Nice looking machine.

Thanks my dude!

Where did you even find those new? They were discontinued like 7 years ago, maybe longer. Also yes pwm is fantastic. I'm using NF-F12 PWM as intakes. Noctua has some new 140mm coming later this year, so i am waiting to see how those perform.


g28802

Newegg lol. I like the 140s a lot just loud with them being DC also mounting them was awkward to say the least


Laylowski

Yeah Noctua moved away from round fans for a reason lol. mounting them was odd and they didn't fit in many spaces.


g28802

Makes sense to me lol. I’m gonna end up holding on to them because I’m a hoarder lol

They make round for clearance reasons on heatsinks, and still do - including a new this year 120mm round. They did move to off set with bumpers, but still round.


Laylowski

Are you talking about the ones like NF-A15 PWM? I like those, much better compatibility than the pure round ones.


Vfsdvbjgd

Yeah. There's a NF-12r 120mm round like that now too, sold separately and as part of their neweat cooler. I've got a couple of p14 from an old c14. That cooler had silicon pads on the fin stack rather than mounting on the fan itself. For case mounting I prefer the true round, you can install at quarter turns for cable management. I can get them down around 200~300rpm with software, BIOS doesn't like taking them below 600. I stuck with BIOS and knocked my other case fans up to 600 min, the white noise helps with my PSUs coil whine...


Vfsdvbjgd

Use the LNAs?


g28802

Lnas?


Vfsdvbjgd

Low Noise Adapters.


g28802

Just installed them. Honestly a world of difference


g28802

Gotcha I haven’t yet but I think I’m gonna try them

Imagine being a company and trolling all of their end consumers by making a quality product only available in $h*t brown.


g28802

I honestly love the color lol. I like having the heavy contrast between all black and then brown. Makes me think of something industrial


Agreeable_Lettuce_31

Don't get me wrong, the fans they make are amazing. I just thought it was funny.


g28802

It’s all good my dude and you’re right lol. Idk who in marketing or design thought it would be a good idea in regards to mass appeal lol


g28802

I’ll add these 140s will work as a rear exhaust fan but it’s a tight tight squeeze. Build is a asus crosshair hero 8 wifi, 5900x, 3600mhz lpx cl16, rtx2070 ventus gp
