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

Nice, quiet and adequate.

Not impressed. I was hoping for more airflow. How hard is it to make a silent fan if it doesnt move much air? No overheating issues & a quieter HTPC so far.

Excellent fans for rack servers. Quiet and really good airflow.

Perfect for my computer fans.

I used this fan (Noctua NF-R8 redux-1800) to quiet down my aftermarket T-Mobile Gateway Trashcan Lid. It required a 3-pin to USB adapter, but works great under 5v power. I am incredibly impressed with how quiet the fan is in this application. Yes, fan speed is reduced, but I don’t need all that much airflow. I just want to provide a bit of active assist without adding to the ambient noise, otherwise. This fan does that, while promising long life, to boot. That’s a huge win/win for me!

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.

I had to swap out the fans in the Savage 1k lights. The fans it originally came with were incredibly loud. Decided to replace them with these fans. They perform beautifully! My lights are quiet and I can film without the fans ruining the audio.

I got it to replace a 5 bay hotswap fan. This was way too weak or didnt have enough pressure because it caused my HD temps to skyrocket. Only use for case fans with no obstruction.

workin good quiet

Nice, quiet fan. Was a perfect retrofit for my Monoprice 300w amp, which is not 80% quieter.
