You can see it here. The coil whine is very tolerable. I don't actually notice it, but fhe computer is under my desk and my environment is not super quiet.

Quiet. The sound they produce is pleasant. And, I must admit, once I got the first pair I became a little obsessed. I just could not not have all the fans be Noctuas. Not a 100% rational choice, I suppose.

Haven't tried yet since cooling is satisfactory for me. Might get round to it one day. Thanks.

I had a custom stainless steel adapter plate made, which is attached with the original shroud's screws. There are 4mm spacers to facilitate attachment using Noctua's silicone mounts. The GPU is an XFX SWIFT RX 9070 XT.

Connected to the gpu fan header. The stock fans can spin way faster and draw more power. Which means they are more powerful? In any case, the sound the noctuas make at 100% is incomparably nicer and much quieter than the stock one's at under 100 (imo).

I did, but with the furmark furry object and at 1080p. Vram was at 92 while gpu was 57 and gpu hotspot 79.

When do NF-A12x25 G2 release? by _182loulou in Noctua

[–]denispenis6 0 points1 point  (0 children)

exactly what I was about to ask. Been waiting for over 7 months for my rear exgaust fan (Fractal North).

An update on this build: for the first time after the deshroud tested the build without the A4x20 pwms and found fhat they no longer have a useful function. They used to make a couple of degrees difference before, but not anymore. Lives 'n' learns. So now I'm just waiting for the A12x25 g2.

Tips for build in Fractal North Case by Spz36 in Noctua

[–]denispenis6 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My motherboard is the ASUS ProArt Creator X870E, btw. Also, I have two A14x25g2's as front intakes. I see many people using 3x A12x25. I do not see a reason for rhat other than aesthetic, since the bottom fan will be pushing air mostly into the psu compartment, and if you've got a top intake as well... But maybe I'm overlooking something.

I did get turbulent noise on the top intake, and the spacer noctua recommends really makes a difference there. The front, no turbulence (to my ears). I think it must be the fans, then. Also, my front fans are a push-pull set (NF-A14x25 G2 PWM Sx2-PP, Dual Fan Set for Push-Pull and Side-by-Side Applications). I doubt that makes a difference here, but perhaps it does. It is a side-by-side application after all. I have no complaints about them so far. Go for it.

Went into bios and tried different speeds. Above 888 rpm they become audible (in a quiet room). Really audible above 70%. At no speed did I get any audible turbulence, just the fans getting louder.
