NZXT X52 with Noctua nf-12

[davidst95]

Hi, I have a NZXT x52 AIO cooler with stock fans.   It works great but it's kind of loud under loud.   I was cleaning out my computer closet and found a pair of Noctua NF-12.   Do you think it's worth swapping out the stock  120mm fans with the Noctua?  I have a Ryzen 180X CPU.    Thanks for the advice!

well the noctua fans are generally better

same performance if not a little better

but definitely quieter

yeah 

i personally am a function > form kinda guy

Define R5 with no window kinda guy

 

im assuming since OP got a x52 hes a form > function kinda guy so he wont be happy about the ugly fans either

the nzxt coolers are very powerful even on low fan rpms. I have the fans constantly on 25% on my X61 and the liquid temp on an i5 4690k 4,7ghz 1,33V is always between 48 and 54°C (depending on room temp, higher in summer) which is pretty good
