What the fuck is up with this cancerous brand? Every where you

>>62233120
poorfags wouldn't understand.

>>62233120
Empirical tests and benchmarks consistently place them at the top every time. You're paying for consistency as much as quality with a little brand-name sugar on top.

go buy some delta fans faggot

>>62233140
>Source: MY ASS

Be Quiet and Coorsair consistently come within spitting range of their performance at half the cost.

>>62233163
Noctuas last for-fucking-ever, though. If you're a 16 hr a day work from home or turboNEET, it's worth it, because it will take years before they start to wear down and make excess noise.

lmao so you'll pay nearly 3 times as much because you don't wanna have to replace it in 5 years time.

So basically what I'm seeing is. IDIOTS Are the reason this stupid ass brand is still in business.

Thanks once again /g/ for explaining it to me.

Fucking jesus. lmao

How often did you have to replace a non noctua fan? I personally don't recall ever having to, and if I did it would only cost a few dollars.

>>62233163

ZOMG $0.50 MOAR EXPENSIVE

>literally poo colored

>>62233854
The redux line is gray. My entire PC is full of grey noctuas. No poo colors here.

>>62233120
total overyhyped brand, the equivalent of audiophile shit but even worse because it's just a fucking fan. corsair/bequiet/coolermaster is just as good 99.9999% of the time.

they managed to build a brand when the average case fan sucked ass and now ride the money train.

>>62233834
I seem to get unbearable bearing noise after 2-3 years

>>62233731
Taiwan and China. Different molds, but the quality is the same.

>>62233248
>having to deal with whiny, grinding fan noise until the replacement comes in
>having to replace every fan one by one as they eventually turn to shit
>having to individually diagnose and figure out which fan is making fucking noise this time around

It's like you want to get turbocucked. Also as others have pointed out it's not even close to 3 times as much, laughing girl posting retard.

>>62233887
>I seem to get unbearable bearing noise after 2-3 years
Sure you do buddy. Anyays have you ever tried greasing the bearings, or replacing the fan with another cheap sub $5 fan that would last you another 2-3 years?

The cheap fans sound worse than Noctuas (or any decent fan) brand new and only get worse over time.

My old as shit case has 6x80mm so it seems like one is always vibrating.
I get the 5 packs of deep cool or dark cool for like $9

Go back to /v/ faggot

>>62234003

When you work for money, time can become more valuable than a dollar. Imagine valuing your time on god's green earth so little that you would trade your spare it for pocket change LOL.

Also, nice singles :)

Any anon know the brand/model of the best case fans, but they are only available in bulk volumes?

>>62234082
>When you work for money, time can become more valuable than a dollar.
"Rich guy" keeps his fans/pc long enough to witness any fan related issues.

>>62234082
You literally just admitted that it's a subjective OPINION and not something that can be qualified as factual or objectively.

So thanks for proving you're an idiot.

also noctua's customer service and warranty are god tier

>nhd15 cools better than aios
It must be the fan, and not the fukheug heatsink with 6 heatpipes.
And doesn't it only cool better than the 120/140mm radiator all in ones?

>>62234209
You're either full of shit, parroting what others have said, or have legitimately had to deal with their customer service.

All three are laughable, especially the last one because hoenstly, if a shitty 20 dollar part breaks on my machine, I throw the thing away and never buy that brand again. Sooooo lmao @ your life.

>calling warranty support on a FAN LOL

>he had to call noctua warranty in the first place

t. alwaysbuys7dollarfansneverhadtocallfuckingwarrantyonthem

>>62234228
it's typically 1 degree off from a lot of the 240mm AIOs

>>62234244
I have dealt with their customer service, yeah.
Mainly because I thought I could try and get an extra fan for no extra cost, but I should have known better. Worth a try though. Warranty is something like 5 years or something.

>>62233163
>at half the cost.

>>62234367
Sorry senpai, in todays world, it's usually easier to ignore the warranty. Shit that costs less than 50 dollars get's thrown away and then I never buy that brand again.

warranties are nearly worthless until proven worth something because of the lost time and effort it takes to get anything out of said company.

Except microcenter's extra warranty. Which is usally what I get, except in this case, i claim their warranty which is basically just an exchange and get a different brand.

You'd love to believe that, wouldn't you?. But it's not true.

Because retards want to buy ugly fans. You'll find find these things in enterprise class equipment. If you want to pay out the ass for a fan go on Mouser and order some Sanya Denkis or Deltas.

>>62234429
yeah, you're preaching to the choir bruv
no clue why people are buying those things

Really made me think.
Gotta give it to Noctua marketing department, though. They're really putting in the work.

It's basically the Apple of fans. They're brown and tan so they have a distinctive look. This gives them status. Bragging rights essentially.

>>62234568
>apple
>yet /g/ loves it

that's why nobody takes this board seriously.

>>62234535
are these tests 10 years old?

Ill just stick with my RGB apevia fans.

Feel free to keep your overpriced fecal matter colored fans.

>>62234750
>>>/v/

>>62233120

The only realistic reason I see is warranty. You`re pretty much paying for extended warranty and support, but its already included in the price.

>>62233949

Corsair are overpriced crap though.

>>62233120
>used Noctua fans as long as I can remember

Very difficult choice of brand for sure.

I'm sorry, but I don't feel like I need to lie about this.

Do enjoy your sub par fans, friend.

>>62233887
Probably bought sleeve bearing fans. You can fix them by just relubing them. They'll work fine still.

>>62233120

they are great for growbox ventilation.
quiet, efficient as fuck and immune to dust.
hands down.
