Zaključak

Kao što smo u tekstu zaključili, apsolutna zvijezda ovoga testa je NF-P12 PWM. Sposobnost mirnog i tihog rada od 400 pa do 1300 okretaja čini ga izvanrednim proizvodom. Protok zraka je u svim uvjetima zadovoljavajući, a i najveća je vrijednost sasvim iskoristiva jer ventilator ni tada nije bučan. Kvaliteta izrade i materijala, kako P12, tako i B9 i R8 je na najvišoj razini. Priložena oprema (Y-adapteri, L.N. adapteri, produžni napojni kabel, vijci i gumeni čepići) je bogata, a u korisničkim nam se uputama najviše sviđa objašnjenje o održavanju ventilatora. Šlag na tortu je šest godišnje jamstvo proizvođača. Kada je riječ o 80 i 92 mm ventilatorima primijetit ćemo da se neće svima svidjeti zbog ipak povećane čujnosti na najvišim okretajima, no svakako je riječ o proizvodima koji su u vrhu svojih klasa. Kao i uvijek do sada Noctua je pronašla način kako unaprijediti svoje proizvode i ostati na vrhu. NF-R8 PWM u Hrvatskoj košta oko 122 kune (u Njemačkoj oko 15 €), NF-B9 PWM oko 137 kuna (u Njemačkoj oko 17-18 €), a najbolji NF-P12 PWM oko 152 kune (u Njemačkoj 20-21 €). Cijene nisu male, no ipak je riječ o ventilatorima u vrhu klase, a to je uvijek trebalo platiti.

Conclusion

Like we already wrote in the text, the absolute star of this test is the NF-P12 PWM. Its capability to work quietly and calm from as low as 400 all the way to 1300 rpm really impresses. Air flow was satisfactory in all conditions, and the highest value is quite usable, because even then the fan is not noisy. The quality of workmanship and materials, from P12, to B9 and R8 is at the highest level. Supplied accessories (Y-adapters, L.N. adapters, extension cord, screws and rubber anti-vibration plugs) are good, and we liked the tutorial on how to clean your fan in the user manual. Icing on the cake is a six year manufacturer’s warranty. When it comes to 80 and 92 mm fans we think that not everyone will like them because of the increased audibility at the highest speeds, but they are certainly products that are at the top of their class. As always Noctua found a way to improve their products and stay on top. NF-R8 PWM in Croatia will cost a little over 16 € (in Germany about 15 €), NF-B9 PWM a little over 18 € (in Germany around € 17-18), and the best NF-P12 PWM fan costs a little over 20 € (in Germany 20-21 €). Prices are not low, but they are all fans in the top of their class, and that is always something you have to pay for.
