I'm actually looking into grabbing some black Noctua fans sometime this week, though I'm more after static pressure ones.

For coolers. They are the bomb.

Yea but dem color schemes tho

The colour scheme of the fans actually suits my rig. Army Greens/Browns. Haha

They also made a grey variant as well.

I have almost $400 worth of Noctua fans in my main rig alone.

...You could say I am a fan.

Anyway, holy hell!!!!!!!!!!  Nearly $400 on fans?  What kind of rig do you have?

To be fair, that is in AUD. The fans were about $35-$49 a pop depending on fan. (I have a mix of 120mm NF-A12x15's and NF-P12 PWN).

Two fans on the front, two fans next to the hard drives, One fan on the bottom next to the PSU, two fans on the side-window, one fan on the back, two fans on the Radiator for 10x fans all up.

The great thing about having so many fans is you don't need to ramp them up in RPM which creates allot of noise, even during a 45'C-50'C (113'C - 122'F) Australian summer day.

The only fan that gets noisy is the motherboard fans during boot and the GPU in something intensive.

Yea but to truly be pcmr worthy, they need to have rgb leds

Glad I am not the only one who despises their rig looking like a Christmas Tree...

I am also a fan of Arctic Cooling Fans. Sadly they don't have them in stock here anymore. But they used to have a 6 year warranty. Performed well... And were relatively cheap.
If I was to build a white-themed build... Those are the fans I would get. (I advise not doing so. Dust makes white rigs look ugly very quickly. Haha)

Love their thermal paste and thermal paste remover too. - Been using Arctic Silver thermal paste since the late 90's/early 2000's.
