Nespresso Barista - First Use

And here I want a BeQuiet! Silent Wings 3 in white...

The color has been the only reason why I haven't bought noctua. Deadass number 1 reason. Sorry, but that color is ugly as shit.

Here in France they are both priced in the 28-32€ range, soooo... Noctua is better

According to noctuas roadmap
2021 Q3 A12x25 black version and black NH-U12A.
2021 Q4 White fans and next gen 140 mm fan

ThermalFake strikes again

Suppos-ED-ly
NOT
Suppos-EB-ly

seems people dont know that noctua ripped their a12 design from gentle typhoon

Supposedly, not "supposibly"

What about the warranty?

Those brown and beige colours are just so awesome.

The only Noctua fan I've bought was a gray 140mm. Not sure of the model. If it had been beige and brown, I would have chosen a different brand. Great fans, horrible aesthetics.

I've been waiting for the noctua chromax for so long, then last night I saw the TT fans for 16 dollars each on Amazon, it was a no brainer lol

nah, one detail renders it completely useless.
it does not lay flat on radiator with all square perimeter, instead it contacts only with a circular tube and the rest leaves gaps for air to escape the radiator obstacle.

You forgot to mention that the noctua got 3x the warranty period, coming in at 6 years.

My question is longevity. How long before the bearings wear down and stop working.

Noctua shouldn't get butt hurt. The two fans are clearly different and noctua haven't released a black version even though they could.

I think with the Noctuas you are paying for a way superior bearing. SS02 is way better and they come with a 6 year warranty. But the toughfans are too cheap and too similar for most people to pass up. I would tell Noctua to take legal action but they kind of stole the design on the A12's already.

Noctua could be smart about this... bring out a black version and make it much more expensive :) everyone wins... sort of

It will probably sound stupid, but when building my new PC with glass panel sides, the only reason I didn't go for Noctua was the color...

the austrian are really god with polymer LOL

Oh my.. that bass line in the intro 😮👌

big ups on the Hoonigan reference! Keep all the amazing content comin! <3

I still have hope Noctua will release a RGB fan with A12x25 specs....one day 🙏

thermaltake copy the lian li o11 please

Of course TT can undercut on the price, they have no R&D overhead to cover, since they stole the damn design.

I'll bet you they'll last a fraction of the longevity of a proper Noctua, too.

bLaCk gOoD bEiGe BaD is such a childish sentiment.

You should go with the Noctua fan. TT is a trash company. Wouldn't surprise me if TT sued Noctua for retroactively copying them for "their" design.

I love how Picard can't even bring himself to look at anything.
All jokes aside, next time I buy new fans for a build, it's going to be a hard choice....
Just kidding, the chromax.black.swaps just came out 6 days ago and the prices of the TT's went up. The price was the only reason to by the TT's and now they have lost that advantage.

2 year warranty vs 6 year warranty, i.e. questionable motor quality, that's a major difference not stated in the video

It's a joke when a company like Thermaltake can produce a A12x25 in black for us, while Noctua has had major isssues making them in that same color. But wait... All of a sudden after Thermaltakes release of Toughfan, Noctua can produce them in black.. All of a sudden no problem hahahahah xD

"liquid crystal polymer" aka 20-30% glass fiber fill ABS (note the swirlies). Increases stiffness and reduces thermal expansion rate, which allows for tighter tolerances in the molds. Still not as strong as glass fiber fill PP, PAA or PA6, but ABS is CHEEEEEEEAP comparatively. Any fiber reinforced thermoplastic mold is expensive, and has a shorter life span though.

GentleTyphoon: WAT?

And I wonder did the class action go anywhere or did noctua pull the typical noctua procrastination

If the fan is the same, the only thing that matters is the engine.

Looking for my case fans currently on stock fans. Case is Aorus c700g. Any recommendation for the front 3 fans?

How haven’t they been sued ? Unless they’re paying royalties to noctua ?

When patents run out, this is fine.

Did you notice the Amp draw of one vs the other. The noctua was 140ma the other was 700ma.

noctua just mad cause thermaltake has a 14 ver and they don't yet...

I'll tell you one thing. Noctua here in EU is 32 euros, while Toughfan is 15 euros. So for the price of one Noctua, I can buy 2 Toughfan's, which is what I'm gonna do since I need 3 fans for my rad.

Simply regarding price, does the TT include the resistor or splitter/extension ( I don't know what the Noctua includes with this this particular item). And TT makes quality, but longevity enters into the questions too. BTW, I don't personally care either...bat am always looking to save a buck as well. (Just got a different TT that I haven't installed yet...lol)

Totally late to the party but how do either of these compare to the silentwing pro 4?

We pay Noctua for the research they've done. Thermaltake just payed some people to reverse-engineer the fan they worked on. Cringe.

what's their mean time to failure though? My experience with Noctua is that they're pretty reliable. I'd rather have fans that last the full lifetime of my computer rather then having to replace them several times over it's lifetime.

У noctua заявлено магнитное центрирование, а у TT нет. Магнитное центрирование может быть полезно на низких оборотах в случае использования гидродинамического подшипника. Потому что на низких оборотах этот тип подшипника не нагнетает достаточно смазки в зазор между валом и стенками втулки. -Магниты в этом случае предохраняют от трения. Ещё одно отличие состоит в том, что noctua лучше контролирует качество продукции, тогда как у TT разброс качества от одного экземпляру к другому выше. Я лично купил TT для использования на башенном кулере, но не из-за цветовой гаммы (хотя бирюзовый очень хорошо смотрится), а потому что он дешевле, а я живу в россии. Жаль, что в видео не было сравнения втулок после многих часов наработки - это бы показало разницу в качестве подшипника ,если она есть (у TT заявлен ресурс ниже). И в любом случае подобная геометрия крыльчатки вряд ли даёт преимущество над классическими широкими лопастями. Возможно, что даже уступает классике при использовании на радиаторе башенного кулера. И я собираюсь это проверить, но никак не могу дождаться жары, а со дня на день и вовсе ожидается падение температуры до +2 градусов. И это в мае накануне лета.
