    Noctua fans: Can the frame be painted?
    « on: March 30, 2015, 07:51:25 AM »
    Can the house ( frame ) of Noctua case fans be painted?



    right now I got a white/red theme going on inside my case.

    Planning to add an extra fan inside and upgrade the exhaust fan on my case.  But Im not a big fan of the tan color?

    Would the fans need to be taken out?  Would this affect the fan?



    Im am NOT going to paint the actual fan itself.



    Thanks everyone.



    *** Are Noctua fans PWM?  Or can the RPM only be adjusted with the 3 RPM 3 different connectors given with the fan?



    Thanks everyone.

    While you can, you would really be wasting time and definitely void the warranty on the fans.  Why not just get a fan in a colour that suits you?  Noctuas are good but there are plenty other fans that work just as well.  Besides, it's a case fan, the difference between fans when used in cases is minimal.
