Where to get Noctua fans in SA?

[ThatGuy_ZA]

I just got a Mecer inverter which has a very noisy 80mm fan in it which I'd like to swap for a Noctua quiet version.

Any idea where I could get one of these in SA?

Would also be interest to hear

 

[IOPS]

I've looked for years, never been able to source them locally.
amazon.com normally delivers to SA, it's pricey though.

Didn't @Evetech Support used to sell Noctua stuff?

Would also like to know, I am interested in the Noctua 92mm fan (for the Kraken G12).

They are usually quieter for a reason... because they move less air

I bought 6 x 140mm and 6 x 120mm from Amazon and they got delivered on Wednesday. I installed them yesterday and i must say it's the best fans I've ever bought.

What was the import and customs cost?

I Paid R5278 in total my bud. Import was R699 and shipping and handling was R626.

It would be great if they did.

That's fine for me. My inverter is running at 10-15% load.

Register an account with Amazon (make sure your address is a South African one).
Pick an item you are interested. If it ships to South Africa, all the costs are mentioned.
Pay the total amount and don't have to worry about anything else.
It will be delivered to you on the dates mentioned depending on the kind of shipping you choose.

I just ordered mine from Amazon, you all drop big tom on LGBTQFP disco fans but get stingy when it comes to actual engineering :-D

For the same amount of air, they are a lot quieter than anything else.

Also keen on a Noctua Fan: Amazon.com: Noctua NF-A4x10 FLX, Premium Quiet Fan, 3-Pin (40x10mm, Brown): Computers & Accessories

If anyone is gonna order, please let me know and I can hop along

Fair enough, and looks like the veins holding the stator in place are designed to reduce air slapping, especially with those owlet cuts in them. But nothing beats lower RPM for lower noise, except maybe RGB =P

The biggest difference for me is the SSO - the do not commutate hard, so less vibration, especially on lower RPM. But you do get industrial versions that go to higher RPMs - not that you would need that if you planned properly...

Sjoe, must be good to be Noctua. That's more than my whole loop cost.

Hi all, Amazon would def be the best bet. Sorry this is late to the chat, blame the carbonite noob

Their products are worth the extra to pay and import.

I was lucky to get the last Noctua NH-U12S Chromax from rebeltech just before they closed. Awesome cooler!

Arctic P12 seems to be the budget friendly fan option.

Can confirm that the P12 and P14 are good fans - I have one and it works well. Cheap too.

I love Noctua for many reasons but their pricing is insane.
