This is the best review and analysis of the noctua fans. Did not come up in the main search but hours later stumbled upon this video randomly recomended by youtube. Thanks!
I replaced my Gentle Typhoons with these. They have zero bearing noise and much less vibration transmitted to the case of my computer, making these a huge improvement at low speed, while they just about match the GTs at high speed.
www.reddit.com/r/hardware/comments/8ialtj/noctua_nfa12x25_first_impressions_oc/ I made recordings of GT versus Noctua which you can see there. You'll just have to take me at my word that the amount of air they pull through my furnace filter is pretty similar, and even if the GTs are slightly better there, the Noctuas are far quieter.
I used a high quality microphone on my DSLR with fixed audio gain from a set distance away in a silent room. In this way I could achieve repeatable results. Your ears are what will be listening to the fans in actual use, not a sound meter, so that's what really matters. If you want numbers, then wait for some other test. The only real limitation of the measurements I was able to take is the noise floor of my 60D's audio circuitry. In any case, the Noctuas are far quieter at low speeds, which is the most important regime for me; I turn my fans up to 100% only when I leave the room.
So which one would you recommend. I need 2 120mm fans. And the ML120 is $20 cheaper than the noctua. I’m mounting it to a gpu. Just asking if it’s worth the $20 extra.
that bracket to mount it on rads that are designed for 140mm fans is very cool, even mounting it on case where u have holes only for 140mm fans after modding for example. good stuff from noctua.
I just bought 3 of it to replace my Gentle Typhoon on the 360 mm radiator. current I don't see any temperature difference, but it truly way more silent than GT. Especially in low rpm, worth to upgrade.
To the people complaining about the color: For their "normal" fans they already have black versions. For this particular fan they are working on it, but the special plastic they are using here dosn't take color particles very well and that's why they are still working ont hat to get it right.
*_"To the people complaining about the color: For their "normal" fans they already have black versions."_* Sure, ignore the fact that you have to pay a lot extra for some of these black models...
I got one of these today but I’ve noticed the Y splitter has one 4 pin cable and one 3 pin cable. Is this correct? If so which plugs in where? The reason I ask is I have bought a 92mm noctua to replace my crappy factory exhaust fan and I’ve also now got this 120mm which I want as my intake. Only problem is that my motherboard only has one chassis fan header. My 92mm has a 3 pin connection and this 120mm has a 4 pin connection. However the 3 pin connectors on the Y splitter and the 92mm fan connector are different configurations so I’m not sure I can run both fans from one header.
Sugestion imo: use rpm instead of %. If you want to improve since you already are into this. Got one yesterday, it is good but I found mu sw3 140 more useful for my purpose since I need primarily silence combined with sub 1k rpm in all regimes.
Great video! I noticed in your noise level and temperature charts that there is no data for the SW3-120 or SW3-140 at 50%. Is that a limitation of the fans?
Fascinating data point. You should include that in your charts. I never would have guessed that running those fans at a low speed would cause them to overheat. Keep up the great videos!
Great marbling effect on the brown sterrox, I like it. Too bad they didn't hide that last bit of cable running to the fan. Nonetheless I can't wait for my order to arrive :)
Just put one of these in the same cooler on Wednesday. Trimmed the clips to fit easier. Newer Noctua heatsinks clip onto the outside face of the fan instead of the inside face like we have to for the NH-D14, so the new fan body isn't an issue on newer Noctua coolers. Does make you wonder why they shaped it that way, though.
Because we need maximum stability and minimum tolerance on the frame all the way to the corners. The problem is that if the fan is fixed with screws that go all the way through the frame like on watercooling raditors and if users apply excessive torque, the frame would slightly deform without these additional reinforcements. With a fan that has such tight tolerances as NF-A12x25, this can be critical. We understand that it's not ideal with the D14's fan clips, but it works very well with all other (especially newer) coolers!
I am sorry mate. I know this video as some time now but i am in a desktop build process. Can you give me your advice on what Noctuas should i buy for Fractal Meshify C? 2x Front intake? (120 / 140mm?) 2x Up intake or exhaust? (120 / 140mm?) 1x Rear exhaust (120mm) I would love to have Chromax Line Product to build a black theme. Cheers
This was a very good review, thank you. I actually drew a different conclusion from your results: Unless you intend to run the Noctua at 100% (at which it will already be noisy), it would be better to purchase the Be Quiet! Silent Wings 3. Here's why: According to your tests, the NF-A12 at 70% has identical performance (dT=54c) and noise (33.4 vs 33.8 dBa) with the BQ SW3 at 100%. In my country, the NF-A12x25 costs 1.5 times more than the BW3, and this truly adds up when you buy a pair (or two pairs) to cool your radiator. The main difference between the two is that the Noctua can do higher than 70%, so if you need that extra cooling than the Noctua will deliever. But at that point it will already be noisy, and there are other noisy, high-performance fans that will not cost as much as the Noctua's. However, there are plenty of things to apperciate about those fans: The 140mm bracket (Although I think if you have cash to buy the most expensive fans on the market, you'd probably prefer a high-end 140mm fan), all the adapters Noctua adds, etc.
Vandoeun Long even changing the colour of the fans changes the characteristics of the plastic. The only purposely coloured bit on these fans are the dampers. The rest is just that colour because that's what the bare plastic looks like
IMO - So far the NF-A12x25 is the best 120mm Computer Muffin Fan created. Just wish 'the manufacturers'' would use these as Power Supply Fans, where good CFM, and Static Pressure to push that air flow through those grills is really essential. But how would those Sterox Fan Blades hold up to that heat over time? (If you want to run PWM fans at full speed, all you need is the +12V and Ground connections).
Wonder how these compare to the Gentle Typhoons? I’ve used the GT’s forever and have been waiting for a new successor, but this may do it.... if they offer them in the redux colors
They're literally gentle typhoon knock offs. The GTs had a better mid range static pressure and about the same dBa with a less annoying noise profile, and now Noctua is releasing fans with the same design. The same pressure graph was released with the GTs as well.
What about checking vibration level?Any vibrating fan causes easily more noise when attached into case. And NF-P12 and NF-F12 which have come with (expensive) heatsinks have been one of the highest vibration fans I've ever touched and completely unacceptable.Any actually good fan rotates smoothly without any significant vibration.
you installed the brackets wrong., it should go into the outside part of the frame, not inside. that's why you're having problems with the asymmetrical holes.. lol
.. I'm confused .. the industrial series, always at 2000 rpm, has better performance and are just noisier (data taken from the official site) but has the old design ...
Because industrial fans can be loud, consumer-grade fans have to be more acoustically... sane. Also, with any of the PWM models they have pretty low minimum RPM's, much lower than their competition. With decent software you can run these fans, in idle-mode, at such low RPM's they fall below room ambient.
Apologies, you say a few things in the video that kind of get me off guard like "they're not the quietest fans because it runs at 2000rpm" what are you talking about? Any fan running at that rpm would be loud and audible. Secondly why do you have the audio level meter right up to the fan? Noone measures the noise levels like this, when the fan is in your system on your desk how far away from your ears is it? Measure it at least from 40-60cm away and consider using a case at least, that's what you could say a real world review would be, not cushioned up hanging from some string trying to get it in an absorption box, it's not real. When the Noctua fans are run i.e. at 1000rpm or 1500 rpm they ARE quieter compared to many other fans on the market that are run at the SAME rpm. There's tens of other videos that prove this, I feel this review wasn't really thought out. There are things you say that are on par with others and things that are just not and may be just you rambling on trying to just say words without thinking.
Good point, I meant that as when running at max speed compared to other fans I have running at max speed. That comment was not related to the amount of air being moved or rpm. I'll keep this in mind for future videos
@@UnicornReviews I don't mean to come across harshly and apologies if that sounds like it, I'm being constructive here. I do appreciate the time you invested to make it, but ask yourself this, If what you meant wasn't clearly explained or delivered in your videos, then what purpose does it serve when people searching for reviews about this fan need to then decipher what you meant?? This review is sub par and not up to scratch & there were other points in the video that clearly stuck out to me but it is what it is, you'll get there eventually I'm positive, work on your structure because few times you'd say one thing and conclude something opposing it, it's a very confusing video.

They might be great performance-wise but they are really ugly, at least in all black computers. I don't mind the brown but the frame color is really ugly!
So basically the NF-A12 @ 2000 RPM is only 2 degrees ahead of a SW3 @ 1450 RPM, what's impressive with that? I'm kinda really underwhelmed, so many claims were made for this new Noctua but it doesn't look impressive at all. (N) I feel bad...
Can't help but feel that if you're gonna be using these for radiators, there would be little difference between using these over much cheaper (half the cost!) redux NF-P12's..
I just came here because of the thumbnail..... please dust your radiator, please ! (also nice marketing ya did there; you probably figured that would be a reason someone would show up and decided to use it for said reason and hope they don’t click off. )
This guy drew out this video to over 10 minutes just for ads. The video didn't need to be this long. Any time you see a video that should be short but is over 10 minutes, downvote it and unsubscribe. These bigmouth youtubers are adding fluff, meandering, and have no consideration for our time.
These are definitely Gentle Typhoon knock offs, and by todays standards, GTs are very good, but not even close being top performers. So no "best fans ever" doesn't correspond right and I am very suspicious that Noctua pays a lot for good reviews
Who cares about 6 years warranty, as if that's so special with fans .😵💫 And as for those cables and your comment "Super awesome that they included that"; what's so awesome about that considering the huge price? 😵💫
Bob Smith I'm well aware of the use of that iconic colour scheme for marketing purposes. There isn't much of a reason why they shouldn't put it in a more neutral colour scheme. As of late the 'fanbase' seems to be decreasing with the increase of RGB and the huge improvements of other fan brands. There's no way they could make tan aaannnd black fans 🤔
They are already making black fans and from their exhibits, it looks like they are making more. Don't have this model yet unfortunately. I wish they make iPPC or at least black version of the S12A too, it is my favourite out of the bunch.
This is the best review and analysis of the noctua fans. Did not come up in the main search but hours later stumbled upon this video randomly recomended by youtube. Thanks!
Subscribed because I've been waiting for these fans for so long and you're the first reviewer that I can find!
FIRST! :p
Noctua is the best, only using them in my Systems, noise/performance levels are the best and actually i like the colour :D
John Bigbooty dont know that brand

In any case, the Noctuas are far quieter at low speeds, which is the most important regime for me; I turn my fans up to 100% only when I leave the room.
because I'm a consumer and i didn't claim to know every fan manufacturer and fan on the market....
Thanks for the review, i'll be picking up some of these!
So which one would you recommend. I need 2 120mm fans. And the ML120 is $20 cheaper than the noctua. I’m mounting it to a gpu. Just asking if it’s worth the $20 extra.
Hi
It pays off to install the NF-A12x25 PWM in a push-pull configuration in front of and behind the cooler in the housing?
that bracket to mount it on rads that are designed for 140mm fans is very cool, even mounting it on case where u have holes only for 140mm fans after modding for example. good stuff from noctua.
Good review, i order one for cpu and nf-s12a cromax for case, can you tell me the front led fan kit model? looks very good.
I just bought 3 of it to replace my Gentle Typhoon on the 360 mm radiator.
current I don't see any temperature difference, but it truly way more silent than GT.
Especially in low rpm, worth to upgrade.
You still have those typhoons by any chance?
To the people complaining about the color: For their "normal" fans they already have black versions. For this particular fan they are working on it, but the special plastic they are using here dosn't take color particles very well and that's why they are still working ont hat to get it right.
FlyT thanks for saying the actual reason. I'd love to get these fans but the looks...
People who do buy Noctua Fans buy them for their Performance not necessarily for their appearance.
*_"To the people complaining about the color: For their "normal" fans they already have black versions."_*
Sure, ignore the fact that you have to pay a lot extra for some of these black models...

Is the NF-A15 in your chart a 1500 RPM (the one included when you buy for example a NH-D15 heatsink) or a 1200 RPM (the ones sold individually) model?
SlmRhm1Brk I'm very interested in this too. There's a big difference between an NF-A15 at 1200RPM and 1500RPM.
It's the one that came with the d15
Unicorn Reviews That's even more impressive then! Great review by the way.
Unicorn Reviews thanks!
ltte2 I'd rather say it would have been even more impressive if it were a 1200 RPM NF-A15!
Saw the noise test setup -> subscribed.

No, they got too hot
Fascinating data point. You should include that in your charts. I never would have guessed that running those fans at a low speed would cause them to overheat.
Keep up the great videos!
It would be nice to know the power (watts) pulled by this fan, and more specifically, how many volts AND amps pulled by this fan. Thanks.
That's all listed on their website, probably 12V 0.2A
Great marbling effect on the brown sterrox, I like it. Too bad they didn't hide that last bit of cable running to the fan. Nonetheless I can't wait for my order to arrive :)

Noctua_at Oh, cool! Then my next question is why are the reinforcement gussets shaped differently on adjacent corners?
This is to allow the injection moulding tool to open after injection. This wouldn't be possible if all four corners had the rounded shape.
Noctua_at Social media game is on point. Good answers to the questions we have where and when we have them.
Pinned that to the top. Thanks Noctua!
I am sorry mate. I know this video as some time now but i am in a desktop build process. Can you give me your advice on what Noctuas should i buy for Fractal Meshify C?

Can I use this fan as case fan ( rear exhaust)? If not, please recommend best noctua 120mm fan for case exhaust
Your graphs are a bit difficult to read. Text is small and columns should be ordered by RPM.
This was a very good review, thank you.

Nothing awesome about these fans, what else would you expect considering the huge price for fans and add-ons!!
I got a question. Does the PWM fan splitter divide the power into 2? Like one fan runs at 6 watt and the other runs at 6 watt.
No, It takes the rpm readout from 1 fan and then splits the signal. It's hooked up in series so the voltage doesn't drop
they would sell many more if they had black and white variants
Vandoeun Long maybe they don't like money that much...
they have, check chromax
It's more expensive, so it does count.
ItsMeliTastic I can't find a chromax version of these new fans
Vandoeun Long even changing the colour of the fans changes the characteristics of the plastic. The only purposely coloured bit on these fans are the dampers. The rest is just that colour because that's what the bare plastic looks like
Also, you should install the fan, what brings the quietest fan when shaking the whole case?
Does that 120mm to 140mm adaptor also work on air coolers? I've only ever seen it on radiators.
IMO - So far the NF-A12x25 is the best 120mm Computer Muffin Fan created. Just wish 'the manufacturers'' would use these as Power Supply Fans, where good CFM, and Static Pressure to push that air flow through those grills is really essential.

Thx for the review
Are the silentwings 3 120mm fans the high speed versions or the normal ones?
normal version
@@UnicornReviews and the SW3 were louder? its advertised as the lowest
I love the color of the Fans, it reminds me of the interior of a porsche or mercedes
I would suggest that you test Phanteks static pressure fans. They sell them in 12mm & 14mm, they perform the same and are quieter in my opinion.
This work as a case fan radiator?
Noctua are amazing about their warranty too.
What about checking vibration level?Any vibrating fan causes easily more noise when attached into case.
And NF-P12 and NF-F12 which have come with (expensive) heatsinks have been one of the highest vibration fans I've ever touched and completely unacceptable.Any actually good fan rotates smoothly without any significant vibration.
Get static pressure fans for radiators. NF F12 normal or iPPC will perform better than air flow fans. Air flow are meant to be case fans.
These fans are both static pressure and air flow fans
I used to put those clamps into the holes for the screws.
After 2 years the 140mm is not available yet, why? A 140mm fan of this model would dominate the complete list of all fans in the world!
you installed the brackets wrong., it should go into the outside part of the frame, not inside. that's why you're having problems with the asymmetrical holes.. lol
great job. font-size on the legend for the graph a bit small though (hard to read/see)

Does it fit on the nhd15 cooler?
yes
you should explain a charte like the one at 8:00 a little bit more intense, just for the future
I love Noctua but they really screw them selves with the color... get with the program Noctua..
They might be great performance-wise but they are really ugly, at least in all black computers. I don't mind the brown but the frame color is really ugly!

they are making more noise
Nice
Arctic fans have 10 year warranty, are just as quiet and 1/3 the price of noctua.
0:55 "twelve millimeter" You meant 25.
We need chromax though
true
Noctua are shit at releasing anything in a timely manner. Still no black version years after the release of this fan.
The p fan is the fan this replaces. P is not pressure. F is
The P12 was the one before the F12, it was a pressure oriented fan
3:38 Pls dont Touch Fans this way to Put them Out.

thumbnail is just clickbait
you guys do realize that these are just Gentle typhoon knock offs with a vomit tan and diarrhea brown color scheme sold at nearly 2x the price? right?
No they are not. Youre just jelly that you bought one of the crappiest fans ever.
Notification Squad!
give me them in black or grey and i will buy 6

Shoop they're working on it
Whyyyyy this color schema is soooo uglyyyy
when you give up all looks in favor of performance
These colors is so ridiculous!
...but it's tan
why are you even here? They keep that color for marketing purposes... when people hear noctua, they instantly think about the tan/brown color scheme.
They'll lose so many potential sales all because of Noctua's colorblind CEO. The red color is actually fine, but the tanned frame is super fugly.
Bob Smith I'm well aware of the use of that iconic colour scheme for marketing purposes. There isn't much of a reason why they shouldn't put it in a more neutral colour scheme. As of late the 'fanbase' seems to be decreasing with the increase of RGB and the huge improvements of other fan brands.
There's no way they could make tan aaannnd black fans 🤔
They are already making black fans and from their exhibits, it looks like they are making more. Don't have this model yet unfortunately.
I wish they make iPPC or at least black version of the S12A too, it is my favourite out of the bunch.
