NF-F12 PWM
The main difference was that the Noctua fans although definitely noticeable were not annoying like the stock fans. The stock fans at maximum rpm sounded like something was trying to claw its way out of the case while the Noctua fans, although not silent, were pushing a lot of air without being intrusive. Take a look at the respective fan speeds – the Noctua FX-F12 PWM fans are on the right. [...] We’re impressed with Noctua’s first PWM fan, the NF-F12. It has allowed us to reach the highest possible overclock of our very hot-running FX-8150 and we are OCCT-stable at 4.6GHz without destroying our hearing and our sanity with the stock fans.
"We give this unique and improved fan our ABT’s Editor’s Choice Award. The Noctua NF-F12 PWM fans have saved our sanity and our hearing in benching our FX-8150 stably, contrasted with the stock fans of the AMD Liquid Cooler which were noisy and very irritating at the maximum rpm of the extreme preset. If you want quiet and performance, the Noctua NF-F12 PWM fan comes highly recommended based on our experience with a pair of them." (Mark Poppin, AlienBabelTech.com)
