Hey guys! Even though I've been reading a lot about them, PC fans are still black magic to me. Especially Noctua. Their premium priced NF-S12A at max speed is 17,8 db loud and moves 107,5 m³/h of air. These are neat specs, but then I found cheaper Enermax' fan - T.B. Silence PWM which at max speed is also about 18 db loud and moves 121,05 m³/h. Sure, it has slightly lower MTBF and much shorter warranty but it's cheaper better looking and moves more air at same sound pressure. What is the point of buying Noctua's fans then?

Noctua is known for building above average products that have a "built to last" reputation. They tend to be both efficient and effective and are generally worry free after being installed properly.

I have used many Noctua products over the years and have had ZERO issues with any of them.

Cost can certainly be a factor with Noctua products. But for what is offered in terms of reliability, it is hard to criticize their products otherwise.
