Are Noctua fans the best fans?
For best results in all types of application, Noctua recommends the NF-A12x25. Alternatively, the NF-F12 is a pressure-optimised fan that excels on heatsinks and radiators and the NF-S12A is an airflow-optimised fan that provides excellent results as a case fan and in other low- to mid-impedance applications.
Are Noctua NF F12 fans good?
Excellent actually. It has fairly low noise levels as well. Should be fine for use as a heatsink fan or on radiators. In fact, Noctua specifically specifies “elite choice for use on air coolers, radiators and other pressure demanding applications.”
Which way should Noctua fans Orient?
If there’s is only one fan on the cooler, it will be for EXHAUST. But if you have two fans attached, the one pushes the air into the heat sink should be facing towards the front and the one pulls the air out of the heat sink should be facing the back of the case.

This will make the fan more efficient, particularly when used in air coolers and radiators. “When you have a fan blowing against a heatsink or a radiator, it builds up pressure,” Dellinger says.

What does low noise adapter do Noctua?
The NA-SRC7 is a fan accessory set consisting of three fully sleeved NA-RC7 Low Noise Adaptors (LNA) for Noctua 4-pin PWM fans. Connected between the fan and the power source, the adaptors reduce the running speed and noise emission of the fans. Never use one Low-Noise Adaptor to slow down multiple fans.
Should PSU fan be up or down?
It is recommended to mount the power supply with its ventilation top cover facing DOWNWARD. The fan in the power supply will take in the warm air inside the computer case, and the power supply will exhaust the air through the back.
