Review: Quiet, High-Quality Case Fan - This is an excellent 120mm fan for anyone looking to improve airflow without adding a lot of noise to their PC. The fan feels very well made, and the build quality is noticeably better than many inexpensive case fans I've used. Installation was straightforward, and the PWM control makes it easy for the motherboard to adjust the fan speed based on system temperatures. At lower speeds, it's impressively quiet, while still providing plenty of airflow when the system needs additional cooling. The 25mm thickness is a standard size that makes it easy to fit into most compatible fan mounts. I also appreciate the understated design, especially for a build where I don't want flashy RGB lighting. Overall, this is a dependable, quiet fan that provides excellent airflow and solid build quality. A great choice for improving case ventilation or replacing an older, noisy fan.
Review: Quiet and effective, another solid Noctua upgrade - These Noctua NF-P12 redux-1700 PWM fans were another solid upgrade for my server, same story as the other Noctua fans I've swapped in, replacing louder stock fans that just couldn't keep up. Noise level is low even under load, a big improvement over what was in there before. Airflow and cooling performance have been great too, temps stayed in check without needing to ramp up loud to do it. Reliable, consistent quality across the board, worth it if you're after quiet, effective cooling for a server or PC build.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: How many cfm, or cubic feet per minute?**
A: Google says "120,2 cubic meters per hour to cubic feet per minute = 70,747049 (cubic feet) per minute." I can type that in with the best of them.

**Q: Is this an airflow fan or a static pressure fan?**
A: The fan blades are shaped for static pressure. https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00KF7PPY4/ref=psdc_11036291_t1_B07CG2PGY6 are shaped for airflow. These are static optimized fans

**Q: If I want to only use  two wires on this fan for max speed, which leads should I use green / black ?**
A: Here's some info that might help you, and should answer that question giving you some confidence...  that extra pin on a 4 pin fan is the digital speed control -- this is why the fan goes at max speed if plugged into a 3 pin connector (letting the 4th pin just hang over the side), rather than a a 4 pin connector.  Pin number 3 is what tells your motherboard the rotations per minute (RPM) of the fan.  So, all that you are left with is the first two pins.  The first pin is ground (almost always black) and the second pin is the power (it's 12 volts, but you can get 5 volts from the a custom connector from the power supply instead of the 4 pin motherboard connector if you want to have a slower fan).  Here's a chart:

For 4-Wire Pulse Width Modulation (PWM) Controlled Fans

Pin 	Name 	Description	Wire color(usual)
1	GND 	Ground            black
2	+12V	Fan Power	yellow
3	SIGNAL	Fan RPM	        green
4	PWM	Digital Control	blue

So to answer your question, yes it is possible to just use the first two pins (regardless of color, although the first one is almost always black, but the color of the second one is not always the same).

**Q: Will the pwm control on this fan stop it completely even with power to +12v/gnd?**
A: On my motherboard (ASUS X99-E WS), can't speak for any other motherboards, any percentage below 50% results in no movement, giving you only really adjustment between 50-100%. I found this somewhat frustrating, but I do prefer this to them never coming to a complete stop.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Quiet and effective, another solid Noctua upgrade

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ A must have for any pc in a hot room.
*by T***Y on July 20, 2026*

These fans is amazing. what else do I have to say? The cable length is good. They are quiet, and keep my computer cool. Since I recently moved my setup to a room that has no air conditioning, my temps were hanging around 42-44C. Now that I have installed 2 of these fans in an exhaust configuration to complement the two stock case fans that are in a intake configuration, I am now seeing an average temperature of 36-38C. The temperature difference is more impressive under load. I used to get 68-70C temps but now I get 61-63C temps. I should also mention that the mounting screws go in super easily compared to other fans
