I bought two of these to round out my PC case and make sure it has airflow coming in and going out. My case is an older NZXT Source 210 and if you are familiar with that case you might know the front panel has somewhat limited air inlets. So much so that when I first installed these fans (set to full speed because I do not yet have a 4 pin extension splitter cable long enough to add PWM functionality from the motherboard) the noise level was not too bad with the front panel off. When I put the front panel back on, however, there was a pretty significant jump in noise due to the design of the front panel on this case.Now if you were to run these fans at about 60 or 70 percent on the same case, the added noise would be pretty negligible. And I mostly blame it on my case because it is definitely not the greatest front panel design in the world. I sort of fixed this a bit by removing the front panel and using some snippers to remove a lot of the unnecessary plastic barriers that were simply impeding airflow. That did help some on airflow but the noise level is still a bit more than I would like.However, I knew that having two 120mm fans spinning at 1200 RPM in my case was not going to be all that quiet. My primary reason for buying these was that the fans I had in there were old and of much lower quality than pretty much any Noctua fan and one of them would occasionally get very noisy and I'd have to remove it and take it apart and re-lubricate the bearing. I know from experience that Noctua fans last and pretty much never get noisier than they were when new and that is exactly what I want. I want nothing but Noctua fans in my PC and now I have that.The price on these is great. The RPMs are low enough to where you can run them at full speed without the noise level being terrible and they're fast enough to move a decent amount of air at that speed. I did buy another Noctua 120mm fan and it's speed is 1700 RPMs at full speed so I really have no choice but to run it in PWM mode. Which is a bit annoying because in PWM mode it's speed never goes above about 900 RPM. Which isn't what I want (I want at least 1100). So, since these budget Noctua fans do not come with any low noise adapters like the more expensive models, it's PWM or buy a fan controller that will give you exactly the speed you want.Overall, I really couldn't be happier though. I will probably eventually buy a four pin splitter but I do already have them hooked up to a fan controller. I just kind of had my hopes on getting that fan controller out of my case because it adds a significant amount of wire clutter.

Sehr guter Gehäuselüfter und sehr leise.

Its noctua, nothing more to say.

This is an incredibly quiet fan that moves a reasonable amount of air. This model prioritizes silence, thus there is not a blast of air coming from it, so do check the specs to make sure you choose the right one. It's impeccably made, beautifully packaged and comes in a splendid shade of gray. It's a premium device in everything but price.
