do noctua fans come with thermal paste?

Once unboxed you'll spot the cooling unit consisting of the heatsink assembly, fan and brackets + backplate that supports a very wide range of AMD and Intel processors. A little thermal paste is included as well. Also included is a special screwdriver to mount the unit, we'll show you why later on in the article.

Non-PWM fans can still have their speed adjusted by the mobo or a dedicated fan controller. PWM fans are more power efficient (although I can't imagine them saving you more than a few watts). I think a given PWM may have a lower minimum speed than an 'equivalent' non-PWM fan, but non-PWM fans can still run slow enough.

Can PWM fans be voltage-controlled? Noctua has 3 pin fans too, but yes, 4 pin fans can be voltage controlled as well, they were designed to be backward compatible.

Usually the case includes them because not all standoffs are the same size. Some cases have them built into the mobo tray. Any actually computer repair shop has extras of all sorts of standoffs.

I think stock case fans are good enough, if they came from good case manufacturer. You won't notice the temperature and noise difference, if you REPLACE them with even the best aftermarket fans.

Ceiling Fans Fans use 90 per cent less energy than central air conditioning units and can make rooms feel seven to ten degrees cooler. Fans work by using 'wind chill' to reduce body temperature rather than cooling an entire room so whilst the room temperature will not change, your body temperature will do.

That being said, extra case fans can help a little since your card's cooler dumps excess heat into your case rather than exhausting out the back, but it probably won't make a huge difference.

Reputable. Use GPU-Z to check temperature when it's idling while fans are not running. A lot of fans of newer graphics cards are designed to run at 0 rpm when it's idling or below certain temperature. It's a good thing it doesn't even run to keep it quite.

Hate to admit, but people are generally right. AMD grahics cards are a bit hotter than their Nvidia counterparts. ... This does not have to be a troubling factor for any of the AMD fans. Fact is the manufacturer will provide an adequate cooling solution, and if your PC case has some airflow then your GPU is safe.

Corsair SP120L are not very effective, ML120 and ML140 work well and NZXT FX140 v2 are surprisingly good. Acoustics performance. In Quiet mode all of the fans we used were near silent. In Performance mode they were all unacceptable.

So they are all based on the same chip, the difference between the different versions are fairly small. Mainly the non standard models offer better cooling, and some may offer modified power delivery (meaning you could possibly over clock them further than the stock version).

It's say 2 or 3 applications, maybe more. Would depend on the cooler as well... if it's a flat bottom and not direct touch heatpipes (where paste would have to fill the space between heatpipes a bit) then it would probably be as I said.

I exclusively use Noctua fans, I've spent a lot of money doing it but they make the best fans in the industry. If you care about quietness and/or overclocking, they're worth it. If you don't then they're not worth it in my opinion. I also appreciate the fact that they provide exceptional aftercare and a long warranty.

Any stock cooler can keep the CPU from overheating. Still, if you want a more efficient cooler for overclocking and one that would run more quietly, then an aftermarket cooler will almost always prove to be a very worthwhile purchase.

Reputable. This guide suggests replacing thermal paste every 6-12 months. Results may vary, but if you were to keep an eye on CPU temperatures by, say, making a note every couple of weeks or once a month, you'd get an idea of how your thermal paste is degrading as time passes.

Arctic Silver 5 is a great pick if you want a simple, effective thermal paste for your computer. I've been using Arctic Silver for my processors since it's release in the mid-2000s, and have always had great temps with it. Using silver as a base, it has great heat transfer.
