DH Review: Northq 80mm and 120mm fans

***Zardon*** · Apr 14, 2006, 04:09 PM

Both the NQ-3711BL and NQ-3701 fans are unique in their own way. The feature they both share is they are both quiet, making them ideal for use in personal computers where noise is not desired, such as HTPC systems. Their looks will appeal to modders in a big way, especially the NQ-3711BL (and the other fans in that series). The NorthQ fans move a reasonable amount of air especially when you consider the speed they move.

They are cheap and they perform... ok, but i would prefer a papst or a noiseblocker, plus i wouldn't consider north-q as high quality.

it's cute enough, but how often do you ever see the front of an internal fan?

and it costs about the same as my Antec ones (which are also clear plastic), but they have the advantage of proven quality and reliability.

good thorough review as ever though guys
