  Impressive

  No need to say, the finish is amazing (even if the packaging is very cheap), the performance is phenomenal ! Mounted in push-pull on a rad 120 watercooling, I never crossed the bar of 60° in full (and gained 18°c compared to the old fans). But this has a price: the noise! Basically (and having 3 75W fans in my room running non-stop at max) I'm anything but picky about noise pollution: BUT this fan is inaudible above 2500rpm, it's a real instrument of auditory torture! I had to PWM it at 2500rpm max to avoid going crazy). I had to set it to 2500rpm max to avoid going crazy). So take it with full knowledge of the facts, because my PC is quite far from my office, and yet the noise was driving me crazy. It's not 48 decibels, but 63! So go for the 2000rpm version if it's for a bedroom tower! Your ears and your mind will thank you.

  Perfect

  For cooling a tower that acts more like an oven than anything else, they are perfect.
  Even at low speed, the airflow is superior to other brands of fans and is completely inaudible.
  Be careful though, because after 50%, you won't hear anything in your room (except these fans). Same comment on the 140mm.

  One more Noctua Perfect

  I do not regret my purchase of this Noctua fan.
  It is a joy in my case.
  I bought 3 of this model and I notice that it is not noisy except in the extremes but it is logical.
  So very good product.

  Watercooling mounted muffler

  I bought this fan to mount on a watercooling system to replace the fan that was sold with it. I haven't had a chance to test it to its full potential yet, but so far I haven't heard it.

  Perfect

  I took these fans to use on a 360mm radiator and I'm delighted, in normal use, not very noisy, but when you have to blow, it's a blast "convelableyfaut" 5 stars well deserved for this quality product

  Powerful but noisy

  3000rpm, 187m3/h, the figures speak for themselves, it's a blast! So obviously, at 3000rpm, it makes some noise, with a helmet during the games it's ok... On the other hand, if your wife is sleeping next to you, you might sleep on the mat...
  Another possibility is to manage your speed according to the temperature of the box. 1/2 star less just for the noise at 3000rpm, just to quibble!

  Efficient but noisy even at low speeds

  I had hoped that its design would make it a fairly efficient fan at low speed and still be quiet, just like my ultra-powerful Scythe fan that I had to replace. In fact, this is to be expected as the silence argument is never mentioned in its technical details, so I wasted 30€ and had to buy a new fan.

  Perfect

  2 fans that I took with me to Brazil where I live. Installed on the side of the hard disks in a Phanteks Enthoo Luxe enclosure; work great! Controlled fan speed; no excessive noise. Result: help with air intake while cooling the motherboard components.

  Powerful

  For people who are looking for box fans with a consequent air flow, this model is perfect but beware of the noise, for a comfort at this level the coupling with a rheobus is more than recommended

  An aircraft

  I'm having major problems with my laptop heating up.
  All the cooling pads with integrated fans I've had so far were ineffective, even the best ones.
  So I decided to make my own system by raising my laptop and putting this fan connected to the mains underneath.
  There are 4 wires, and once 2 wires were stripped I connected it to a 5V-1A power supply. The fan didn't even start.
  So I put it on a 12V-2A, and there I must admit that it does the job. Big aeroplane engine, a big "vouuuuuuh" as soon as I plug it in, but in 5 minutes I lose 30°C :-)
  
  So I didn't test it connected to the pwm but for those who would like to connect it to the mains, opt for 12V-1A for a reasonable noise, and 24W for a plane that cools a room :)

  Quiet and low cost

  Small price for this rather quiet and light fan.
  Seems to be relatively robust despite the somewhat cheap looking plastics. The thickness is surprising compared to what it is capable of.
  No vibration or other defects found.
