  • You don't need these fans. You'll probably buy them anyway
I know you, because you're me. You have a shiny new radiator which came with one or more perfectly functional fans, but you're now wondering if you can get an extra two or three degrees of performance out of your machine. So you started looking into the wonderful world of fans. You now know that there are many types of fans and you figure that if you're gong to do this, you're going to do this right. So you want static pressure fans. Somehow you learned about Noctua: well-engineered, quiet fans that your favorite YouTubers rave about. They're ugly as sin, but you've come to appreciate their ugliness as a mark of exquisite Austrian quality. THESE fans are not THOSE fans. They're well-engineered, yes. But unlike their retail sisters, they come in a classy black color. And they certanly are not quiet at 3000 RPM. I agree with the guy below who said he could barely hear himself think. I have two of these mounted in push-pull on a Corsair H60 AIO radiator. Anything above 1800 is kind of annoying. Anything above 2000 RPM is obnoxious. At 3000 RPM my PC sounds like a like a Ferrarri, which is nice, but I can't imagine running them at full speed for any period of time. But let's be honest: you really shouldn't expect a static pressure fan at 3000 RPM to be "quiet." That said, at 1500 RPM the fans are pretty much silent -- comparable to the retail version. Austrian engineering wins again. Performance? They work as advertised. At full speed they move a lot of air. But if you've studied any thermodynamics you know heat transfer into moving air very quickly hits the law of diminishing returns. Put simply: more speed does not necessarily equal more heat transfer. At 1500 RPM it's about 1-2 degrees cooler than two stock fan at full speed (not bad) and is much quieter. There isn't much of a temperature improvement when ramping up to 2900 RPM, but it does get much louder (see above). So if you insist on buying these, you might as well run them at 1500 RPM. But on the other hand, if you're going to keep them below 1500 RPM at load then why bother with the server-grade iPPC version? Why not get the iPPC 2000 RPM version? Why not buy the retail version which is a couple bucks cheaper? You've already dug this far into a stack of Amazon reviews, so you're still seriously considering it. You know why and I know why. You're impressed by the numbers: THREE THOUSAND RPM. >100 CFMs. > 7 mm H2O of static pressure. 150K hour lifespan (that's 17 YEARS of continuous operation). And IP52. I'm not sure what that means but I suspect the fans will outlast the apocaylpse. Is it worth it? Probably not. But you want these fans for the same reason you installed the water cooler and for the same reason you kept adding to your overclock. You want every ounce of performance. You want every degree of coolness. You want to press your machine to the limits. You can't imagine a situation where you'd need this kind of airflow but you like knowing that it's available. You can use #6 32 1-1/4" screws to mount them to your radiator. Don't forget the washers. You're welcome. edit: Ladies and gentlemen, I am writing from the future - May 2020. The apocalypse has, in fact, come. (Perhaps it is worth mentioning that I am a resident physician, and during these trying times gaming gives me some relief.) Many parts of the machine have been upgraded in the months since my original review, but the fans remain. And they still work. Stay home. Save lives. Be sure to wash your hands. edit 2: it is now December 2025. In the years of since my original post I have upgraded my machine multiple times. Most notably my i5-4790K was replaced by a i7-9700K in late 2020. Most recently I have left the small-form-factor SUGO SG05 and migrated to a roomy Silverstone FARA R1. Of course, this means I was able to upgrade my aircooler to the new champ, the Thermalright Peerless Assassin 120 Digital. Temperatures improved, but I was unsatisfied. Do you think I replaced the PA120's stock fans with my iPPC 3000s? YOU BETTER BELIEVE I DID. (Did you ever doubt?) With the iPPCs on the PA 120, idle temperatures are slightly above room temp (21 C), which is about five degrees cooler than stock. At full OCCT load, with fans running at full power, the CPU sits at 72 C - a full 10 C BETTER than the PA 120's stock fans. I remain impressed. However! Since 2018 I have gotten married and now share an office with my lovely bride. And loud fans are actually a significant concern. I will therefore be upgrading to NF-A12s at the earliest convenience. Hats off to Noctua for an excellent product that continues to impress. I stand by my original review. If you want MAXIMUM POWER, these fans will give it. ... show more

  • Powerful and quiet, if you know how to set them up!
I love these fans! I was hesitant to order them because of some reviewers saying they're horribly loud and others saying they were quiet. I was willing to take the risk and bet on the fact that those complaining they were too loud just didn't take any time to configure them, and I am so glad I did! I installed 4 of these 140mm fans and 3 120mm in my new rig and I absolutely love them. I have 2 140's as front intake, a 140 as rear exhaust, a 140 as bottom intake next to PSU, 2 120's on my H100i radiator and a third 120 next to the radiator as exhaust. They all come with rubber brackets and I installed all but the radiator fans with Cosmos rubber rivets. Super easy! They all come with rubber sleeved cables that aren't too short and aren't too long. I did have to run a y-splitter for my two front fans because I ran out of pins on my motherboard, and it was enough of an extension to help them make it across the huge case to get them plugged in. If you have a large case and intend to put these near the front of your chassis, you will most definitely need extensions so plan ahead! I'd rather have to extend one set of fans than have 7 fans with super long cables cluttering things up. After the quick and easy installation, I powered everything on and I was shocked at how loud it was. It was loud enough that my 10 year old and I had to raise our voices to hear each other clearly when sitting 4-5 feet away. HOWEVER, using ASUS' UEFI on the Maximus VII Hero motherboard, I was able to use the built in Qfan to quiet them down enough to the point that I could tolerate sitting near it while I installed the OS. Once Windows was installed, I installed AI Suite (included with my motherboard, you may need to locate another fan controller if you don't have an ASUS board) and went into fan setup. It has 4 predefined modes to choose from with further customization possible if desired. Silent mode literally turns off all fans except the CPU fan, which it turns down considerably and the entire rig is dead quiet. Standard mode is a step up but still extremely quiet, even when sitting only 2-3 feet away. When on the other side of the room playing games on the TV, I don't hear it at all. The other two settings include turbo (around 1500 rpm) and full power. When all fans are running at top speed (about 2700-2800 rpm), it is extremely loud. Turbo is tolerable. The sweet spot is around 900rpm, which is enough to keep an EVGA GTX 980 Ti under 60 degrees while gaming and keeps my i7-4790k under 40 degrees, even under load. The result is a very stable, quiet and cool rig. I haven't found anything that can cause this system to break a sweat and I attribute it largely to these fans. I am so very pleased with these fans, I can't say enough good things about them. They are roughly twice as expensive as other popular fans, but I'd much rather take the cool, quiet performance of Noctua fans than have fancy loud LED fans in my rig. I'll definitely be picking up more Noctua's when I build my husband's rig next month. ... show more
