- There is no way you can convince me that Thermaltake didnt just copy the A12x25, with some slight modifications. The most stark one being the black and grey color scheme, we have been asking for a Chromax A12x25 for years, we just didnt know Thermaltake was going to be the one to make it for us.
Is the copy as good as the original, well today we take a shot a finding out.

Lol, that “this vs that” intro, good taste
I like the static pressure test idea, It would be cool to see it incorporated in the fan showdown. A test rig with a flap that has a pointer and a number scale would be fairly easy to construct.
Noctua: 0.14A
this vs that intro caught me off guard, 11/10
One real reason to stick with the Noctua is reliability. The A12x25 has a 6 year warranty, the Toughfan only 2 years. And the Noctua also comes with a bunch of useful accessories.
I replace fans in commercial equipment (transmitters and CCTV NVRs) as well as home computers, all of which run 24/7 for many years. I have been using Noctua since I found them. I have never replaced a Noctua fan because they last a very long time. For me the beige/brown is a badge of quality. Once I install Noctua fans in something I don't need to repair it again (for heat issues). Usually, for me, endurance outweighs beauty.
WHATTTTTT!?
The A12 copied the Gentle Typhoon's from Nidec. It was the fan that everyone tried to rip off. It also had the same small blade to frame gap. To this day it still has the highest static pressure even against the A12 at low RPM.
Sticking with Noctua out of principle. Though I have been waiting for the 140MM version and in chromax. I opted for the more standard noctua fans in chromax for my rad just because... brown.
Wow, I'm surprised TT would ever copy another company's design, that's so unlike them.
I feel like the only person crazy enough to actually enjoy the Noctua design. I mean, there is no denying that when you see the beige and brown "That's the good one, no mistake."
Noctuas are best. They are made out of molten Playmobil.
After all Noctua has done helping you create enjoyment for us. I would have a hard time buying the cheaper one to mutilate and create a monstrosity with.
my last thermaltake fan didn't last long, and i still have 11 years old noctua fans that run like day one. So, on that note, i will stick with Noctua, because i'm pretty sure that their lifetime will be greater
Noctua's pitch sounds much more pleasant, more "harmonious" if you will, than the TT
Have you used the Arctic P12 120mm fan at all? I have scoured the internet wastes, and there are no fans that come close to the combination of price, static pressure, air flow, acoustics, reliability/warranty, and features. The PWM daisy chain version is still cheaper than most competitors and they even have a double ball bearing version...that beats most prices lol.
Anyone remember the thermalfake scandal? I think they shouldn't have reminded us about it
I don't think noctua can sue the competitors with similar design because we already saw it with the gentle typhoon. It was black, by the way, and also made a 5500 rpm version. Don't know if it was the absolute first.
big ups on the Hoonigan reference! Keep all the amazing content comin! <3
Those brown and beige colours are just so awesome.
