To summarize my points before going into details: Pros: + Aesthetically pleasing for my build, white matches the RGB lighting on motherboard and front fans and LED strip + much quieter tone compared to stock Fractal Design case fan + variety of color options for rubber mounts + Strong airflow out of case now + PWM fan compared to old Fractal Design DC 3-pin fan Cons: - High price for fans - short cables - Sort of difficult to mount with screws For more in depth review: I love these fans. I'm officially a "fan" of Noctua fans (HA bet you didn't expect the puns in this review). From my testing, I paired this with another Noctua fan that I replaced on my Cryorig H7 CPU Cooler. I noticed a 3-5 Celsius drop on the CPU. I attribute that to this fan working well with the CPU fan that was also replaced with a Noctua fan. One pushes hard on the cooler tower and this fan gets large amounts of air flowing out of the case. The fan hardly makes any noise compared to the old Fractal Design case fan. It is a much lower tone. I also love that this is a PWM fan compared to the DC 3-pin fan that the Fractal Design fan was. This offers much more variability and control over the fan's RPM. The main downside I found was screwing in this fan. It seems a bit more difficult for some reason. The provided screws did not work for my case, so I used the screws that came with the case rather than the ones that came with the fan. I also put two sets of rubber mounts on both sides of the fan because it was going to be against the metal of the case and I wasn't sure if that would case vibration noise. Overall, very pleased with this product and the static pressure version of this fan. Highly recommend!

Moves the air really well, silent at all but the top speed, and still pretty quiet at top speed. Have it blowing down in my graphics card and it's keeping the temp a good few degrees cooler.

I created a system to provide cooling for an AV cabinet in a closet. Components include Aventage, Emotiva and Oppo. The cooling equipment used includes: 1. Noctua Fans (3) (model# NF-S12A PWM) 2. Noctua Fan controller (model# NA-FC1) 3. Noctua Extension cables (model# NA-SEC1) 4. Cablemod's molex to SATA cable (model# CM-CAB-MSAP 45KK-R) 5. Coolerguys AC power adaptor (110V AC to DC 12V Power Supply with 4 pin Molex) The fans are laid flat on top of the receiver and amplifier pulling air up through the units. Of course, the anti-vibration corner pieces protect the AV equipment and prevent the fans from moving around. There is approximately 4" between the top of each AV component and the shelf above. This seems to allow sufficient air circulation. All Noctua components were packaged nicely and functioned perfectly out of the box. Connections are solid. Using the fans full speed, they are very quiet and are effective in keeping the components at less than 82F degrees. The Noctua Fan Controller is tiny -- about the size of a man's thumb. When setting up the system, I reached out to Noctua for some technical assistance. They were prompt and provided excellent guidance on connecting the power supply to the speed control (Cablemod's connector). The Cablemod's cable has solid connections and functions well. The only thing that would be nice is an outer sheath to keep all four wires together for a cleaner appearance. The Coolerguys AC power adaptor appears well made and functions well to power the three fans. Overall, the system has been running for about 1 month and I am quite satisfied with each of the components and would recommend them to anyone looking for an effective cooling system for an AV cabinet.

Nice quiet fans for my PC build. Work as expected, with variable speed. Easy to install with the included vibration isolators and screws.

Bought 3 of these for a new HTPC I built with a 5700G combined with a 6700XT. First I have to note, the system is in a open home theater shelf in a dark room with central air cooling. That said, these fans run cool and quiet. And I’m glad Noctua fans run forever, because you wouldn’t hear them fail.

With the GPU shortage being a real thing I speced out a new rig from CyberPower with a 3080 and i9. That all went fine but the computer was very loud, even at idle with the fan options I picked that were available from their parts picker. After seeing a buddy use these same noctua fans on his computer and how quiet it was I decided to give them a go myself. I ditched the RGB fans I originally had and purchased 5 chroma fans and a couple of the redux to take every fan in the case to being noctua. After switching I can confirm that these are the quietest fans I have ever heard. My case is setting right on top of my desk and when web browsing speaker hiss is literally louder than the PC. It is truly wild. If you're building a PC skip anything else and just go with these if noise is a concern at all. When they do turn on you can hear them, but the sound is not unpleasant and they do such a wonderful job actually cooling things performance wise that they really don't spool up very often. I'd recommend these to everyone.

This is a good fan if all you want is to move air. Which is what I wanted. Moves plenty of air and barely makes any noise while doing so. Price isn't that high either. Pair these with the mainline Noctuas on the cpu or rad, and it's a nice cost effective way to fill your pc with fans.
