan off unless the system gets hot (trying to save a few bucks and not replace the 12" fan unless I need to) as well as an EVGA gold power supply in "eco mode" I have a truly silent PC, where a pretty sensitive dB meter can not detect it being on. I have to do the test in the middle of the night, because even cars going by outside are detectable. But at 3 AM, it reads 21.1 dB with the PC off and 21.1 dB with it on. My stomach gurgles and the stupid thing goes up to 24 dB or I click the mouse and it goes up to over 30 dB so trust me when I say the dB meter is sensitive enough to detect pretty small readings. To be fair and give a caveat, to keep it silent, the fans are running at 13% on the rear of the case, 10% on the CPU and 5% on the GPU. But that's just enough air flow with the good heatsinks that in normal operation the system temp stays around 40 and both the CPU temp and GPU temps stay in the mid 50's.

  • Very Goos Fan
Works Great! I have to finish cleaning up the system I’ll get it clean & smooth the edges

  • Very quite fan
The fan is not noisy and has no fan motor noise at all. Use the free utility speedfan to create a fan curve to keep the fan at around 50% for most of the time and increase RPM when your CPU or storage drives get over a certain temp. The top speed is between 1930 and 1950 RPM it will variate the speed or maybe it is speedfan doing that. At below 1100 RPM I can not hear the fan over the power supply or cpu fan. From 1150 RPM I can begin to hear it but barely. 1200 RPM and above I can hear the fan but it is still quite until 1600 RPM which is 80% speed. At this speed and above to 100% you just hear the air moving but no whine, motor noise or anything annoying that most fans sound like. The smaller traditional case fans will sound like a weed whacker or leaf blower while this fan you just hear air moving and no other auxiliary noises, whine or vibrations from the fan itself. I would not set it to a specific speed and just let it run constantly at that speed. You want it to ramp up when needed and then quite back down to room level but still running, you just don't need to hear it constantly. Search for SpeedFan to control this and then look up on Youtube "JayzTwoCents SpeedFan" to get a detailed tutorial on how to use the software. He mentions setting his Fan Control Controller setting to "Sum of speeds" this works until you add multiple Temperature tracking say from each core in your CPU then in this case you set it to "MAX of speeds" or it won't work. One temperature tracking == Sum of speeds Multiple temperature tracking == MAX of speeds As most people I don't like the brown poop color of the fan but my case does not have tempered glass sides so I won't ever see the fan anyway. Don't buy a cheap $10 or less weed whacker sounding fan, spend more and buy this one because you only hear air moving above 60% RPM versus vibrations, motor whine and sometimes ticking the cheapo fans make. I also installed the flexible mounting plugs instead of using the traditional screws that also come with the fan. Either way this fan does not make noise other than air moving at high speed and at 50% I can't hear the fan at all.. Nothing. ... show more

Noctua fans are quiet, efficient and typically lower inside case temps. They are fantastic.
