Know before you buy
Yes, it is specifically designed for pressure-demanding applications. Its nine-blade, pressure-optimized geometry allows it to push air effectively through the restrictive fins of radiators and heatsinks.
At 900 RPM, this fan produces only 12.6 dB(A), making it virtually inaudible in most environments. It is an excellent choice for silent PC builds where noise reduction is the primary goal.
No, this model uses a 3-pin connector, meaning it does not support Pulse Width Modulation (PWM). You can still control its speed via voltage regulation (DC) if your motherboard supports it.
The fan features Noctua’s SSO bearing, which is rated for an MTTF (Mean Time To Failure) of over 150,000 hours. It is also backed by a 6-year manufacturer's warranty for long-term reliability.
Yes, it follows the standard 120x120x25 mm dimensions with 105x105 mm mounting hole spacing, making it compatible with almost all standard PC cases and cooling mounts.
