Colour customisation with NA-SAVP1 silentblocks
The fan frame can be fitted with NA-SAVP1 anti-vibration silencers from the Noctua chromax range. Available in black, red, blue, white, green and yellow, these silent-blocks not only dampen micro-vibrations, but also offer an undeniable additional advantage: they allow you to match the fan to the most popular colour themes, to suit your creativity!

As always Noctua is a bit expensive but I can sleep with the PC in the same room!
Of course, you can hear it a bit if you ask a lot of it, but it makes a fairly low frequency noise and there's no play noise in the bearings. For me, fans that make a whistling sound are rubbish, so I no longer bother looking for a brand and taking a risk, so I get Noctua!
Like all Noctua fans, a very quiet fan. Unlike most Noctua's unsightly brown fans, this grey fan is very plain. To tell the truth, it seems to me to be a bit weak in breath for its price, but it is not the temperature bottleneck in my tower. Suitable for a case fan, but I would take an option with a bit more power to cool a radiator.
I was looking for efficient and quiet fans and was hesitating between the Noctua nf-p12 redux 1300 PWM and the Bequiet silent wings 3 PWM so I compared them.
The difference is that the noctua has a bigger airflow while the bequiet has a better static pressure. The difference is so small that it doesn't make much difference in temperature. The tests say that the noctua is the most efficient but I got the opposite result, 2-3° difference between the 2 fans.
The difference is more in the sound. At the same speed, the bequiet is quieter. The noctua starts to make noise around 900 rpm, 1100 for the bequiet. At full speed, the noctua makes more noise than the bequiet, even though it turns less quickly. Indeed, the latter has a motor that resonates, at least in my case. Both fans have no noise in any position, the difference in sound is in the motor. The noctua makes a low humming sound while the bequiet sounds like a Ferrari with a smaller amplitude. Besides this difference the noctua will tend to resonate at certain rpm's like 900 and 1300 rpm, which makes the hum more intense. The bequiet does not reason and therefore the intensity of the engine noise increases with the speed of rotation.
Both fans are excellent in performance and silence. The noctua is more interesting for its price, but if you are especially looking for silence, the bequiet is more for you.
