This user purchased this item from Newegg
Pros: Quiet, good airflow
Cons: cost
Other Thoughts: Have 3 of these mounted to the back of a mostly enclosed cabinet housing my Blu-Ray, HTPC, & Stereo Receiver to extract hot air. They're hardwired to a 12V adapter to run off of a standard US 120V plug (so they run full speed). Before the fans, internal temps in the cabinet approached 120F. After fans, 80F! The only time they're audible is when everything is off, AND even then only when my home A/C or heat isn't running. Very satisfied!

This user purchased this item from Newegg
Pros: They are very quiet.
Cons: These in a Tt Mozart TX case and Corsair H50 on CPU... they don't push or pull enough air to cool the MB. Fan might be just fine in a normal plain jane case with no video card, but plain jane cases don't get $20 fans IMO. Didn't realize until later that no where does Noctua mention anything about CFM. NF-P12-1300 is just as quiet with more movement of air and cheaper.
Other Thoughts: Customer service @noctua was unwilling to exchange or refund. For the price, poor cfm, and obviously not customer satisfaction based company... I would recommend not using this brand. There are others out there with a little higher db and higher CFM for half the price.

Quality Fan

Pros: I love these fans, super quiet and excellent quality…..I just made a new computer and wanted to make it super quite. So after some research I went with the Noctua fans. In an Antec Solo case I used one 120mm and two 92mm fans for the case. I also changed the fans on the CPU cooler and used another two 92mm Noctua fans. I can hardly hear the computer work. It is quieter than some water cooled computers.
Cons: Price.....but at the end its worth it.
Other Thoughts: You can adjust the fan speed by changing the voltage with the included cables. Don’t hesitate to get them if you need to kill the noise on your computer.
