I have two of these NF-F12 pulling air direct to my gpu. Temperatures never go ahead of 60C while gaming.

[@TechLegend-com]

Great to hear! :)

[@kinase5008]

honestly the best review i have ever seen in my life nice man!

[@TechLegend-com]

Thank you for the kind comment! :)

[@MrGiselbart]

Given that temperatures seem to be getting higher, especially during summer, I figured I'd get me seven of these to put in my new-to-be-built pc. Along with the three fans of my CPU cooler ( NZXT Kraken Z73), I wonder if my pc will take off :P

[@TechLegend-com]

Taking off not really, but the noise will make you think you are on board a 747.

[@harryshuman9637]

It's not so much the ability to run under water that attracts me, but the 3000 RPM and insane airflow values. It also costs only $30, which isn't bad for the most powerful 120mm fan.

[@TechLegend-com]

I don't think you will run this fan at maximum RPM all the time, but having the option is nice. Plus, these fans are made to last a long time which is nice.

[@harryshuman9637]

@@TechLegend-com Trust me I will be, because I am a type of the idiot who crams 5800X3D into a case that can only support 80mm tall coolers, so I have to use AXP-100 cooler to cool that beast of a CPU.

[@harryshuman9637]

@@TechLegend-com So I just added this cooler to my rig, and the performance barely changed. The Cinebench R23 score increased by like 300 and the CPU is still throttling. Before this fan I used low profile one by Arctic Cooling. So basically nothing changed, but whenever I'm using my system my computer sounds like a vacuum.

[@TechLegend-com]

@@harryshuman9637 Is the fan pointing towards the heatsink?

[@harryshuman9637]

@@TechLegend-com Yep. I think my cooler just doesn't have enough thermal capacity and surface area. It reaches 90 degrees in seconds and obviously the powerful fan doesn't do much. Will have to get AXP-200 instead.

[@shalahuddinumar3386]

Really nice review, It will be a great colour fit with Fractal North Dark Wood variant

[@TechLegend-com]

It would match that case for sure!

[@Milo19970]

Going to buy a few to keep my enclosed Off grid system cool when it's build in cooling can't keep up during the hot days.

[@TechLegend-com]

Sounds like a good idea. These fans are made to withstand a lot, so they will work in your case.

[@jamesm568]

Damn good fans as I have 8 of these industrial fans in my PC case and they're actually quieter than quiet fans when tamed.

[@TechLegend-com]

When tamed being the key words here.

[@jamesm568]

@@TechLegend-com Fan curves are your friend!

[@TechLegend-com]

@@jamesm568 True!

[@RetroPlus]

Really? I thought these have a minimum speed of 750 RPM

[@jamesm568]

@@RetroPlus The run at 450 RPM just fine.

[@pedropierre9594]

Can I use these as underwater propellers?

[@TechLegend-com]

I don't think so. For that application, you better use a propeller that is designed for underwater usage.

[@telekinezisufokerdekessege7736]

HI. I bought a 24V Noctua PC fan, but it only spins at 1600 RPM. Even when I plug it into the motherboard, it doesn't reach 3000 RPM, only 1600 RPM. I don't understand why. Do I need to buy an adapter or something similar for this? I would like it to work properly. Thanks for your help

[@TechLegend-com]

Unless the fan has a preinstalled low noise adapter, you have a defective unit.

[@Hoozpoppin]

You cant run a 24v fan in a traditional PC where the motherboard runs fans at 12v. The max you'll get 12v is 1500rpmish.

[@TechLegend-com]

@@Hoozpoppin That is correct, I forgot about that. I used the fans powered straight from a fan controller that supplied 24v. I hope that other person sees your comment!

[@Frank-fg4jx]

can this be used with a horizontal watercooler?

[@TechLegend-com]

Yes.

[@ethanlee9136]

the industrial fans would not work with noctua low noise filter cables. i was trying it this morning

[@TechLegend-com]

Indeed, that's mostly thanks to the high voltage required for these fans to work properly.

[@leonpano]

it can work on any fan on the world resistor works on anything (low noise filter=resistor)

[@leonpano]

@@TechLegend-com your fan is 24V not 12V

[@TechLegend-com]

@@leonpano I know.

[@leonpano]

@@TechLegend-com wow fast Thank you for reply

[@Tav_cr]

Your video is good but the sound of your microphone is so brilliant; you're using a lot of treble which is a little bit annoying to hear after a while. Also try a DeEsser. Thanks for the video.

[@TechLegend-com]

Thanks for the input, I will make the changes accordingly!

[@2013TombRaider]

This fans perform good but the sound is too much compared to A12x25. I rather take a little hit on performance with A12x25 and have a good night sleep with my pc is working on rendering projects..

[@TechLegend-com]

True, and a lot of people forget that these are industrial grade fans and not meant for bedroom usage.

[@Iridiumcosmos]

I have two of the A14 iPPCs in my PC acting as top exhaust limited to 55% speed. They’re just as quiet as my A12x25s and S12. Fan curves are your friend.

[@TechLegend-com]

@@Iridiumcosmos Good to know, thanks for the info! :)

[@hadifelani]

You included so many Scythe fans in the chart, but no Wondersnails...... Weird......

[@TechLegend-com]

The Gentle Tycoon is next to impossible to find in good condition.

[@hadifelani]

@@TechLegend-com right. I forgot that Wondersnails are hard to find on the US and Europe, my bad then. It's widely available here in my country (Indonesia, South East Asia), though you had to be diligent on looking for the good priced one as the pricing is quite fluctuative for around $13 to $25 per fan.

[@TechLegend-com]

@@hadifelani The issue is not finding one, the issue is finding one that is still working right and for a good price. Broken or damaged bearing fans can be found but they're worthless for a review.

[@zencontroller]

Just bought a couple to replace the stock fans on my Noctua cooler. So they dont work with the low noise adapter... Damn. I'll have to return them...

[@TechLegend-com]

Oh man, I'm sorry to hear that. :/

[@carlhudson1613]

Perhaps consider creating a custom fan control profile in your motherboard's BIOS (there are numerous software applications capable of doing this from inside Windows as well, but they can be a bit flakey or even veer towards bloatware)? Obviously I am not familiar with your particular motherboard, but its a fairly common feature these days. A custom fan profile will allow you to vary the fan's rpm (and thus noise) based on your CPU temperature. edited for spelling.

[@TechLegend-com]

@@carlhudson1613 I would recommend you and everyone else to only use this fans through a fan hub or fan controller. These fans are using 24v and having multiple fans connected to your motherboard can cause issues. Please take this into consideration.

[@carlhudson1613]

@@TechLegend-com I originally replied with an edited link to Notua's website that I guess wasn't sufficiently edited to prevent KZbin's bots from automatically scrubbing. Regardless, Noctua's published specs for these fans indicate they are for 12v operation and draw up to a third of an amp each (3.6 watts max per fan). The standard single 4pin fan headers on my motherboard are rated for up to 1 amp. Theoretically I could run up to three of them off of a single header. Noctua does offer a 24v version of this fan, but it has a slightly different part number and tops out at 2000rpm. Please do correct me if I have misunderstood anything being presented by Noctua. I thank you for your reply and for your enjoyable and informative content. edited syntax in first sentence

[@TechLegend-com]

@@carlhudson1613 Sorry for the late reply. It's not a mistake, it all depends on the particular fan model. However, I want to play safe and say that all Industrial grade fans should be used with a bit of common sense, as they are high power models.

[@MI7QC]

i have 8 of these and i run these fan at 35% maximum because the sound is to loud high loool if you want to bleed from the ears you have to test at 100% capacity lol

[@TechLegend-com]

Industrial grade fans, they were made for everything but being quiet!

[@kostykosty7886]

👍👍👍

[@helthuismartin]

There is a 12V version from this fan.

[@TechLegend-com]

This version is the 12V model.

[@helthuismartin]

@@TechLegend-com Okay thanks.

[@TechLegend-com]

@@helthuismartin Anytime!

[@x-ray3431]

At 1:33 it shows clearly that it's a 24v though.

[@pedropierre9594]

@@x-ray3431 it requires 12v to get going, the voltage goes up as it picks up rpm’s bud

Хорош, мужик. Отличный обзор

The Phanteks T30 is now King of fans.

[@TechLegend-com]

I did not review that fan yet. Also, the T30 is a different fan for a different purpose, same as the Noctua NF-A12X25.

[@aw4g9]

Noctua still outperforms the t30

[@Iridiumcosmos]

Against this? LOL.
