JFYI

BTW, IIRC it's at least a couple of years that Noctua is tinkering around those new "A series" fans:

Expected MSRP is higher than iPPC, almost twice the current 120/140 lineup. :(

Seems a good move by noctua, but honestly the only fan of those that interest me is the NF-S12A, the rest i think there are good alternatives out there.

Thats bad, really bad for noctua. I dont see a reason why, as it is noctua stands as a very expensive fan, very few go over them.... and now Be Quiet starting to hit more retail stores, like performance pcs at $20 a pop.... so i think noctua should remain with its pricing and not go over.

Noctua: A fan fours years in the making @ Computex 2017

Seems $30 MSRP for the NF-A12 25, like half more.... Will see how they measure vs the traiditonal Gentle Typhoons or Darkside Typhoon, and others like NB eLoop B12 and Be Quiet Silentwing 3.

Can't say for dollar countries, here in Italy the prices for a 120mm will be ~13 EUR (P12/S12 Redux) / ~17 EUR (regular P12/S12/F12 brownies) / ~24 EUR (F12 iPPC) / ~30 EUR (new A12 brownie): not exactly cheap, I mean. :roll:
