Questions & Answers

What is the best way to replace the fan on my CPU cooler with these?

It is true that The S12A PWM can be used as a CPU fan, but we encourage you to use the NF-PWM Instead of F12, use PWM.

Does this fan have a rating for a certain number of hours?

There are more than 10,000 hours in this fan's MTTF I have worked for a thousand hours. Each and every one of our fans is included in this.

I assume it will come all black, don't you? Red markings are visible in some of the product photos, while all black markings are visible in others. Would you mind telling me what you think. ?

Black is all over it. A black plastic insulator pad is available as well as different colors of rubber. You can wear the pads or not wear them, they are simple to put on and take off. It was impossible for me to see any red markings on the plastic housing.

The model comes in black as well, Mr
4/5

Wayne. In order to replace a previously installed fan, this fan was purchased Installed a fan that began whining after having been in use for a while. As one of the leading case fan manufacturers, Noctua was once the Rolls Royce of case fans, but the Ford of color selection. So long as you wanted Soviet Bloc brown, you could have any colour you wanted for your fans. My pleasure is that Noctua finally addressed this shortcoming and has begun making fans in sleek, go-anywhere products In conjunction with Almost anything that is The Noctua fan is whisper quiet just like all the other Noctua fans, but it isn't red like Having a variety of colors for non-traditional anti-theft devices is appreciated by Noctua I love the vibration bumpers, but am not pleased with the fact that there are only four of each color. It's not a big deal since something is better than nothing, and Noctua will have to contribute even if they cannot make the dollar. It is true that Noctua does sell packages of each color separately. Therefore, if you want your fans to have blue, red, green, yellow, white, or black accents across the whole thing, you can purchase packages of each color It doesn't cost more than $300 and there are enough bumpers to cover two The Noctua fans require a little more money than Rolls fans, and you have to pay a few dollars extra to get them in an attractive housing I dislike the color, but if you want a fan that runs quietly and is durable, you can't go wrong with these. In the very near future I will replace my intake fans with Noctua Chromax 140mms,.

THE BEST FANS IN THE WORLD! YOU MUST USE THIS AND NOTHING In a nutshell, There's no doubt about it these are the most reliable fans you can get
5/5

The German cars just feel better and are built differently than the ones here in Canada. The fact that they are made in black now rather than the old brown color makes this a no-brainer. Their high air flow and quiet operation make for an excellent HVAC system. If you need to remove air from a case, you need to get this one. It is easiest to just use 140mm ones for the front, back, and top, if you can! Their static pressure and moving air properties make them the perfect choice.

The fan is silent, stealthy, and provides good airflow
5/5

This is amazing. If you place two fans side by side, you will notice the difference between them only when they are directly opposite each other. My case side panel airflow was supplied by a stock 200mm Cooler Master Fan, followed by 4x 120mm Corsair AF Quite Edition Fans, and now by 4x Noctua NF-200 Fans. I am a fan of S12A. In my opinion, the Noctua NF-X is a good device Even at maximum rpm, S12As are quieter and provide the same amount of airflow if not more. There is a bit of a difference in length between the grey and black Noctua cables I have redone P12 My favorite feature of the Noctua fan is the short 4 pin cable and I was able to use a splitter cable on it and turn the included cables into extension cables through a splitter cable. Would have liked to have seen splitters or more extension cables on the fans. You have a few colors to choose from to match your preference when it comes to selecting the vibration pads to stop fans from rattling the case at high speed. Noctua fans come in many colors and I don't use all of them on my current PC, but I am glad there are lots spares and I can use them on other Noctua fans such as the grey NF-V7. I have redone P12.

The application of an AV cooling system
5/5

An AV cabinet in a closet needed cooling. I devised a system to provide it. It comes with Aventage, Emotiva, and Oppo components. A variety of cooling equipment is used, including 1 *br /*br B. S12 A PWM2) Control for Noctuas Fans (Model # 3. FO1) - br>1. Cables Noctua Extension (model # Section 1)
4. The CAB Incorporate MSAP 45KK into your message It b)
5. Power supply for Coolerguys AC receiver and amplifier (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 them. The anti-war movement in the United States is well known In case of a vibration, the corner pieces protect the AV equipment and prevent the fans from moving. 4 inches between the top of each AV component and the shelf above it. A sufficient amount of air appears to be circulated in this way. There were no problems with any of the Noctua components and everything worked as designed right There are no gaps in the connections. When they are running full speed, the fans are very quiet and have an excellent ability to maintain a temperature below 82F. It is extremely small - only 6mm wide, 6mm deep, and 2mm thick An individual's thumb would be about the size of this. As I was setting up the system, I reached out to Noctua for some In addition to being prompt and providing excellent guidance on how to connect the power supply to the speed control (Cablemod's connector), they spent some time explaining the system. Despite the cables' solid connections, Cablemod's cable does not have a poor performance. It would only be nice if it had an outer sheath to keep the four wires together for a nicer aesthetic. I have tried the Coolerguys AC power adaptor, and it appears to be well built and works As a whole, I am quite satisfied with each component of the system and would highly recommend it to anyone seeking an effective cooling system for an AV cabinet. The system has been running for about 1 month so far, and I can say without hesitation that I would highly recommend it.
