Review: Looks nice, fits well, decent quality, cools well. - Love these fans, they all look the same though unfortunately so I keep buying and returning. They’re decent quality and decent price. Won’t break the bank too much. Quite easy to install, click click. Works quite well, and doesn’t sound too loud. What else can you ask for? Also size wise even though it’s big, it’s meant to be. Fits well and cools well.
Review: So for builds that 25mm fans are slightly too thick, this is a perfect solution. Otherwise, stick with whatever brand fan u like - Haven't tested the radiator fan-temp, but on full speed, it is a bit noisy than 1350rpm Arctic F12, which I give 5 stars without hesitation. The air flow is concentrated comparing with Arctic F12, which feels like a ring air flow. I did feel the air pressure is a tad stronger at full speed. To be honest, if Arctic makes 15mm fans, I will not buy this one, because Arctic fan gave me good experience, and also provides 6 years warranty. Only reason to buy this was because I need to put 360 radiator into Define C TG, but there is not much space for regular 25mm fans. All things putting aside, this fan is excellent, only con would be the high price. However, You will get some spitter/extender cables, so considering those prices, it is fine. It is more like a fan combined with some accessaries sold for a relatively high price. Very quiet, very quality build, soft pads are big pluses. One more thing I noticed was when it is running at full speed, fan blades are invisible, which is interesting. I like it. Maybe that's the reason it used such color. I didn't plan on this review, so it is completely write as I think. Finally, I decided to change 4 stars to 5 stars. It is expensive, but everything else related to a fan is satisfying. I only have one fan, so I cannot test the radiator performance, so I will skip that. Final thoughts: For my current build, a relatively large case, I tend to use Arctic fans for 800-900rpm which return a really good temp result with almost no noise at all. If I need to build a tight small form case, I will definitely go with this one. Quietness is the only important thing for me. Otherwise, there are tons of cheap fans provide similar performance with jet engine noise.

**Q: Will this work as a repalcement fan for xbox one s -i know meachanically it's not a direct fit - will the pwm work as expected?**
A: You can make it work if you get a pin out of the xbone fan header and connect the appropriate wires to the fan. It will most likely need to chop off the old connecter off the fan and splice it on this one.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Noctua makes the best fans, period
*by C***Y on January 5, 2026*

Expensive? Yes. Worth it? Yes. Replaced a cheap fan in my new JONSBK N2 NAS case with the quiet fan dongle and it reduced the fan noise to zero. Fan quality is obviously top notch and one of the best performing fans available for the sound level.
