Noctua's "industrial PPC" series of fans are extremely powerful PWM-controlled fans. They have a wider RPM range and much higher maximum speed compared to other Noctua models, allowing for fairly quiet operation when cooling needs are minimal with the ability to scale up to high airflow almost instantly when called upon. At full speed they are no longer quiet, of course, but in some system configurations they may never need to reach that threshold.
As is the case with all PWM fans, for proper operation these must be used with a motherboard that includes an appropriate number of fan headers onboard and has controls in the BIOS for fan speed settings.
