so we've got the ever popular nocta NFP
0:03
12 uh right with us today so we're going to have a look at this fan but first
0:07
let's uh take a look at their packaging basically NOC markets this fan as the
0:12
ultimate silent High Press solution so
0:16
they're saying that because of the way they've designed the blades they are
0:20
able to better push air through
0:23
something like a a high density a high fin density heat sink or a water cooling
0:28
radiator all the while maintain aing the silence that nocta is known for now
0:32
noct's color scheme leaves a little bit to be desired but let's have a look at
0:35
the accessory package so you've got two different low voltage adapters one of
0:40
these will take your fan down to 5 volts and the other one will take it down to 7
0:44
volts and noctu a fans are designed to be undervolted very comfortably then we
0:49
have a Molex to three pin adapter then
0:53
you've got two different options for mounting the fan you've got either four
0:56
fan screws or you've got these four
0:59
rubber grommets if you can get them out of the package then you can use them to
1:04
poke through the corners of the fan and I'll just kind of demonstrate how this
1:08
works so you'd poke it through the corners of the fan and then pull it
1:12
through your case so that it can actually oh no not quite like that I'm
1:17
terribly sorry you would actually poke it through the other way through the
1:22
case into the fan and then attach it to the fan like this so your case sits in
1:28
between this Gap right there so that's a pretty cool way of mounting it so just
1:32
giving a better view of how the blades work you can see actually and this is
1:35
this is kind of cool they adverti this on the package how every third every
1:39
three blades has a different pattern to The Notches that's apparently to reduce
1:44
the uh the turbulence from the fan spinning so that's kind of a neat effect
1:48
when it spins anyway thank you for checking out the Noctua NFP 12 case fan
