I am thinking of buying the Noctua Air cooling fan and heat sink for my Sig Rig. I can't wait to see if they are as good as everyone says.

I got two NF P12 fans here, I even got their metal sticker on my case. I love Noctua even though I'm getting a IFX-14 soon.

Thought I'd chime in with my two cents! Although I'm replacing my noctua with a megahalem in about a week, I still love my Noctua heatsink, and do not regret it (I realise this thread is about the fans btw!).

It's well crafted, has a solid mount, and cools great. Just thought I'd warn you however, that many people tell you not to lap this heatsink as it's not worth it, but that is (sometimes) wrong. It varies depending on cooler to cooler, and in my case (as with some others) it was very unflat. However, as most definitely do not need lapping, you would have to test your individual heatsink with the razor/ruler method. And do this before lapping, because if it does not need it you might end up making it worse. Pressure modding does help a little (as long as you do not go too far, be careful) but is not as useful as it is on the TRUE.

Also these fans excel at moving decent amounts of air, at very low noise levels. However, if you are looking to cool a beastly overclock, you will probably have to replace the stock fan unless they've changed it since I purchased mine - I've heard they might have. I still use the noctua fan in one of my silent rigs, and its great for what it does - nay, its *excellent* at what it does, but it was never meant to handle extreme cooling.

Glad to see some 'fans' of the noctua variety btw!
