this fan is no longer officially available by Noctua, they sell it now part of the REDUX series, get em while you can. Otherwise you will have to settle for the redux verison, which are shades of gray but do come with PWM, but lack anti vibration mounts which can be bought separately.Fan is great, I personally love this color scheme, it is iconic and I hope they don't do away with it. It is quiet, at full speed you kind of hear it, but only when you try to hear it. The noise is comparable to a very low hum, depending what is right in front or behind it, wind noise can differ depending on what kind of restriction it is pulling or pushing the air through. So not everyone will have the same result, just keep that in mind. But this one should be a safe bet for most people.I use those as case fans for my Thermaltake V71, which I have replaced the stock 200mm fans with, which were quiet, but now it is nearly dead silent.

These fans (3) were purchased to improve ventilation of an electrical cabinet and a berth area in a cruising boat. Since they operate on 12 volts and use very little power I thought they would be ideal for this application. A pair of custom panels were created to mount the fans and they have been installed and wired through a 12 volt DC timer. This allows the fans to be activated at various times throughout the day when I am not at the boat. So far these fans have exceeded my expectations. Power consumption is low, they move a lot of air and are quiet. At 5 or 6 feet away they are silent. I realize this is not a typical application for this product but since these fans operate well in this environment they should do well cooling a computer.

silent, blow a good amount of air compaired to the nzxt 140 fans that come with the switch 810 and more than the Cooler master essentials 140 1000 rpm than i own too.as always with noctua, great bundle, great quality.well, with the price you pay, at least.rubber at the corner, rubber fix, sleeved extension...bad point, not pwm and my corsair link can not command it.anyway there 2 adaptors in the bundle that decrease the speed from 1200 rpm to 900 / 750.for the french speaking ones, watch hardware.fr that should go out with a 140mm fans round up (the 120 pwm and dc is already out and surprising for noctua)

This fan is awesome!I built a silent beast with the help of Noctua.I used this as my window fan, and it pulls the heat away from my video card like nobody's business.I use the low noise adapter, and it still pushes plenty of air while being completely silent.While playing games at max with a 660TI at full load,this fan still keeps up with the cooling even with the low noise adapter installed.I have a Noctua for my CPU cooling fan as well.Even while playing Battlefield 3 at MAX @ 1080P, I can pause the game in a silent room andyou still can't even hear my PC. Amazing!The mounts on my window are for a 120mm fan, but the vent is round and extends past the screw holes.This fan matches up with the opening perfectly, forcing all the air out the window.The vibration reducing mounts are great; I was surprised how much noise those alone took away from the PC.These are the best PC fans money can buy.If you are serious about cooling, noise or longevity of your system, look no further.
