Review on πŸ’¨ Noctua NF-F12 iPPC 3000 PWM, High-Performance Cooling Fan, 4-Pin, 3000 RPM (120mm, Black) by Adam Wiedemann ᠌

Revainrating 4 out of 5

Impressions from the purchase are good, buy.

To increase air injection on the cooler and to cool the power circuits on the motherboard (it blows from the top down, the motherboard is horizontally oriented in this case), I added a case (Fractal Design Core 500) in mini iTX. In spite of this challenge, the cooler performed admirably, and the VRM temperature reduced by 20 degrees. Meanwhile, the entire step-down converter I used made it quite quiet. In general, I found the cooler to be quite useful for its intended purpose.

Pros
  • Very peaceful. Makes for a breeze. Although it is not explicitly stated anywhere, the kit does include a power cord splitter. A full low-speed adapter is also available.
Cons
  • Is it a minor point to point out that there is only one four-pin connector on the full splitter and two three-pin connectors?
