Why does it seem to be that everyone is using this fan? What's so special about it?

its gratis

It's an e-penis thing

Compared to other fans? Better temps, better performance at lower RPMS (quieter), longer lifespan, lower power draw. I mean there's really no downside beside the price.

they're ugly as sin, too
personally i don't care about fan aesthetics but a lot of people do
if i felt as though my fans were underperforming i would buy 5 of the noctuas

Yeah I personally haven't bothered with Noctua case fans because you can still see them on the outside of the case and the white fractals are much prettier, but I went with an NH-D15 for my CPU cooler just because I never have to look at it. The thing works miracles.

Best fans

What about the LTT version?

There is really no need to have that many fans. One front intake, one back exhaust, something nice at the bottom, Noctua is good to play this passive faggot role as it's brown, ugly and extremely efficient.

I've got them on a triple rad like 1 meter from my head. Not completely silent, but it has that nice wind sound.

It's designed in Australia, and everybody knows Australia makes the best fans. They have to, because it's so hot there.

>Australia
Do you mean Austria?

Do they intentionally make the best performing fans but also the ugliest fans to fuck with us?

I really can't think of another reason.

>Why does it seem to be that everyone is using this fan? What's so special about it?

It is cheap
It is hideous
and it makes teenage boys drool
The only thing a teenager could wish for
that it hasnt got is flashing LED's

Very high quality. Great noise level and acoustic profile. Expensive as fuck but well worth it if you're a person of taste and don't want whiny rattling trash.

>It is cheap

The one fucking thing Noctua fans aren't is cheap, you dumb autist.

There's honestly so much wrong with his post I'm not sure if it's satire.

>He bought the meme

It's a product trademark

You can't tell me that if you take one look into a case, you wouldn't know that they were using Noctua's or not?

It's fucking en genius.....

so what fans are non-meme then?

Noctua and Gentle Typhoons, good luck finding those though

noiseblockers 120mm and 140mm masterrace

I'd rather just get deltas or scythe ultra kazes because I'm not a pussy

KEK Be quiet! Slient Wings 2 fans are better in the noise/performance but noctua marketing got to you guys I guess

im not a big fan of that fan, but it does the job.

This nigga knows

do they actually block noise then

>this fan is also more expensive than the industrial dust and waterproof noctua fans

Noiseblocker make the best fans though. Noctua are a close second however.

Decent airflow, very low noise, and very, very long life. Any normal fan would end up getting very noisy after a year or two, due to the bearings drying up or breaking. On the Noctua fans, this takes a much longer time.

>Compared to other fans? Better temps, better performance at lower RPMS (quieter), longer lifespan, lower power draw. I mean there's really no downside beside the price.
No, they fall directly on the usual CFM/noise curve nearly any axial tube fan of a given thickness and diameter falls on.

That said, they have decent low speed motor controllers, the controller is quiet, and the bearings a better-than-typical grade. If you don't want to buy EBM/Papst, and Panaflo is too big, the Noctuas are actually pretty decent quality parts.

But fuhrer fans look much better tho

theyre orange, which is also ugly as hell in any kind of build not using orange

It's very quiet.

Fair enough. But more builds use orange than brown, tbqhf

How is your GPU not shorting out?

black noctua look better and are cheaper then you meme fan

i am confused

They make good cpu coolers that don't make me want to kill myself when installing them. Other than that they're a nice balance of performance and noise while having a good warranty.

I don't mind the brown much but the beige is ugly.

You know they come in black, right?

What are the best Noctua fans for a 140mm radiator?

Go market your overpriced memefan somewhere else, shillfag

I had NB's in my previous pc, breddy gud, can recommend. If they weren't so ridiculously hard to find over here, I'd go for them again
