Having trouble tuning out the hum of your PC fans? Maybe it’s time you took another look at Noctua’s NF-F12 integrated noise cancellation fan. According to the firm, the Computex prototype kept things about 20dB quieter by utilizing a patented RotoSub ANC technology to emit anti-noise directly from the fan’s own blades.
