Soft ice makers are temperamental beasties; you have to keep them clean and descaled, and even then it’s more suited to households with maniacs like myself to keep them running. They like to make all sorts of odd noises if you don’t adhere to a strict cleaning schedule, and a proper teardown is needed every 6 months or so to get them REALLY clean. That inside reservoir can become a real horror story… but I digress.When I started to hear this nasty rattle coming from our GE Opal I assumed it was overdue for a full cleaning. However, this did not fix the noise. During the cleaning process I noticed that tapping the fan made the sound go away momentarily and the coin dropped; the fan bearings were dying.Fortunately the 120mm fan was fairly standard, and I quickly found the exact replacement… 2 for 10 dollars(!). Super cheap… and it was clear that only a year or two would have me having to use that second fan. I also found plenty of reports that a fan with more airflow would improve the ice making performance, which let me to search for a better fan.Noctua fans always had a good reputation amongst PC case builders, so I decided to see if any of those would do the job, and came across this fan; faster RPM then the OEM bulk fan, longer MTTF (mean time to failure). Yes, 1 fan for US$32.00 (when I purchased it) versus 2 fans for 10-12 bucks is steep, but if you’re already dropping the kind of money for an Opal? (Shrug emoji)Since the opal uses a 2 pin connector it did require that I swap the plugs (not for the faint of heart) and I suspect I’ll need to tweak that to a better connector (those plastic connectors are finicky and delicate). I clipped the third line so it wasn’t exposed, plugged it in… and the fan worked perfectly. Some reviews have noted the fan as being somewhat loud at full speed, but I couldn’t hear the fan over the sound of the compressor at all. After several months of that gradually increasing sound the machine was back to it’s relatively quiet operation.I’ve been running it now for two weeks, and I can confirm that ice is being made much faster than it was before; I know it would sometimes struggle in the warmer summer months, so I’m looking forward to seeing how well it performs then!

Heb dit gekocht voor een QNAP ts453d server was heel snel geleverd en draait zacht voor 2000 cooler en nu blijft de temratuur lekker op 35 graden daarvoor 45 dus is toch wel een verschil

El ruido me parece muy muy bajo, teniendo en cuenta la cantidad de aire que es capaz de mover.Si tienes un gabinete pequeño (no es mi caso) y necesitas mover mucho aire y no te cogen muchos ventiladores, ésta es la solución.Un solo ventilador de este tipo, necesita casi 3 artic (que a mí me encantan) para igualar el caudal que es capaz de mover.Lo instalé para introducir aire en el gabinete, sobre todo para refrescar el aire que toma la gráfica, y bajó 10 grados de golpe. Ahora está en unos cómodos 60-63 grados frente a los 70-73 de antes.Todo en un gabinete Corsair de dimensiones generosas, con un Ryzen9 y una 2070super, ahora más fresco que nunca gracias a Noctua.Con el tiempo pienso cambiar todo a esta gama. No tiene RGB, pero hace su trabajo mejor que nadie.

Because this fan is designed to move relatively large volumes of air it isn't as 'silent' as other Noctua fans, but nevertheless it is very quiet. I'm very impressed

La ventola arriva in una confezione di cartone rigido molto ben fatta, in classico stile Noctua. I colori riprendono quelli della ventola, cioè in predominanza il nero con accenti marrone. Dento troviamo la ventola, un set di quattro viti color acciaio e gli angoli di silicone da applicare (nel colore marrone: esistono anche set di colori da acquistare a parte che, a mio parere hanno un costo esagerato). Ho optato per questo tipo di ventola "industriale" in quanto verranno usate su un server sempre acceso, in ambiente polveroso. Avendo già avuto problemi di ventole che si intasavano (e rompevano) prima del previsto nonostante una manutenzione certosina, questo prodotto mi pare calzare, sulla carta, a pennello. Non ho utilizzato gli angoli in silicone in quanto non mi serviva ridurre le vibrazioni e, usando anche dei filtri appositi anti-polvere, mi sarei "bruciato" 2 mm utili per il montaggio. Ad ogni modo, anche senza questi pezzi di silicone, non noto troppe vibrazioni. Silenziosità e flusso dell'aria (che non ho rilevato con strumentazione particolare) li ritengo indicativamente vicini a quanto dichiarato dal produttore. La costruzione della ventola è, come tutte le Noctua, molto curata. Per ora soddisfatto, il giudizio finale lo sarà il tempo. Il produttore dichiara una vita media di 150.000 ore, che sono poco meno di 20 anni. Fosse vero, il prezzo di acquisto elevato (le ho pagate 25 euro cadauna) sarebbe assolutamente ripagato! Vedremo. La farò funzionare sempre la massimo della velocità, quindi lo stress sarà elevato. Per ora vado fiducioso e assegno il punteggio pieno: cinque stelle.Questa mia recensione è assolutamente autentica, rispecchia, nel bene o nel male, il mio personale giudizio sul prodotto e la mia esperienza d'uso con lo stesso. Il prodotto in oggetto è stato da me personalmente acquistato pagando l'intero importo, non sono stati utilizzati buoni o sconti e non ho ricevuto alcun demo od omaggio dal produttore.

The only industrial thing about these is the sound, they're loud at higher RPMS. The seem to be great and have a very high static pressure but just too loud. I'm basing my opinion on a comparison i did with three other fans i had and this is by far the loudest. Very solid part but just not good for a silent.

This fan is quieter than I expected and moves a good amount of air, even though a dense CPU heat sink.

Lives up to the expectations I have for Noctua. This is a high airflow fan that is installed into my ReadyNAS Pro6 to increase its airflow due to the location I keep this in. The 3 pin fan that is voltage controlled by the NAS's OS so it doesn't spin up unless necessary so its as silent as the other more 'normal' Noctua fans but with the added maximum potential of 2000rpm, very good CFM flowthrough and high static pressure created an excellent cooling solution in the tight confines of my ReadyNAS Pro6... highly recommended
