I am looking to purchase 4 noctua nf-f12 industrial pwm fans. I am seeking to hook these four fans up to a single splitter and then proceed to connect it to my fan controller. My fan controller is an nzxt sentry 3. On the product page the sentry 3 claims support of 15 watts per channel on the controller.

TLDR: My question is how many watts does a single Nocuta fan utilize.

Extra question how quiet are the industrial versions? I am planning on a color coordinated system and they would be very aesthetically pleasing.

Thank you ahead of time.

Each fan uses a maximum of 0.6W, meaning 4 of them consume 2.4W, meaning nothing you should be concerned about.
For industrial version, if it's the 2000RPM version (which is more than enough and even more than you actually need) and it draws 1.2W of power.

The normal version, which again is more than enough for you, is 22,4 dB(A) without the L.N.A.(18,6 dB(A) with LNA), while the 2k rpm industrial version is 29,7 dB(A) and does not support LNA.

Normal version is 1500 RPM (1200 with LNA) while the industrial is 2000RPM (there is a3000rpm version but its an overkill).
Short story, industrial is too much but that choice is up to you.
