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.

"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. [...] If anyone needs a fan for their radiator or CPU heat sink, the NF-F12 is definitely the first fan I would recommend using." (Baron Whitfield, The Game Fanatics)
