Customer Review
- Reviewed in Canada on June 3, 2019I have purchased many Noctua products over the years - CPU Heatsinks & Fans and Case Fans... the quality and noise levels are off the charts. I don't really consider purchasing other brands at this point because I know exactly what I'm going to get from Noctua.
This fan was purchased to reduce the noise coming out of an MSI GTX 1050 Ti video card. These cards have fans that increase in speed as the graphics processing unit (GPU) heats up. When you are in-game on this particular card... the fan is flat out loud. This was a very easy mod:
- Remove the four screws on the back to remove the heatsink and fan/plastic shrowd.
- Remove four small screws to remove the fan/shrowd combo, unplug the fan from the card.
- Use 8 black zip ties: 4 to create loops around the holes on the heatsink and the other 4 to tighten the fan to the 4 loops. Tighten it all down so the fan is centered on the heatsink.
- Clean up the GPU/heatsink and apply new thermal paste.
- Reinstall the heatsink with the four screws.
- Plug the 4-pin power of the Noctua fan to a vacant chassis fan plug on the motherboard.
- Pop into the BIOS and set the fan to run 100%, 100% of the time.
Cooling performance improved by 1-2 degrees while gaming and the noise is low and consistent...
Easy mod. Great fan. Recommended.
