Noctua NF-P12 redux-1700 PWM, High Performance Cooling Fan, ...

Notuca has done it again, producing a great product and this time at an even better price. This fan is very good in several categories with no real downsides.These are premium high end fans, so it vastly outclasses stock case fans.Material quality is great, just by touching it and holding it, the whole thing feels much more premium. Right out of the box it feels good.Noise level is great, but do be sure to set the fan curves in your BIOS, otherwise they will be running with a bit of noise on full RPM, which is overkill. They move so much air as it is, there is little reason to run them so hard and it creates an unneeded noise level. So do set a fan curve, for sure.Highly versatile! It’s got great static pressure AND great airflow so you can comfortably use them on radiators or as case fans. Not all fans can say the same in terms of versatility.They do look alright to the eye, not some fancy RGB, but they are about functionality. Noctua has never been known for being flashy, but I highly recommend their anti-vibration pads for a nice accent as well as mitigating the vibrations for even less noise.Above all, the price point is what knocks it out of the park for me. There simply is no better fan for this price. I’m not saying it can’t be outperformed, but anything that would do so would easily cost more than twice as much. Performs like a $20-$30 fan, yet cost nearly half that.Unless you are able to or willing to, shell out anything for PC performance I don’t see why you wouldn’t use these. For most enthusiast, this is certainly sufficient and effective. Unless you are some mega enthusiast with a 3 grand rig in the tower, this is great.Great for enthusiast looking for premium cooling without breaking the bank.
