Noctua NF-R8 redux-1800, High Performance Cooling Fan, 3-Pin, 1800 RPM (80mm, Grey)

Installed fan on an Ender 3 Pro. Printed a new plate for the PSU. Spliced cables from old fan to this fan.

Havent gotten a bad Noctua fan yet, and they last a long time.

I meant to order the 120mm fan and install as an exhaust fan on the top of case. When i got the fan i realized i had ordered the smaller fan. Ooops, my fault. My original intention was to replace the old Cooler Master 120 at the top of the case. So instead i just added this fan to the top of the case next to the Cooler Master. So now i had 2 fans at the top of case - a 120 and an 80. There is a 120 at the bottom of the case and 2 120s at the front of case and a 120 on the an artic cpu cooler at the back of case. The noise level went up a bit with this fan. It really cranks out air for a little fan. I attached it to the case fan pins. I left the computer running for a couple of hours and when i came back it was locked up. It would not restart. I had to power down by holding the power button down. Even after doing this it would not reboot. I let the computer sit for about an hour and came back and tried again. It came up with the Windows screen asking if i want to repair the OS. I just chose to reboot and the computer came up fine. What happened here? Well the only thing i changed was this little fan. It is hard for me to believe that this little fan caused this but i suppose it could have been sucking so much air out of the case that it created some type of vacuum that the system overheated and shut down. In any case, i detached the fan and everything seems fine. I ordered myself the correct 120 fan from Noctua and will follow my original plan. This fan spins a lot faster than the 120s and does generate more noise. Maybe this was a case of too much of a good thing!

Noctua Fans continue to live up to its reputation. These worked great for a PC build I built for a friend. Moves airflow and looks good with most builds.

This is a very great fan, extremely quiet. If you download speedfan, you can make it absolutely unheard.

Arrived in almost Boutique grade packaging! Beautiful, utilitarian look and exceptional Noctua Quality top to bottom. I will be buying more.

Much better than what I had in my PC case already!

I tried purchasing this twice thinking there was a mistake the first go around. The product photo shows a 3-pin fan, but I was shipped 4-pin fans on two separate purchases. Frustrating and a waste of time. The box says 4-pin fan, but sticker label says 3-pin fan.

At the highest speed, it is a little noisy, but that is to be expected from a smaller fan. This is still the most silent fan I have encountered at this size. It is worth every penny. Buy it.

Absolutely nothing special although I have not found anything wrong with it either. I use it as a small exhaust fan on my pc, probably doesnt effect temperatures very much since it is so small but it plugged into my mb with a splitter and is so quiet I cant even hear it next to the case.
