NF-A12x25 FLX,NF-A12x25 PWM,NF-A12x25 ULN
Well, Noctua took their sweet time with this and looks like it was all worth it in the end. [...] The NF-A12x25 is a fantastic fan for this purpose, and I am quite pleased to see a product that has had performance and noise as metrics for R&D over RGB lighting. Indeed, we see that the NF-A12x25 is among the very quietest of the fans tested so far (which includes some of the very best fans in the market) while performing in the better half of the segment. To provide more context, it is about as quiet as the Phanteks PH-F120MP (which I used to recommend to those prioritizing noise while still maintaining decent performance) while performing as well as the CORSAIR ML120 PRO RGB (which I used to recommend as an excellent performing fan). As it stands today, and pending the cost factor which we will get into in the next page, the Noctua NF-A12x25 is my overall top recommendation for watercooling fans from a performance/noise basis.
"The NF-A12x25 is a throwback from a company that revels in it, and the end results speak for themselves: it is a fantastic fan, and my top recommendation for PC watercooling enthusiasts looking for something that is tangibly better from a performance/noise basis." (VSG, techPowerUp.com)
