At anything under 80% power, I can’t hear a single thing from the A12X25 fan, but even at 100% power, it’s still relatively quiet and doesn’t bother me one bit. At 100%, the fan really moves a lot of strong directed air and cools the air as well. For the past two weeks after installing the NV-FS1, I haven’t bothered to turn it off at all. The fan has constantly run whether I’m at my desk or not, and I’d expect Noctua to welcome this use case as they stand behind their products. What I initially was unsure I ever needed on my desk has become something that is a must-have. The Noctua NV-FS1 is a powerful desk fan that is unmatched by, quite literally, anything on the market. It’s robust, well-built, stylish, powerful, and does everything perfectly. Plus, the entire unit is customizable, allowing you to mount it how and where you want or even replace the fan with a bigger one.

"Amazon returns over 3,000 results for “desk fan” on their marketplace, but I’d challenge anyone to find a better desk fan than the Noctua NV-FS1. The NV-FS1 is a meticulously overengineered, made-in-Taiwan masterpiece, just like everything else Noctua manufactures and I’m proud to give it the exclusive desk space it well deserves. Noctua has created an exceptional product that combines versatility and functionality." (Justin Vendette, QWERTY Articles)
