Still hideous looking. Is it so hard to release black versions (or black&white/white)?
Why they keep insisting on this silly diarrhea colour scheme that doesn't fit with anything.

If in win could release that wood case id be down to do a build with these other than that it matches nothing

Im sure they will eventually have different colors. Having there brown fans land on all the review sites is pretty smart banding wise.

Everyone knows beige and brown just work better! 😉
This color scheme matches every beige case from the 90s. It's called "vintage".
On a serious note, Noctua makes the best PC fans money can buy. Plus, they do look less than ugly with cold cathode or LED lighting in the case.

I honestly don't mind the colors.. my case has a black interior and the noctua fans I have look fine through the window imo. They'll probably do Chromax black variants of these at some point in the future.. the color scheme is just branding, which is obviously super effective because every time noctua fans get posted people bring it up.

I want replacement fans for my custom h2o loop next year anyway. I will have to dig for reviews for those... or are we getting some, @Hilbert Hagedoorn ?
Pwetty pwease? 😀

Why would I want to use 120mm fans on a radiator designed for 140mm fans? Using 140mm fans would obviously be a far superior choice.

Yeah I just requested a kit, it'll be tricky to review but we'll see.

I really like that adapter idea, I have room for 280mm rad (h115i pro), but only 240mm holes.
I've been eyeing this, but its impossible to find locally.

Better than everything being RGB'ed to hell and back, or the same boring black or red color schemes.

It's called standing out from the crowd. When you see a Noctua fan you know it's a Noctua fan. When you see a boring old black fan you don't know what brand it is.

I wish Noctua looked into GPU Coolers.

Don't care for the color too much but it doesn't bother me and I don't hate it.
I'll be upgrading all my NF-F12s for these bad boys.
Kaarme
Yeah, I'll do the same once my NF-F12s cease to work. It might take some years, though...

Well I just ordered 3, will be here friday.
I was going to get more but stock ran out on PWM versions on amazon.

if you like to spend hrs looking at your computer rather than using it - look elsewhere!
I myself fit into the use category, color, who cares? Its what it does, therefore, Noctua fans have been my choice for so many yrs, since they came out, i think 🙂
Leave the colour alone, when someone sees the inside of my case, or selling a rig, they know i use good parts 😀

maybe i will finaly replace all my case fans with same brand and speed current using 1 noctua (push) in back and 2 FD fans front (pull) there not exactly same rpms but it keeps the cpu nice and cool under load

The fact alone that they make an adapter probably means they won't be making a new 140mm fan very soon, eh? Too bad. 🙁

Send me your bill for doing accoustics and sound reviews with frequency characteristics like I saw it on another site (not sure I'm supposed to say the name). 😀
No, serious, I know it's too much work to really set those things up, they had their own silent chamber, and specialised osciloscopes etc. to test it all out, best fan reviews I ever saw, really detailed. I understand that it's too much to do for just fans, and you'd have to do that for each fan that comes in and so on.
There's some people that put Noctua CPU coolers on GPUs.... 😀

Everyone is complaining about color, but the redux grey/dark grey looks really good imo. It's what I use for airflow in my case.
