Amazing ImprovementFeb 20, 2010
By Wd5don
I replaced a noisy 80mm fan with this one in the back of my case and the difference is nothing short of phenomenal. Now, most of the noise I hear is from the CPU and power supply fans, and if I'm not next to the machine it's often hard to tell that it's running...even in an empty house. Great product!
To the previous reviewer that couldn't tell the "low noise" and "ultra low noise" adapters apart, there is a small slip of paper that came with the fan. The adapter with the red shrink-wrapped part (resistor) is the low noise. The one with the black shrink wrap is the ultra-low noise. However, the fan is so quiet that I opted for the higher air flow and didn't bother with either of these.

I wanted to install a push/pull setup for my H50 radiator, so I wanted two identical fans. I installed these on the back of the case. I had the stock set up as intake, as suggested by Corsair, so I wanted to see if setting the fan up as exhaust really would downgrade performance. It did, the push/pull set up as exhaust cooled much worse than one fan as intake. So I reversed the fans, and set them up as intake, and it works great. I noticed that from stock to 3.8 Ghz I had virtually no temperature change on my i7 920 processor. So I run it at 3.8, core temperature idles under 40 C.
I have a CM Stacker 830 case (all fans 120 mm) , with these two fans set up on the rear exhaust opening as intake, and then I have two hard drive cages with fans in the front acting as intake. Then I have one fan on top set up as exhaust, and three more fans on the side set up as exhaust. The radiator causes some problems with the side door that holds the fans, so there is no fan over the CPU space.
I have the Noctuas connected to the MB CPU fan controller, using a fan cable splitter to ensure that both fans are running at the same RPM. The other six fans in the case are hooked up to a 6 fan controller in the front, and I keep those turned to the lowest level all of the time. I still can't hear the Noctuas running at full speed over the rest of my 120 mm fans running at slowest speed.

Great product!!!Jun 03, 2009
By emerilite
This is a fantastic product. My system use to sound like an airplane ready for takeoff until I got these. They are very quiet, efficient & use very little power.

Simply RemarkableApr 01, 2010
By Arthur Larkin
The Noctua NF-P12 case fan is really and truly remarkable. I'm currently using this 120mm fan in a push pull exhaust configuration along with the Corsair H50 liquid cooling system. Let me tell you I was speechless. I can hardly tell that my system is running. This fan is giving me high air flow by using psychoacoustic optimizations. The fan blades have vortex notches in them which enable the fan to run smooth as silk and deliver the air mass that is needed and required. I love my Noctua fans. Big ups for Amazon.

I have 3 in my case. They are still as quiet as the day I bought them.
