Can I use this as my CPU Fan?

With the proper adapters. It can be done.Would I use this particular fan on a CPU? No.I have a couple of these fans. My opinion. They are good for case use. But I would look for something that moves a bit more air than these to use on a CPU.

I wouldn't recommend it because I believe that the specific fan on standard cpu heatsinks run faster and cool the cpu better. It problably woudnt fit on the cpu either

Hi Jamie. No, you cannot. But it's a powerful desktop fan. I hope this helps.

This always depends upon what you nave to do with it. By the way, since it is not overclockable and its frequency clock is moderately high, I think you can easily keep its stock cooling fan (like as I did)

Yes, this one comes with a CPU cooler. I've only ever heard of some of the Xeon processors not coming with a fan, because there often is a unique cooling type for a particular server you might want it in.

No not without fan for sure. I tried a 2 inch thick 5 inch diameter cpu cooler with no fan and within 3 minutes it (the heat sink) is hot enough to melt your skin if you touch it. With enough air flow and a cooler ambient temperature (I would say roughly 70 Deg F./ 23 Deg C ) you might be fine.

you may be able to,however its much cheaper to buy a separate cooling pad that comes with fans..I do have a kingWin installed on my desktop & it works great..

Actually it is designed for PC case. So, if you want to use it on CPU, you have to make sure its size can fit your CPU heat sink.

As long as the power supply is installed so the fan is facing down; you're good to go. I've used an Swiftech AIO water system on top for the cpu and fans throughout. No problems.

No, you can't, you should visit this website to know if your parts its compatible https://pcpartpicker.com/parts/cpu-cooler/#qq=1

Yes, but I would buy an aftermarket cooler. the Included heat sink doesn't move enough air and the CPU will commonly exceed 100*C

You could but this isn't the best Noctua fan for heatsinks. They make a specific NF-F12 fans for heatsinks that are the same price. I personally prefer NF-P12 fans for heatsinks and behind dust filters, they perform as well as the F12 in most situations with less noise.

Yes, you will be able to, however, the fans will always run at MAX speed. I was previously using it directly to the PSU, now its is connected to a fan controller.

Most suitable. It's high static pressure make it perfect for blowing through heat sinks and radiators. Though I wouldn't use the silent adapter for it if you're using it on the 212. I would think you would want the entirety of the fans cooling performance at your disposal when tasked to cool down your CPU.

Yes & if you not an Overclocker it is just fine with stock heatsink and fan. Might want to consider purchasing a mounting plate, (I hate those plastic plugs) the clips provided are the weakest link in cooling processors if you don't have a fairly tight seal you heat up quick.

I don't know. I can tell you that my normal clock I-5 when it is worked moderately hard will raise the CPU temperature and call in the aux fans. I would recommend the NH u9s or greater. You might consider liquid cooling.

Yes, you can just use the fan. Please refer to the owner's manual for information.
