Review: Very quiet, better price than the original and PWM compatible. - I recently upgraded my PC in the hope that one day there will be graphics cards again. I miss graphics cards. As part of this upgrade, I decided to ditch my manual fan controller and let the motherboard do the work automatically. To do this properly I needed 4-pin PWM fans. I've used Noctua fans for years and been completely happy with the performance and low sound levels. I use my PC for my little home recording studio, so it's needs to be quiet. Installation was a doddle, but I do think that Noctua should include rubber isolating mounts at this price. This 80mm fan is whisper quiet even at full speed, and with the motherboard controlling it, it's utterly silent. As a bonus, it's cheaper then the original version. I've used this as a 'push' fan at the front of the case. I initially installed just a 120mm 'pull' fan at the rear, and found the case temperatures to be strangely high. The air coming out of the back was also worryingly warm. I eventually discovered that the fan on my new power supply stops completely when it's at idle. My rear case fan was pulling air in backwards through the stationary power supply fan, through the power supply, into the case and out through the back of the case! Basically, I was using the power supply to warm the inside of the case. This 80mm fan now blows air into the front of the case, and the internal temperatures are much lower. Noctua have been the leaders in silent fans for years. This 'Redux' range brings the price down while keeping the key features. I had to pay a little extra to buy it from a third-party as it was out of stock at Noctua's own desertcart Shop. It was worth it.
Review: Very quiet and effective. - I had a couple of old RGB LED fans in my sons computer which had defintely seen better days, and the bearings on them were well and truly shot to the extent that they squealed horribly on start-up - a bit like the noise of a slipping fan belt on a car - before settling down after a while to doing the job of moving some air. My son requested replacements and so I bought one of to experiment with as a replacement. Installation was simple into his case as it had all the holes and grilles already provided as part of the case. Just a case of unscrewing and unplugging the old fan, which promptly fell apart, and chucking it in the bin. Then mating the new fan with the correct holes and popping four screws to hold it in place. Connected the four way connector to one of the unused dedicated fan header connectors on the motherboard, which was simple to do as the connector is polarised so you can't put it in the wrong way. Reassuring quiet when the PC was then turned on, and has remained so ever since we fitted it.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: Would this fan work on asus k31bf.  fan really noisy and rattling of late.  would i need 3 pin or 4pin if it does fit?**
A: Hi,

We are not so sure it will fit into your case, assuming it uses the usual 120mm or 140mm fitting, it should be ok. This cooler requires a 4 pin connection.

Hope this helps

Thanks,
Ebuyer Team

**Q: What dimension are the fixing hole centres?**
A: Mounting hole spacing: 71,5x71,5 mm

**Q: Does this fan have a flow direction arrow on the case?**
A: Yeah, all fans are the same. They all spin counter clockwise and open side is intake.

**Q: I have a Dell Optiplex 9010 with a 5 pin fan, can I use a 5 pin to 4 pin adapter with this fan?**
A: Noctua 12V fans comply with the established specifications for standard PC systems issued by Intel and AMD. Systems from Acer, Apple, Dell, HP, Lenovo or other major brands often deviate from these specifications e.g. by using proprietary fan headers, custom pin-alignments or pin-configurations, different methods of fan speed control, etc. This can lead to compatibility issues when using Noctua fans in systems from said brands. Some of these problems can be avoided with some technical knowledge, but especially BIOS related issues (e.g. errors or shutdowns due to low fan speed) can often not be resolved. As a result, Noctua does not officially support systems from Acer, Apple, Dell, HP, Lenovo or other major brands.
