From time to time, I have come across cases where the mounting holes haven't been perfect which has resulted in a slight deformation of the casing. In some cases causing some issues with the fans being used.
I do wonder if the uber-tight tolerances in play here could be affected by less-than-uber-tight tolerances in the places they're mounted?
I've had similar problems and have found that using the rubber fan fittings provided, instead of screws, worked a treat.Quote:

Cue loads of comments about the beige....
It is proper annoying that they refuse to release new models in plain old black though...Quote:

Surely all the Hexites have plain windowless cases, to protect them against the RGB, so can't see the fan colour anyway? :p
I just looked at Noctua's quoted stats for this new fan... Even their own NF-F12 PWMs are better. In fact their 2K IndustrialPPCs aren't that much louder but give almost twice the static pressure performance while drawing less power.
Their 3K versions are still as mad as Hamlet, but I will try them one day.
For now, I'd still look to Corsair's ML120s over these new Noctuas.
i love Noctua's beige and brown :)
Not enough RGB for the cost :rolleyes:

Don't care about the colour, it's the noise and cooling performance that makes me use them.
I think they missed a trick in the design, if they really spent 4 years developing it they were being too fussy with the small details.
Any reviews yet? I'm fairly confident I'll be getting some if those claims are true. I will take any colour in the name of cool and quite.
They're neither, though - NF-F12 PWM models are quieter (by 0.2dB, for 500 fewer rpms) and have a higher static pressure (additional 0.27mm/H2O).Quote:

These are jack of all trades fan, not the best choice for one or the other but certainly usable for both.Quote:

Personally at a cheaper cost, and more agreeable aesthetic I would go with the redux.
Were I in the position to be spending on them I would even go with the Chromax over these.
