Testing and Results

When it came down to testing the Noctua NF-F12 PWM fan, I employed a very simple test. I connected the fan to my CoolerMaster Silent Pro Hybrid power supply which came with a fan controller. With the help of the fan controller I was able to listen to the fan at different speeds, and to my amazement the fan is as quiet as a whisper. Even when maxed out.

I noticed in my testing that unlike my stock case fan which blew air in every conceivable direction; the Noctua NF-F12 PWM fan had a more finite region that air would travel. The fan is perfectly designed to be used with a radiator or a CPU heat sink because of its focused flow frame design, which directs where the air will travel.

Moreover the two noctua fans were good enough to keep my computer cool at 30C-35C fitted in Bitfenix Shinobi Window Chassis .

In The End

Overall, the Noctua NF-F12 PWM fan is a magnificent fan and definitely maintains the moniker that has become associated with Noctua products. The fan just exudes excellence. There are at least several features that went into the making of this fan: its Focused Flow™ Frame, stepped inlet design, inner surface microstructures, sso2 bearing, metal bearing shell, Heptaperf ™ Impeller. These technologies have created one of the best fans on the market for cooling.

This fan is one of the best fan in market which can be used for any purpose like radiator , cpu heat sink or chassis fan . I must say that this is one amazing product and receive award by TechTipsnReview
