Of course, these fans are perfect for ventilating a PC case. Even at 25% they maintain a perfect airflow while remaining inaudible. You start to hear them around 45%.
It's just a shame to provide only 4 rubber pads per color (ideally 8 per fan for aesthetic reasons), to put such a short cable and especially to ask 30 francs for it. At this price, it would have been perfect if these two drawbacks had been avoided. But still, the result is worth it.

Expensive but good. I have 16 of them in my PC. They all run quietly at less than 500 RPM.

The fans are great! Extremely powerful and quiet when you turn the RPM down.
No rubber frame is included in the scope of delivery - the same ones in 120mm are.
Various colours are also included, each with only 4 rubber corners.
In other words: if you want everything in black, that's not possible.
(There would be 4 as anti-vibration pads at the bottom and another 4 as colour accents).
I now have black/green (black as rubber pads and green as a colour accent)
The fact that the fans are attached with normal screws is certainly due to the 4-pin connector. This would be in the way if you use these pin screws from BeQuiet.
In short: Strong, quiet performance with old-fashioned screw fastening at too high a price.

Usual very good quality from Noctua. I like to pay a little more compared to the competition. Use Noctua fans and coolers for a long time and so far I had no failure after many years. The bearings run even in almost 10 year old fans still almost as at the beginning. Finally Noctua has taken pity and brings the fans also in black. The color is secondary, the performance counts for me. But in a case with a side window, the black fans look much better.

With the plain black it fits perfectly for a system.

not only quiet, but can also cool really well when needed!

Fan has an insanely loud bearing noise. I had ordered it as an alternative to the 140 Industrial - I could have left it installed.
Too bad - returned straight away after 2 hours.
Can't hear them.

Good case fan, runs quietly. If, like me, you want to equip your case with it: Noctua does not supply a huge amount of cables here, unlike with many other products, you look in vain for Y-adapters etc. in the package :(

As already described in the title, the fan mine requirements just super fulfilled.

I switched from Be Quiet! and find Noctua a little loud at 100%. Maybe not exactly loud, but the noise I find starchy. I have installed it in NZXT H1.

I will buy again - function, equipment, price, everything fits.

I ordered 4 pieces. Unfortunately, one of them was defective from day one. At such a price, this shouldn't be the case, although this can also happen with any other manufacturer. Maybe I was just unlucky.
Otherwise very satisfied. They run very smoothly and deliver a lot of air. When they turn up during gaming, they make the typical Noctua noise, which I find much more pleasant than the hum and whir of other fans.

I would buy again, but PC fans could be built so much higher than the world does.
