Noctua PC Fan: Dropped 20 Decibels in Test

Having trouble tuning out the hum of your PC fans?
Maybe it’s time you took another look at Noctua’s NF-F12 integrated noise cancellation fan. 


According to the firm, the Computex prototype kept things about 20dB quieter by utilizing a patented RotoSub ANC technology to emit anti-noise directly from the fan’s own blades. Noctua hopes to dampen the cooler’s 2,500 RPM hum to the overall noise level of a slower 1,500 RPM fan. Builders looking to piece together a quieter machine can look for the noise reducing cooler at the latter half of 2013.


Your old fan? Well, you could always use as a makeshift turntable. Hit the break for a peek at a more silent tomorrow.
