Why does Noctua make the best case fans?

Paid shills on 4chan? It's more likely than you think.

>>61067804
I don't think Noctua needs a marketing budget

>>61067781
They have the best engineers and also they're expensive so they can pay for better engineering and materials

>>61067893
I've only seen that they have the best support of any fan manufacturer, but otherwise are analogous to other fans on the market.

>>61067828
Because of shills
Theyr products are average for high-end prices
noctua shills are worse than apple shills

>Check reviews
>Noctua does not win single one be it cooling/silence
>Noctua cost 2-10x price of products that beat noctua
>FKGT

Any self-lubricating fan is 90+% noctua quality
Do not fuck up the blades design = already there
Do anything more=beats noctua.

>>61067907
Look at benchmarks, their fans are always near the top

I've tested a lot of fans personally and Noctua sounds way better than most, their sound signature is very unobtrusive

Be quiet is better aesthetics though.

Seriously...Who thought brown and tan was a good color choice?

another meme

>4 years to (copy) """""design"""" the gentle typhoon

shit company

Premium things are always diminishing returns. To be any better than very good takes a lot of effort, which costs money. Like trying to go faster and faster in a car, you eventually need a lot of power for that extra 1 mph increase in speed thanks to drag and air thickness multiplying in front of you.

I hate Noctua and I love Noctua. I have three Noctua NF-F12's, even though their color scheme is the ugliest and farty color scheme. Silence is the key. https://pcpartpicker.com/product/b2vRsY/noctua-case-fan-nff12pwm

When I was putting this pc together, I immediately disregarded these ugly brown-on-tan Noctua NF-F12's for the simple reason that they were brown-on-tan. I knew nothing about Noctua at the time. A friend asked how my build was going and I told him I was almost done and about to order some Fractal Design GP-12's to fill out my Fractal Design Define Mini C case. Nice black and white fans. Case comes with two of them already. He told me about Noctua fans, invited me over to see his Noctua's in action. The fans really are ugly but they really are silent at medium speed and barely noticeable at full speed even in a quiet room.

I now have three Noctua NF-F12's pulling in from the front of my case. I use the two Fractal Design GP-12's to exhaust out the back and out the top. I might swap out the GP-12's for NF-F12's eventually. I was initially going for a black and white color scheme but the low decibels of the ugly Noctua fans have made me accept the fact that there will be ugly brown-on-tan in my black and white case. I hate Noctua for that. But I love them for the low decibels.

Noctua's customer service is legendary

because their engineers are austrian swingers who are liberal and get sex regularly unlike the typical neckbeard engineer that's still a virgin

Noctua is the quietest fan when running at sub 600 rpm, everything else gets PWM noise when spun that low

>>61068932

fans are the fastest dying components on any pc

They have some industrial experience it seems and just applied that knowledge under a certain price constraint. The other case fan "manufacturers' are a joke, and most electronics case fans are basically trinkets.

I have only tried their Redux series and I was very happy with what I got. I have only used fans that I got together with the case in the past.

How do Noctuas compare to Fractal and Corsair fans? Any other brand I should be looking for when buying fans?

Be quiets are also slightly cheaper than Noctua in additional to being as quiet and not having horrible colors. Noctua's industrial fans are gray/black but they are loud as fuck.

>>61070156
>>61068631

>noctua dust,and water proof fans are loud they are industrial

clearly not for gaymen

Only paid $22.50 for a 5 pack of Arctic F12 PWM PST fans. I can barely hear them running even at 1200rpm and they do their job just fine.

>>61067950
I find theirs to be a lot worse personally. I'll take the Thermalrights and Gentle Typhoons over their AF-15s and NF-P12s. I own both. Up to preference I guess.

>>61070533
Bequiet is also a meme

>>61070969
I tried Thermalright and didn't like their sound signature compared to Noctua

Never tried the Gentle Typhoon

I also liked Be Quiet, pretty comparable to Noctua IMO

You don't buy Noctua for the lowest temps period, you buy them because they usually come quite close to the lowest temps but with much less noise. Of course a 5000rpm turbo Delta screamer is gonna cool better, but not everyone wants to sit next to a case full of them.

Additionally, my case and its fans will likely last through a few builds--I'd rather pay more now and have something lasting then deal with replacing buzzing/clicking fans every year or so.

>>61069008
lolwut? two quite cheap revoltec fans I bought 2005 are still running in a friend's case. a drop of lube every other year and they just keep going.

>>61067781
Objective tests don't really confirm that, so I believe it's a "meme". Just like for example Hyper 212, which is not the best price/perf cooler and pretty much never was.

>>61070533
None of the fans you specified are any good. Dozens of reviews have found them all to be on par with shitty fans that come standard when you buy a cheap case.

>>61068274

>>61067781
Because overclockers are almost as gullible as audiophiles, and they're willing to drop loads of cash for negligible performance improvement.

>>61068299
>Premium things are always diminishing returns. To be any better than very good takes a lot of effort, which costs money.

Noctua isn't better at anything though. What's the point, and how/why are they even considered "premium"?

>>61074262

Nobody builds a better cpu cooler mounting system than them. Plus their customer support is second to none which is a factor.

I doubt Noctua will last very long too at a constant max RPM, in which case the warranty might even make sense.

Also most maglev bearing fans don`t even use lube.

>>61076800
all the fans I've had before started becoming twice as noisy after 1-2 years. The Noctuas I'm using have been on for as much time and they are still silent. I actually put back my old gelid silent fans as a test, and they were more noisy now, despite being completely silent when I bought them.

>>61067781
Too bad their fans have a horrid fucking failure rate. I built two systems around the same time with noctua fans in december. 4 of the 10 fans between the two systems have died, one of the replacements they sent me has also died.

Not really needed in 2017. Your radiator takes care of your CPU and your GPU has its own fans. Board chipset and RAM can be passively cooled.

I am not "shilling". I just love Noctua. They are the best fans. I treat anti-Noctua people like anti-vaccine people. Like retards. You are not just buyin' a "fan" it is a investment.

>>61093869
this and the components are pretty low powered. you usually don't need a lot of fans unless you're an autistic overclocking freak who cares if the temperature reading is a couple of degrees lower. the fewer fans you have, the less noisy your pc is. in the current year you don't need to have a noisy pc.

>>61093932
Your PC will be less noisy with fresh air coming in because the CPU fan will slow down. Better having 1 CPU fan and 3 case fan at low speed than going full retard and having your CPU fan alone going full speed anytime it processes shit.

Give me some sort of evidence that this is true. If you had said air cooler I would've believed you as fans are relatively unlikely to fail (looking at tens of thousands of hours expected lifetime) but I have my doubts the cheapest, nastiest AIO pump can sustain full tilt for 6 years.

they warranty on the AIO is 5/6 years, that means they're rated for the time period.

If you buy an AIO with and 1 or 2 year warranty, it's junk and they have no faith in its ability to last.

>This year summer is unbearable.
you mean you want a fan for cooling yourself rather than your computer?

The Noctua might be better but the ML 140 has better aesthetics.

>>61095806
No, I already got one for myself.

>>61095252
>>61094537
fans failing isn't even the biggest issue, they start to grind and make clicking noises way before they actually stop spinning

AIOs are the fucking worst, they use dangerous hazardous materials while pumps, swishing water is noisey as fuck and you have to deal with noisey as fuck fans regardless...

They don't. What are Noiseblockers.

after about 3 years the fractal fans that came with my R4 + the extra one I bought are noticeably not as dead silent as they originally were.

one of the front fans even turns off completely when I set the fan controller in the front of the case to low speed. worked fine when it was new. what the fuck is up with that?

I`ve used sewing machine oil on old 10+ year old fans, I`m sure its good enough, at least for a while.

I grabbed one of these and it was disappointingly loud, about the same noise level as the standard fractal fans.

EK's 140mm fan

- Speed: 2500 rpm (+/- 10%)
- Rated Voltage: 12V DC
- Power Draw: 9.07W
- Dimensions: 140 x 140 x 25 mm
- Max Air Flow: 144 CFM = 244 m3/h
- Static Pressure: 5.28mm H2O = 51.8 Pa
- Noise Level: 48.4 dBA

Looks a lot worse than the 109P1412H101 in every spec including power draw except for life expectancy.

The EK lasts for 10000 more hours.

>>61101269
the specs are full of shit. even if the specs are accurate for a brand new fan the noise level will be higher by the time it reaches the end of its life expectancy. and just the sheer dBA measurement doesn't tell you if the noise has an annoying pitch or a ticking sound etc

I have 3 of these in my computer and they don't make noise, mine are not PWM but my motherboard can modulate their spinning rate with tension. They're running at low speed in idle, and under load I only hear a quiet "breath".
Maybe you got a bad one, or you constantly run them at full speed.

what models are referenced because industrial noctuas don't have acoustics prioritized but they're still very silent when controlled

obviously scythe slip stream and gentle typhoon were always the contender alternatives, sanyo denki for industrial also

>>61104542
Looking good. GT's specs match the CFM through rad specs.

>>61104038
Who is san ace? First time I've heard of them and that silent M looks pretty good. Also, nidec and scythe are related, right? Both look nice as well.

This, have 1 exhaust at full speed, NHD15 on auto pwm and 2 pull top mid on turbo preset pwm

all 3x sso2 nf a14 industrialppc 3000 in a fractal design define S, noise is fine performance is top

one could go scythe slipstream or gentle typhoon as alternatives but noctua is the best no shill this is a constant besides they don't even deserve to be mainstream and people that have them usually stfu

>>61106872
>100+ quantities
Ah...

...so, that picture reminds me, anyone happen to also have a noise characteristic graph to go along with these charts? Sound pressure isn't the end all be all of fan noise.

Haven't read anything really ITT but I'll give my 2 cents. Cooler Master Silencio 120mm are good. Great for heatsinks and radiators. They're usually around the $22 mark.

Then there are the Vortex 120mm and 140mm pwm fans from cougar. Move a great amount of air and are silent. The 140mm particularly excels here. The 140mm is usually $20. The 120mm about $17.

Quiet, available in PWM or not, and in many sizes. You can easily build a whole system with them. Though their current PSUs are not that good.

oh hell yeah why isn't this more common lol like every hobbyist rc car has a brushless motor these days

>>61108292
Now this is much more convincing than the trash >>61108204 put out. A lot on the picture could be written off as people genuinely excited or as falseflaggers trying to incite OS wars. But I can't write off the Nokia posts. That's too real. Still, there is no indication that they work for their promoted companies and to say that legit shilling goes on, that's an essential piece of the puzzle.

>>61108374
Because fucking cucks are too busy buying what's marketed to them. Noctua, Scythe, Corsair, all bow to Deltas and Sanyo Denki fans.

>>61097517
did you mean oil for guns or the personal lubricant named gun oil? cause the latter would probably be good for fans actually but if it's oil for guns it might harm the plastic depending on what kind it is
