Well, Noctua took their sweet time with this and looks like it was all worth it in the end. [...] The NF-A12x25 is a fantastic fan for this purpose, and I am quite pleased to see a product that has had performance and noise as metrics for R&D over RGB lighting. Indeed, we see that the NF-A12x25 is among the very quietest of the fans tested so far (which includes some of the very best fans in the market) while performing in the better half of the segment. To provide more context, it is about as quiet as the Phanteks PH-F120MP (which I used to recommend to those prioritizing noise while still maintaining decent performance) while performing as well as the CORSAIR ML120 PRO RGB (which I used to recommend as an excellent performing fan). As it stands today, and pending the cost factor which we will get into in the next page, the Noctua NF-A12x25 is my overall top recommendation for watercooling fans from a performance/noise basis.
