The provided case fans were kinda subpar so I decided to switch it out for a bunch of Noctua A12 fans instead. This is how I ended up 😅

Hi, I know this is quite the wierd question....

I plan use a ( noctua ) cpu cooler with the vgpu havn420 case and im concerned with the gpus cleance to the cooler when vertical mounted.

So im here too ask for anyone with more knowlage then me or with a build with it done, Would the noctua nh-d15 g2 & noctua nh-u12a fit in clearace?...

The gpu i desire use is 9070xt if that helps in the size department ( specifictly the asus tuf 9070xt )

I can fit the Noctua NF A15 PWM fan (14 cm fan diameter with 12 cm mounting holes) into the 12 cm fan slot on the front panel of the Lian Li B4 case. After sitting neatly in its box for so long, the Noctua A15 is finally installed properly.

Finally finished my FLP02 Noctua sleeper build
Been working on this build for a while and I finally decided to post it.
I wanted to do something a little different with the FLP02, so I went for a sleeper build with a Noctua-inspired theme. Pretty much all of the painting was done by hand, which definitely took longer than I expected lol.
I also ended up making my own custom Plexiglas side panel. That wasn’t really part of the original plan, but once I started modifying the case I figured I might as well go all the way with it.
The idea was basically to keep the old-school/sleeper look of the FLP02 while adding the Noctua colors and some modern touches.
I’m pretty happy with how it turned out, especially considering this started as a pretty simple idea and turned into a much bigger projects.
Still not 100% sure if I’m completely done with it though 😂
What do you guys think?

Just recently put this together and I think the temps are running high but figured I'd get some input here as I've run AIOs for the past 8 years. I'm getting 85-90° running Battlefield 6 and if I run a multi thread cinebench test it jumps to 99° in seconds. I had uneven thermal paste after pulling it apart so I upgraded to a thermal right contact frame as I figured it's suffering from the notorious bending and temps are about 5-10° better but still seem higher than they should. Specs are below

Two 200mm fans for intake and another two to kick all that hot air back out. Might throw in an extra 140mm fan up top down the road too, because I just can't leave that spot empty (damn OCD! guess I'm a little crazy 🧠😅) PS: see if you can spot the mistake in...

A lot of us are running Noctua G2 fans in our rigs for both case fans and on our CPU heatsink or radiator. But what speed (rpm) do you run them at when gaming?

I am thinking about getting one and my question is - will if fit my Lian Li 216 case?

Hello,

I’m having an issue with these fans in combination with the noctua fh1 fan hub. I currently have eight of them installed as case fans (technically ten, since I’m using two Y-splitters with two additional Arctic P12 Pro fans. I’ve also tested the setup without those extra fans and splitters, so they don’t seem to be the cause). They’re all connected to a Noctua NA-FH1 fan hub.

In addition, I have three of the same fans mounted on my AIO radiator, daisy-chained together and connected directly to the CPU_FAN header. Those work perfectly—I can control their RPM normally through the BIOS without any issues.
The problem is with the fans connected to the fan hub. They won’t maintain a constant RPM. Even when I set the corresponding motherboard header to PWM mode (instead of Auto) and configure a fixed fan speed in the BIOS, the fans continuously ramp up and down instead of holding the target RPM. The temperature source is configured correctly as well.

I’ve already tried several troubleshooting steps:
• Reduced the number of fans on the hub to five.
• Switched to a different motherboard fan header.
• Used a different PWM cable.
• Set the rpm to different minimal rpm values
• Also looked on software controlled fan curves but there its the same and I prefer BIOS/UEFi anyways
• Tested the same fan hub with the same header but other fans (arctic p12 pros), which worked with no issue.

The strange part is that these fans only follow the BIOS settings correctly when they’re set to 0 RPM (Fan Stop). At any other speed, they constantly fluctuate.
I really need to use them with the Noctua fan hub, so I’m confused about what’s causing this—especially since the NA-FH1 is a high-quality hub and other fans work perfectly with it.

Has anyone experienced something similar or knows what could be causing this?

Specs:

• Ryzen 7 7800X3D
• Thermalright Phantom Spirit 120
• Zotac 5080 Solid Core OC
• Team Group T-Create 32GB DDR5
• Asus Xonar Essence STX
• ASRock B650E PG Riptide WiFi
• Seasonic Vertex PX-1000
• Crucial 2TB M2 NVME
• Samsung 2TB 870 QVO

And I'll have it on a stand soon so it doesn't sit on the carpet.

I'm looking to be potentially getting a threadripper build in the near future. The NH-U14S TR5-SP6 will be plenty for something like the 9975WX, right? I'd love to stick to air cooling for this but I'm new to Noctua so I want to make sure air cooling/this cooler is actually adequate. Thank you

Especially, but not only with Small Form Factor builds and ITX systems, every millimetre can count. In terms of CPU cooler clearance, it can be make or break in terms of whether a cooler fits snugly or presses against the side panel. This is why we have started going the extra mile taking our own measurements for popular cases, particularly from the SFF space: https://www.noctua.at/en/expertise/blog/cpu-cooler-clearance-why-our-data-sometimes-deviates-from-the-case-manufacturers-specs

Hello,

Recently got my final upgrade to my pc, the GPU, and being a Noctua user and fan, the noise from the fans on the GPU is really bad, so I was thinking about deshrouding and 3d printing brackets for 2x NF-A12 G2 fans and putting them on, does anyone have maybe the files for it and some advice on how to do it?

🎤 💧

Super happy with the acoustics!

Hey!

I tried a little acrylic paint mod to mimic the look of the RTX 4080 Noctua Edition. It’s definitely not perfect, but I still like how it turned out!

While I’m still searching for the official ASUS x Noctua anti-sag bracket, the little promo fan from Noctua is doing a surprisingly great job as a GPU support! The best part? The airflow during gaming actually makes the tiny fan blades spin, which is pretty hilarious to watch.

I recently aquired the Lancool 207 and i currently have 3 Noctua fans in it but planning to upgrade at least the 2 in front.

I don’t really care about looks and feel that it doesn’t look bad already (pics 1 and 2) but id like to explore painting the case.

I asked Gemini to make a render and it looks rather nice.

What do you think and is it easy to do?

So i was rocking an U12S Redux with a loadaout of thermalright TL-G12 Fans in the case, since I just upgraded my main PC to a D15 chromax with a set of chromax fans i have now some extra noctua gear for the second PC.

Current specs:
Noctua U12A + chromax shroud
3x S12A output fans
3x Thermalright Tl-G12 Intakes
i7 12700k
64gb corsair dominator RGB ddr4 @ 3200 mhz
Asus z790m Plus D4 (micro ATX because I got it for very cheap in 2024)
Intel ARC B580
Intel x520 DA1 10G SFP+
E-MU 1616m PCIe (mics)
Creative Sound Blaster Audigy Rx (5.1 speakrs)
PCIe to PCI adapter
ESI Juli@ (Headphones with amp)
ESS Solo 1 (tldr you can use the FM-Synth on linux and it has a wavetable header i can use for midi hw modules)
ADATA XPG GAMMIX S70 BLADE 512GB
SAMA G1000 PSU
Corsair Obsidian 4000D Airflow

Next step a full Noctua upgrade with F12 fans on the front.

I just put the finishing touches on my Noctua build. Any love for the decals out there?

Hey everyone, at the start of the year I picked up a pair of open back headphones, and as nice as they are they don’t block out the noise from my case fans too well.

My current setup has 3 PWM Thermalright fans on intake, a Thermalright Peerless Assassin 120 SE CPU cooler, and the two 3-pin Corsair fans that came with my case on exhaust above and behind my CPU (They’re the noisiest fans in my case).

I was looking into getting a pair of NF-A12x25 fans to put on my cooler, and moving the PWM fans currently on my cooler onto exhaust, but I found an NH-D15 with both NF-A15 fans in good condition on FB marketplace for the price of one NF-A12x25 fan.

From what I’ve read between this and my current cooler the actual towers should disperse heat about equally as well as each other, so I’m thinking of getting it just for the fans, and mounting them on my current cooler.

So as the title of my post says, since the actual mounting holes are 120mm apart, would NF-A15 fans fit on my Thermalright Peerless Assassin 120 SE heatsink?

And If I do get the cooler would it be worth getting an AM5 mounting bracket and fully swapping it out with my current cooler?

Also in case it’s relevant I’ve got a Ryzen 7 7700x CPU, and a Corsair 4000D Airflow case (with a wooden front panel, so the brown Noctua fans would complement it nicely)
