Hello everyone,

 

I have two noctua NF-F12 PWM Chromax Black fans on my tower.

But I wanted to have RGB fans as good as that Noctua model.

 

Is there a good alternative?

 

Thank you.

Be Quiet! Light Wings.

 

Check the performance data from Techpowerup here

 

EDIT: It performs slightly better, but looks are subjective. Check the review, and similar reviews to determine what fan you like best

the NF-F12 is not a top performing fan so this should be easy 😛

 

the best ARGB fan is the CM Mobius 120p and its much better than the NF-F12

Light Wings do not have anywhere near the bearing quality of Noctua bearings...

I've been using computers since around 1978, started learning programming in 1980 on Apple IIs, started learning about hardware in 1990, ran a BBS from 1990-95, built my first Windows PC around 2000, taught myself malware removal starting in 2005 (also learned on Bleeping Computer), learned web dev starting in 2017, and I think I can fill a thimble with all that knowledge. 😉 I'm not an expert, which is why I keep investigating the answers that others give to try and improve my knowledge, so feel free to double-check the advice I give.

My phone's auto-correct is named Otto Rong.🤪😂

I can barely respond to that unbearable pun! 😆

Thank you and sorry for helping me. I didn't get any notification on this topic.

 

I'll be going with the CM one for sure. 

 

Does the fan include a hub? Because my board only comes with one ARGB connection.
