## Description

Premium 120mm slim fan with Flow Acceleration Channels and Advanced Acoustic Optimization for quiet cooling. 4-pin PWM, customizable anti-vibration pads.

Review: Noctua have never let me down - Standard Noctua experience. Incredible performance, quiet operation and keeps my pc cool. The thinner design made installation in my SFF a breeze. Always worth the price premium in my view.
Review: Expensive but worth it - These fans are amazing. I bought 2 for use in my small form factor case. They're being used as intake fans and I've set them at a constant 50% fan speed. According to my software 50% is 1100rpm and at that speed they shift a lot of air while producing no noise. I'm sitting about 1 metre away from the case and can't hear them. Above 50% and they are slightly audible but they move enough air at 50% so I prefer to just lock them at that speed. Having the colour options for the anti-vibration pads is nice. Allows you to match it to a particular colour theme you might have going on already.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Perfect for Mini ATX builds
*by D***Y on 28 December 2020*

I needed some thin fans for under my GPU - these are super! they are expensive but far better quality than the majority of other fans on the market. I really appreciate the rubber corner design, as these help eliminate and vibrations and noise from the fans. I am slowly changing all the fans in my case to this model as they perform so well and run very quiet.
