Noctua fans provide a great combination of airflow, quality, and low noise operation - but are fairly expensive, as fans go. They also have a rather unique color scheme, making them easy to spot in system builds.
This particular model is a 140mm size, as used on some larger tower cases, with a PWM type power connection. That lets supporting motherboards control the fan speed, either at a fixed rpm set in the BIOS or adjustable based on temperature.

I admit the colors can be a bit off-putting, but aside from that Noctua fans are the best I have ever seen or heard. These 140mm models are great for using in most Fractal Design cases, which commonly use fans of that size.

I use Noctua fans in all my personal computers. They are excellent at cooling and incredibly quiet. I've always been happy with the results.
