Whilst I was struggling to see why the average PC Gamer might go for these over the Premium or Redux ranges, Australia has some really dusty and humid locations. These fans in a consumer PC setting (as opposed to the industrial applications that they were designed for) would be well suited to a board like the TUF series from ASUS that has thermal armour with dust covers and a high humidity rating. Another urban scenario could be for a PC or small home server in your shed or garage, in which case these might be worth a look. They are black, have a great range of low RPM to high RPM and although they can get loud at full tilt, at the lower RPM, these are quiet and still effective with a stealthy look about them.

"I was really surprised to see the level of innovation with the Industrial PPC range. Noctua kept all the design features that made the NF-F12 and NF-A14 premium fans awesome but changed the motor, strengthened the construction materials, and then made them either dust/water resistant or dust/water proof."
