Noctua goes JUMBO!~

[That Norwegian Guy]

Hope the blades are rigid enough to counteract the inherent diminishing returns and in fact negative gains (hint: going backwards) of fan sizes over 140mm. Currently, only the Silverstone AP180 series (180mm) and BitFenix Spectre lines of 200/230mm fans are not junk in those sizes. Luckily, this is Noctua, and it'll likely have solid R&D behind it. However, the performance difference between this and a spectre will be negligible due to the diminishing returns, and most likely the price will not; so I'll most likely keep using the BitFenix fans.

 

At this diameter, noise is a complete non-issue too so I don't see any niche for Noctua at 200mm.

 

awww i was hoping they where going to make a 180mm

 

IMO they don't have to, Silverstone's AP180 series is amazing. Well, the solid black one is, the white ones with blue LEDs can go melt in a fire.

I want it now!!!!

It's people like you that usually complains, they make black fans and you go screaming that is boring, asking why they did black fans and so on. That makes you part of the whining users. I have a better idea, choose the best performance fan and forget about the color.

 

Am I the one complaining? Simply stating an/my opinion, not to mention that in the last reply I made use of a mysterious stylistic device called "irony", but obviously I forgot that the internet has a incureable condition that causes at least 70% of people not to recognise irony, a mere 50% even have the related condition called "Not seing the smileys which further emphasize the irony in my reply", very serious stuff!

 

To the point of "choose the best performance and forget about the color", just look in my profile. I'm using a NH-D14 and have three A14 fans inside my rig, so that point is (in my case) invalid as well

I want a Noctua after market GPU cooler.

 

Common Noctua. Show the noobs how it's done.

Even Noctua wouldn't be able to help the nuclear firestorm we call the 290x

So "mysterious" that apparently you forgot how to do it, or to correctly express it in a suitable way for the readers to understand. Do you even know what irony is? It may have sound "ironic" in your mind but what you wrote was not ironic. The "incurable" condition you refer to might be the whole lot of users just like you, who pretends to know what some words mean.

 

I can't wait to get my ass kicked by Professor Literature...  :rolleyes:

aaaaaaand there's the 200mm's I've mentioned a ton of times. Took them long enough to make the official "it's now going to be for sale" announcement though! But, this sucker was confirmed a while back though, so it's nice to see it finally coming out, as there's no doubt that it'd probably be the best 200mm fan out there

[fojacko]

I read the title and presumed it was gonna be a heatsink and i thought to myself "how the fuck can noctua make their heatsinks any bigger?"

 

Anyway, it's good to see them making a more varied range of fans.

The Noctua's 200mm would blow any manufacturing companies away.

Right......can we drop this already? the card is fine the stock cooler was shit. 290/x cards don't run any hotter than a 780/ti with a proper cooler.

Till such a day that AMD releases a stock cooler that isn't complete garbage, then no. We can't. 

Nvidia's reference coolers (which one of my EVGA cards has) isn't total nonsense. Can't ever say the same for AMD. And the insulting thing is they can clearly do SO MUCH BETTER but they haven't shown a capacity to do that. Except for the 295x2.

Make that 200mm fan with the same industrialPPC color scheme and I will buy all of them.

Tech Syndicate just posted a Computex Noctua Video, they go into the insane noise cancelling fan that vibrates with magnets to cancel out the noise:
