Ok, so I obviously want the new noctua black fans (I DO NOT CARE HOW LOUD THEY ARE) but WHERE IN HELL ARE THEY ON SALE?!

 

Newegg doesn't have them.

 

I live on the east coast of the US, where can I buy them?

The title is a little.. obnoxious, could you change it? and why don't you care about the noise? There are a lot of good low-noise black fans out there. But have you tried looking on Amazon, and Google?..

And I have surround sound, why on earth would I care about how much noise my fans make when my room sounds like world war 4 during battlefield? I will never understand the whole "my fans must be quiet!" people..... your speakers are much much louder, if they are not, then something is very very wrong.

NO! BANANA! THERE'S NO TIME! BUY THEM OUT OF STOCK! QUICKLY!

Someone told Luke and Linus at CES 2017 to "Unban the legend known as Jerakl" and that's about all I've got going for me. (It didn't work)

Because not everyone is gaming or lisening to music 100% of the time. if you are sat quitely editing a word document you dont want a hair dryer blowing in your ear!

 

Why even get the notctuas if you are not bothered

 

However if you want them then go ahead, I am sure NCIX or somewhere will have them for sale

Because reasons. Because I want a quality fan that blows an ass ton of air, which means noctua. Personally I wish they would just put lights on them and say to hell with all the sound crap, if its too loud for you just slow the fan down a bit.

Notcua are not a "gaming" company though. Their coolers will be used in offices, servers, bedrooms all sorts of places where sound optimisation is important

 

If you want bling LED fans you would find your temps being all that different using other high quality fans, typhoons for example, heck even my corsair sp120s keep my i7 below 50 degrees at load on my h100i

Still, Is it so much to ask to get a quality fan that has lights? From what I can tell by reviews, most fans today that have lights, are absolute shit as fans. The only LED fan I've ever had was a bitfenix giant thingy that moved almost no air at all. I did however just order 2 corsair purple 140's and a red cougar 140, so I will see how well they work.

 

I just want a quality product, and it seems like most companies just drill a damned hole and put in an LED.

1) This thread is for some reason turning into a fight although it is about fans :|

 

2) If you want the best performing fans Noctua is probably the way to go, and I would probably do the same. If you do want LEDs though I would personally never have them on the fans in the first place. Maybe get some LED strips?

 

3) To all of you others raging over why he is going for Noctuas when he don't care about sound: Maybe he just wants the best performing fans, independent on how they sound which normally seems to be Noctua fans?

 

4) Can't find them myself as I am in school atm, but if you just shop around on the major stores in US (Amazon, Newegg, Microcenter etc. You probably know this better than me ;) ) you will find them :) Maybe try some stores in Canada as well such as Ncix?

If you want a ton of air get some Scythe Slipstreams or some Silverstone FM121, they move more air than the 3000 RPM Black Noctuas, at less than half the price.

You can also get very good performing fans like Akasa Vipers, Cougar Vortex, or even some Enermax UCCL12N, they all move a formidable amount of air.

I have 4 cougar's in my case now, they seem very nice. Still, when I got my noctua brown fans and spun them by hand, I immediately felt what can only be described as quality. I just don't like the shit brown lol.

 

Newegg doesn't have em, and NCIX I would assume would be high in shipping since its a Canadian company
