i'm using artic ones, but when they start dying, i'll change them all to noctua, been using noctua redux 14cm to cool my hifi power amp, 3 years almost 5-6 hrs a day, still seems good.

He is just saying that if they ever die then he will change to noctua. If my arctic p12 case fans die, I'm buying the infinity mirror TL-M12W fans from thermalright on taobao, cost about $6-7 per fan and looks good

when they start spinning slower rpms, you can see, quite obvious.

was quite happy with the arctic ones so i got them for my hifi power amp, but they started slowing down after 2years. then changed all to noctua and they have been great for the last 3 years.

really is called buy quality.

really? i think maybe you all keep changing, that's why never experience such things, i use until spoil then change.

i've had it happen quite a few times actually.

Are you over volting them? Since you're not using with a traditional computer PSU, maybe your supply voltage too dirty. I've not encountered fans slowing before other than really cheap $5 no brand name molex connector ones from SLS long time ago.
