  • Pricey, But Precisely Moves Air - High Quality and High Noise at Max RPM
Noctua NF-F12 iPPC 3000 PWM, Heavy Duty Cooling Fan, 4-Pin, 3000 RPM (120mm, Black). After previous excellent experience with 2000 RPM Industrial fans from Noctua, I purchased two of these for bottom mounting on the Lian Li 011 dynamic case. Even with the bottom magnetic mesh dust cover installed in the case, these two fans crank air easily through the system. The 4 pins connected directly to the MSI MPG Z390 Gaming Edge AC motherboards with no issue. Fan PWM controls in the motherboard's bios allowed precise control of the fans at various temps. The fans are typically less than 25 RPM apart from each other at the same settings (e.g. 50% at 50C). System reads fan max RPM at 2934 and 2909 at 100% power. Fan noise starts becoming noticeable in the Lian Li case at around 1600 RPM and quite loud at 2000 and above. These are MUCH louder than the 2000 RPM versions of these fans. The Noctua website shows plenty of details with airflow and noise levels. At max RPM, these fans are MUCH louder than the Geforce RTX 2080ti blower fan, which was previously the loudest component in the case. At 1000 RPM and less, these still move a good amount of air without any noise; a good fan profile will help keep your PC quiet, if used as a case fan. I could also see these being used as an All-In-One water cooler fan replacement/upgrade. I already use the 2000 RPM version for a 120mm AIO Cooler fan replacement. I would have considered using the 3000 RPM version if it was available at the time. Overall quality of the fan is impressive. Silicon padded corners ensure there won't be any rattling or vibrations. The 4 included mounting screws fit tightly in the holes. The fan cable is covered in a braided material black wrap which makes it easy to manage or hide; it even looks good if you are not trying to hide the cable. I expect this fan will outlive the computer's 240mm Cooler Master AIO fans, the Apevia case fans, and all components of the generic power supply. At $25.95 USD, if I don't replace these fans in 9 years, I will have saved myself the pain replacing lower quality fans, multiple times. 9 years is the longest I've seen a 120mm fan survive, which was from previously mentioned 120mm AIO cooler. If this last 10 years, I will feel that the Heavy Duty price is justified for this Heavy Duty fan. I'd like to think I'll get at least 15 years, since I'm not driving them at 100% all the time. If you care about noise and price, Noctua has other reasonable options, which will probably also have a long lifespan. In 10 years, I'll let you know if this was worth the price. ... show more

  • You don't need these fans. You'll probably buy them anyway
I know you, because you're me. You have a shiny new radiator which came with one or more perfectly functional fans, but you're now wondering if you can get an extra two or three degrees of performance out of your machine. So you started looking into the wonderful world of fans. You now know that there are many types of fans and you figure that if you're gong to do this, you're going to do this right. So you want static pressure fans. Somehow you learned about Noctua: well-engineered, quiet fans that your favorite YouTubers rave about. They're ugly as sin, but you've come to appreciate their ugliness as a mark of exquisite Austrian quality. THESE fans are not THOSE fans. They're well-engineered, yes. But unlike their retail sisters, they come in a classy black color. And they certanly are not quiet at 3000 RPM. I agree with the guy below who said he could barely hear himself think. I have two of these mounted in push-pull on a Corsair H60 AIO radiator. Anything above 1800 is kind of annoying. Anything above 2000 RPM is obnoxious. At 3000 RPM my PC sounds like a like a Ferrarri, which is nice, but I can't imagine running them at full speed for any period of time. But let's be honest: you really shouldn't expect a static pressure fan at 3000 RPM to be "quiet." That said, at 1500 RPM the fans are pretty much silent -- comparable to the retail version. Austrian engineering wins again. Performance? They work as advertised. At full speed they move a lot of air. But if you've studied any thermodynamics you know heat transfer into moving air very quickly hits the law of diminishing returns. Put simply: more speed does not necessarily equal more heat transfer. At 1500 RPM it's about 1-2 degrees cooler than two stock fan at full speed (not bad) and is much quieter. There isn't much of a temperature improvement when ramping up to 2900 RPM, but it does get much louder (see above). So if you insist on buying these, you might as well run them at 1500 RPM. But on the other hand, if you're going to keep them below 1500 RPM at load then why bother with the server-grade iPPC version? Why not get the iPPC 2000 RPM version? Why not buy the retail version which is a couple bucks cheaper? You've already dug this far into a stack of Amazon reviews, so you're still seriously considering it. You know why and I know why. You're impressed by the numbers: THREE THOUSAND RPM. >100 CFMs. > 7 mm H2O of static pressure. 150K hour lifespan (that's 17 YEARS of continuous operation). And IP52. I'm not sure what that means but I suspect the fans will outlast the apocaylpse. Is it worth it? Probably not. But you want these fans for the same reason you installed the water cooler and for the same reason you kept adding to your overclock. You want every ounce of performance. You want every degree of coolness. You want to press your machine to the limits. You can't imagine a situation where you'd need this kind of airflow but you like knowing that it's available. You can use #6 32 1-1/4" screws to mount them to your radiator. Don't forget the washers. You're welcome. edit: Ladies and gentlemen, I am writing from the future - May 2020. The apocalypse has, in fact, come. (Perhaps it is worth mentioning that I am a resident physician, and during these trying times gaming gives me some relief.) Many parts of the machine have been upgraded in the months since my original review, but the fans remain. And they still work. Stay home. Save lives. Be sure to wash your hands. ... show more
