What do you make of this one of two fans on my NH-U9B has a ring of oil splatters around it.



Looks like a failed seal as its only on one fan and I don't cook chips in my bedroom, any one got any suggestions?

But you won't mind if I have different opinion, right? :cool: The 120mm ones are actually very good! The smaller ones are good too in their size-class, just not as silent as their bigger brothers... 🙂

A tad overprized?

But ok.. The bearings last around 30 years and a nuclear blast, So i guess they are worth it..

If i were a fan, i'd want to be a wind turbine..:D

and you get a identity boost as well with Noctua, and you dont have to feel like a outcast, when going lan with your pals..

Ok, honestly.. Its my personal opinion about Noctua..

If peolpe like them, ok..

But i dont think they are worth the cash..

Well, guys, if I would have to be a fan, I would like to be a Cougar... I just would beg to not be turned on, as I would puke all over in the system... :cool:

Enlighten us, grottslampan, about "What is 5 feet tall, drinking Monster, and dreaming about noctua?"! 🙂

I was going to get Noctua fans for the radiators in my new build.
Are you saying there are fans with more quietness at same static pressure, grottslampen? What is your favorite?

Anyone tried the new SP and AF series from Corsair yet? They are getting some fairly good reviews.
