This test is pretty straight foward, I took two NF-F12 fans and put them onto a Corsair H100, simply replacing the Corsair fans supplied with the H100. The idea of this test is to compare the results against the original fans and see if they have better temps and to also test how noisy they get. [...] Now the results are nearly identical, while there is a certain degree increase nearly across all 6 cores. The fantastic thing is that the fans were extremely quiet. Infact, they were less noisy on high compared to Corsair fans on low. Okay, it’s now time to wrap this review up. There isn’t that many ways to properly test a fan, and to be honest, I generally didn’t expect much over Noctuas famous P12 fans, which i still believe are amazing fans. The NF-F12 fans however do seem to work extremely well and have great efficiency cooling down the H100 radiator. The best part is that they do it while staying extremely quiet, and i must that that is where Noctua always seem to shine. They made a fan that can not only keep up with Corsairs 2500rpm fans airflow wise, but they do it while staying at around 22dBA. That is just something to marvel at and I don’t think any other fan manufacturer has been able to accomplish.

"There really isn’t much more to say, the simply fact is that these fans are incredible and move alot of air, they do it without making much noise, this is exactly what everyone looks for in a fan. The idea behind these fans is that they are specifally designed to work better with heatsink and radiators and they have done just that. Congrats to Noctua for killing it again with another amazing product, the Notcua Nf-F12 gets the Geek Tech Gold Award." (Craig O'Sullivan, GeekTech.ie)
