Still the best 120x25mm fan I have in terms of noise-normalised performance, and general quality - of course the Phanteks F120T30 is better if you have the room for it. I do wonder how it compares to the Sanyo Denki 9RA1212P4G001 though.

I really appreciate you clicking your mouse so we have a comparison, i honestly cant beleive how quiet that is, next time i need some fans, i'll definitley go with noctua
I would say to avoid most of the other 120mm/140mm Noctua models (except the NF-A12x15 is pretty good), there are better options in those cases. But the A12x25 is very good, especially if you can't fit the Phanteks T30.
@@ydihtty what fan can u suggest for my deepcool aio? the default fans are too loud
@@user-de9dg9rg9m What size is your AIO?
@@ydihtty i have got t30! they are amazing bro!
@@ydihtty Hey, I have a 360mm corsair 150i pro aio. After more than 5 years the default fans really suck and are extremely loud. Which fans would you recommend?
These fans are just so much better than anything else. Simply the best there is.
They better be for that ridiculous price!!!! 🤣🤣🤣🤣
try looking a p12 slim on this channel, it's quieter and cheaper in my opinion
@@sultanjayakusumah519 Noctua fans come with an adapter to run at slower speeds for a quieter fan. The default plug of the fan runs it at higher rpms for more cooling performance.
@@sultanjayakusumah519 Forgot to mention I have a p12 slim 140mm size and I have to run it at the slowest possible setting with an external fan controller to get it to be silent. I am buying a noctua fan of equivalent size and will run it with the silent adapter to see if it runs faster with less noise.
they're insanely overrated if i'm gonna be honest people make it out like there is a huge difference between competitors. not really
These are basically silent at 1000 rpm which is crazy good.
most fans are "silent" at 1000rpm, its that slow. personally I find noctua fans to have a really annoying humming sound and cheaper fans like arctic to be quieter with just about the same temps. noctua fans are built like tanks but has overrated performance compared to the competition.
@@Stance1988arctic are quieter? No way, i had those fans 6 months ago maybe. They are no match against these. I would say they sound similar to the redux s12b or p12.
@@Stance1988 There is no such thing as a quiet fan at 1000rpm.
Brilliant channel for fan reviews. There is no nasty high pitched sound with these unlike the Arctic P12s.
no way i found this comment its like you are literally describing my issue lol. i need to replace these arctic fans i hate their noise even at 1000 rpm
@@SirMuteb I remember that the noise was low, but I still didn't like it. Shame, as I was a "fan" of Arctic fans up until that discovery. The Noctuas are still serving me well.
@DaveThompsonfairlife4all arctic is the sudden rise when it needs to do more work after 1000 to 1100 rpm you really hear the noise and then it calms down then go back up again if it was constant I may be OK with it but the shift in noise is really irritating.
@@SirMuteb Yep, totally agree. I bought these for my RX580 card and it's been great.
@@DaveThompsonfairlife4all thank u so much I will buy them soon
Price is high, but other than the care they put into the sound signature you also pay for support. I got 3 of them used for 30€, after a while one of them developed a very slight sound when they went from high to low RPM. I contacted support just to ask if it was a normal sound and they immediately offered to replace them even though they were used, af the time they were three years old.
LOL.
i've had the same issue and they ABSOLUTELY didn't want to send me another one.
They want me to cut fan blade and if i don't do that they won't send me or anything.
Noctua is a joke, like "can you destroy our product ?" like, the hell is that ?
@@AquilaeYT what? That's standard, it's an RMA not a random "we're sorry" gift. Break a fan blade and they'll send a replacement. In my case, they sent 3 new fans.
I could be wrong but i swear this one sounded a bit quieter than the black version in your other video.
Love these videos btw. Sooo helpful with the RPM and db's in the background
These fans regarding noise are elite tier, credit where it's due. But man are they expensive, 120$ for 4 fans...
You get what you pay for I guess lol
They're pricey, but you do get what you pay for. It also comes with vibration pads with multiple colors. If they sold the Chromax.Black version with just the black vibration pads, then it may have cut down the cost. I bought it for Chromax.Black, not the other color options. I thought that was a strange choice. They should have sold the pads separately.
$ 120.00 for a kit with 4 Noctua fans and that's worth about $ 30.00 each. Here in Brazil if I take into account the price in dollars the price paid for each would be $ 48.30.
4 fans = $ 193.20
Can't believe i am hurting myself and my PC for keeping my basic Corsair fans and my AMD Spire, i really need to change those. Thanks a lot for the videos it's really helpful !
An outlandish price, but unlike most other modern tech at outlandish prices, this one justifies it by truly being the best of the best. You like to see it
Damn these are amazing, thanks for your testing. I'm making a build with only these fans, 3070 noctua edition, noctua nhu12A cpu cooler and three of these fans on the case.
Update I did build it and it was mega silent. Too bad I got severe tinnitus shortly after, now all I hear is that...
@@axeldeeker5644 Well my man, welcome to the tinnitus club, I also have tinnitus, only in my right ear thankfully, but my outer ear is basically damaged so I cannot feel bass in it
Tinnitus has a very supportive community around it though
@@SakugaAsu In my case it's inhabilitating, I'm a conservatory student and have very sharp hearing. Now I have hearing loss and severe tinnitus with no apparent cause, no sensory hearing loss diagnosed. I always wear earplugs when I play and practice, this is unfair frankly.
@@SakugaAsu Feels rough to say, I've spoken to many psychiatrists and have come to the conclusion that if treatment is not possible, I will have to end my life in seven months. I cannot live like this
I have a pair of this stuck on a deshrouded Red Dragon 6800XT. They are completely silent under 700 RPM and barely noticeable around 1300 RPM and that's how I set them up. Extremely high build quality and balance of the blades.
best fan I experienced so far.
I find even at max RPM, it's not that loud. It has a pleasant tone to it and one of my favorite fans, maybe tied with the T30.
The mouse click was superb
I rpm read out hell yeah you know how to make a noise video💯👌🏻
Thank you for the video. It allowed me to make a comparison with the ones I just bought. Now I know that my fans sound the same between 1000 and 2000 RPM. Unfortunately, the high frequency is a bit too much for my liking. But anyways, I will keep them.
thanks for making this video XD
This is why you buy Noctuas folks
Best testing channel ever. Respect.
I think a better test would also measure the mass flow rate and air speed.
Waiting for Phanteks T30 120🤗
Already done here ua-cam.com/video/GJtVJO-ZbEI/v-deo.html
@@ydihtty ty 🤗 wish u channel grows more and more
All the reviews of the Phanteks F120T30 seem to compare it to the Noctua NF-A12x25 at higher fan speeds. I'm generally more interested in the silent speeds. On these videos, I start to hear the Noctua at ~1150 rpm, and the Phanteks at ~850 rpm. I'd be curious to know how the airflow and pressure test compare at those RPMs.
I think any reviews that test noise-normalised performance will answer your question. Of course, the same noise level will sound different across different models, which is why my videos exist.
@@ydihtty I have seen some reviews that noise normalized the results, though they were at way higher noise levels than I was interested in.
make one where it's just the fan running for ten minutes ,
half an hour or so no mouse clicks
Norm cylers sound :)
What noise?
Waiting for MSI MEG SILENT GALE P12🙏
It probably sounds the same as the Toughfan. I'll add it to my list anyway.
The corsair AF120 is the same thing but has rgb, if your willing to pay that price though
Great video! How do you control the fans speed? Any kind of external fan controller?
I used NA-FC1 for controlling PWM fans.
@@ydihtty wow this controller is even from Noktua! Super! Thank you :)
They sound so loud and then you click your mouse and it like completely drowns it out at 1500rpm. Crazy
How are you powering it and controlling it? That thing pushes serious air!
@@uhN0id Noctua NA-FC1
I'm choosing between this and the Phantek T30 for my CPU Cooler. My only focus is noise, as my CPU is an i5-12400f, which is very easy to cool. Which would be better for purely noise reduction? Thanks.
What did you decide?
Are these the best radiator fans in your opinion? i'm looking to replace my horrible ek-vardar fans. I see the NB-eLoop also doing very well in tests for less cost. What is your opinion?
I personally prefer these over NB-eLoops, but there's probably not a huge difference between them.
whats is the program for use for RPM this fans
how do you test the fans? software hardware
wow my volume is at 100 percent and i can barely hear it
suggestion: make a review about fans
Maybe, but I don't have a proper methodology for thermal tests yet. I need to work on it more.
What script do you use to control the RPM? Could you share it? Thanks
I just use a Noctua NA-FC1.
@@ydihttywill you even make a return?
Hi, what is the most quiet and best 140mm fans? :D
Arctic P14 and Noiseblocker eLoop 140mm are both good, I can vouch for them. The Scythe Kaze Flex 140 and be quiet! Silent Wings Pro 4 140mm also look good but I haven't tried them yet.
I have this one as a rear fan... And at 1300-1400 rpm i can hear the motor noise we can hear in the video... Is there any fan completely silent below 2000 rpm?
I don't think you will find any 120mm fan which is completely slient below 2000 rpm, and still moves a useful amount of air.
@@ydihtty why don't I hear any noise from my watercooling fans? It's written 1900 RPM on System Information Viewer (SIV) of Aorus. Maybe since my watercooling system has two fans it's the sum of the two fans RPM ?
@@abbaa8284 the RPM You see is probably from the pump
@@eriksrandomvideos7046 so what does RPM mean from the pump perspective?
@@abbaa8284 the pump can have a lot higher rpm than fans and still be relatively quiet
How low can these bad boys in terms of RPM?
i think their lowest is 400-450
Which app is this?
Just a basic python script to read the RPM that I wrote myself, and the control is done using Noctua NA-FC1
My fan ( Sunon fan 12cm) run ning at 8000 rpm :)))))
whats CFM?
The rated airflow @ 2000 RPM is 102.1 m^3/h, or 60.1 cfm.
Don’t shoe it when you click cause its ******* annoying
Shoe?
its for a noise comparison...
seriously, was "******* annoying" necessary?
