  It's Noctua, so it's a solid 5 stars as always. The fan is highly efficient, perfectly replacing my NF-S12 exhaust fan, and it's very quiet.

  My only concern is that Noctua doesn't make RGB models, so I had to buy an RGB frame separately. The price might be on the higher end, but in my opinion, it's justified for the quality of the product you get.

  Honestly, I was torn between the Be quiet Pro 4 and the Phanteks T30. In the end, after watching many videos and reading articles online, I ended up choosing the Noctua fans because of their "sound profile" and the amount of noise they make for the corresponding performance. Additionally, they are 25mm thick compared to the 30mm thickness of the Phanteks T30, so if you have space constraints, go with Noctua or Be quiet. Both are excellent options at a similar price. Also, I already have a Noctua CPU cooler, so now they match, but that's another matter.

  I have them running at 1100RPM as 3 exhaust fans without changing speeds according to the system's temperature, and they do their job nicely and quietly. They also have a 0 RPM mode at 9% power delivery if that interests anyone.

  As for temperatures, they lowered the graphics card temperature by 3 degrees Celsius under full load (stress test) and around 2 degrees Celsius during normal gaming. I don't know how to measure the difference in the processor's temperature under 100% stress because it's a new Ryzen and they all reach a certain temperature.

  Finally, the fan does not have a splitter like the same fan in brown, but it has a rubber bracket to touch the case, different colored corners, and regular screws.

  I'm waiting for the end of 2023 when Noctua might release the same fan in 140mm, maybe I'll change the bottom intakes for those.

  Overall, I'm completely satisfied. Yes, it's a bit pricey for a fan, but you get what you pay for, and in this case, it's quality.

  I wanted to switch from the Noctua NF-F pressure fan and go for something black. I tried the Silent Wings 4 Pro, which is amazing, and the Phanteks T30, which is quite thick. These were very good fans, but they were noisy at very low RPMs. Now I couldn't hear the blades, but I could hear their motors (I have the tower on my desk next to me with extreme silence). The Noctua fans with SSO2, even at 400 RPM, you can't hear anything from their motor. Now, when they exceed 800 RPMs, it's logical for the motor to be covered by the sound of the blades.

  In terms of cooling performance, it is at the same level as the T30 and 5-6 degrees better than the Silent Wings 4, but quieter. If you ask me, it is the best fan, then get it blindly. Although it is suitable for both airflow and pressure, I would recommend the NF-S series from Noctua if you want to save 10 euros for a case fan. Otherwise, if we are talking about CPU coolers, watercool radiators, or a case with a dust filter very close to the fan, then yes, go for the NF-A.

  It was purchased to replace the stock NF-F12 on the Noctua U12S cooler. It dropped the temperature by 5 degrees in a stress test. Overall, it is the best fan ever released, whether for flow or pressure. The reason why I believe it is worth buying is the following: It is not silent under full load, but the noise/pitch it makes is not bothersome at all. This, I believe, is Noctua's success with this particular fan. In matte black, it is a jewel. The price is quite high, but I believe it fully justifies it.
