[T]he NF-A12x25 was also the quietest fan we tested when running at lower RPMs. Our numbers have it putting out less noise at 1200 RPMs than some fans running 300 RPMs slower. Since those mid-range speeds are generally more likely to come up in day-to-day use, that makes the NF-A12x25 an excellent choice for your average gaming PC, while still giving it the headroom to spin up to 2000 RPMs in the middle of a heatwave. Sure, Noctua's trademark brown fans will stick out like a sore thumb in whatever PC you build, but they're also a sign of quality and the NF-A12x25 lives up to the legacy. It's also a nice touch how many accessories come with the NF-A12x25, from a 12-inch extension cable and a Y-splitter to a bunch of rubber vibration dampers. The price is high, but it's hard to argue the value.

"Of all the fans we tested, this is the model that pumped the most air through our test rig." (Hayden Dingman, PC Gamer)
