For mediocre performance RGB products I turn to other vendors.

    Looks good if Noctua made something like that I'd buy it, as long as it wasn't crazy expensive.
    I do wonder if this affects the fans performance as these games are engineered very precisely, after coming them up like that they may not perform quite the same. So if you want RGB fans might be better off just buying RGB fans.

  • @henkki1000
    @henkki1000 5 років тому +1

    That fan was carefully engineered to have only a 0.5 mm clearance from the tip of the blade to the frame. They had to develop a new liquid-crystal polymer compound to make sure the fan blades don't creep due to the centrifugal force. There is also a metal reinforced motor hub to improve precision. They showed prototypes year after year on tech conventions until finally they got it ready for mass production.
    Then you saw it in half, glue it back together and stick some rgb in there. It was hard to watch.

      Noctua will never stoop to the RGB level. Their fans are made with way higher tolerances and miniscule as possible blade tip clearances. As well as producing rotor wheels that won't stretch over time. No room for RGB when you make ugly, but very effective cooling fans.

    man if only noctua didnt take ages to release things id love to see a black 140mm of the 12x25 fan but at this point we still dont even have black versions of the 120mm or even a 140mm version yet

    So could that modification be done on other non-RGB fans? Thanks & great design! 🤓

      Possibly, but it really depends on how the fan you want to mod as been designed. This design was built specifically for the NF-A12x25 and would need to be changed to accommodate other fan frame designs.

      @@2GuysTek thanks for the reply! Some spaced holes could be put in the original round frame, the RGB lights would shine thru, but think it would only put a point of light, not diffused. 🤓
