Review: Excellent Stylish and Quiet Fan from Noctua - I needed an extra fan to add to my NH-U12S so I purchased another F12 for a push-pull configuration. Firstly, as with Noctua products the packaging was extremely solid, arriving with anti-vibration pads in numerous colours to suit different builds. I stuck with the black ones as i already had the extra thick black ones from the Chromax U12S. The fan comes with an extension cable which was crucial for getting it to a Y splitter on the backside of my case, making my build neat and tidy. However, this fan does not come with a Y splitter so you will need to purchase that separately should you feel you need it. The fan is extremely quiet, only really getting loud at very high RPM (1300 or so) but since there are two now on my heatsink I very rarely hear them over my case fans (Corsair ML140s). The Noctua quietness reputation certainly holds up with these F12s. These help to keep my CPU temps around 30-33 degrees at idle and around 50-55 degrees whilst gaming. If I could buy 3/4 for my case I would, however these are relatively expensive fans. They are absolutely worth it in my opinion for the noise and airflow performance alone though, but they aren't available to buy in bulk (anymore) which is a shame. Overall, this is an extremely well performing fan with great airflow, noise levels and aesthetics, with the only minor drawback being the price.
Review: Impressive - So previous to buying these fans I had Corsair fans that came with my AIO, to say they were loud would be an understatement, more like a jet engine taking off. So I went for these and thought they can’t be any worse. So after buying 6 of these all I can say is that I was blown away(no pun intended), they are so quiet, and the airflow is amazing my 3070 graphics card(yes they do exist) used to run at a temperature of 55 degrees while idling, now it runs at 34 degrees. Even when the fans are on 100% they aren’t annoying and I would say they sound like a small desk fan(remember I have 6 of these). I would doubt anyway would have fans running at 100%, if you do then you need a better airflow case. Also you can change the colours of the corners, you get these rubber edges that help reduce vibration, I chose white but you can chose what ever colour suits you, they look very smart, and they are easy to mount. Anyway, I can’t recommend them enough, they may cost more than some, but are worth the money.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: Can I use 1 to 2 of these nf-f12 chromax black fans in place of the tan/brown fan that comes with the noctua nh-u12s cpu cooler?**
A: You absolutely can, it’s what I have on mine.  There’s no performance difference, it was simply to keep my color scheme matching.  The original tan one went into a different case that doesn’t have a window.

**Q: are these good for radiators?**
A: I disagree with the seller. The A12 is well rounded for the best option in all applications but the F12 is better pressure optimized for heatsinks and radiators. The S12A has better air flow and is the best as a case fan. So the A12 is essentially in between the F12 and S12A which are specialized; not as good as either but better than both at what they aren't specialized for.

If you doubt me, this isn't my personal opinion but Noctua's official recommendation

**Q: Will this fan fit the uh-12s cpu cooler?**
A: These are the same 120mm form factor as the ones that come with the NH, they should fit.

**Q: Is the fan reversable to become an intake or exhaust fan as neeeded?**
A: All fans are reversible, based on how your mount them in the case. Fan facing the case it’s an intake, fan facing the inside, it’s an exhaust.
