    prezzo alto rispetto alla concorrenza, ma cè sicuramente un perchè. La migliore ventola che io abbia mai avuto

    El contenido de la caja es sublime, tanto en la calidad de los materiales como en su presentación al abrirla. Con estos son 5 los que tengo ya en mi torre, manteniendo una corriente de aire continua y fresquista tanto en verano como invierno

    If you want your computer to be silent I cant recommend Noctua fans enough Ive replaced every fan in my rig with them the closest youll get to a silent rig without passive cooling

    I have a high-end workstation from a very well-respected shop. The fan it came with blew out after about 15 months, so I replaced it with this one. Even at full speed (~1500 RPMs) its extremely quiet, barely audible in a quiet room. And according to the BIOS utilities, its keeping my CPU cooler than the previous, noisy fan. I had just thought of this as a replacement, but its a noticeable upgrade. Very happy with this.

    Great fan. Swapped this for stock Corsair fan on a H-50 cooler. Reduced temp by at least 5-7*. So Quiet! Yet moves a bunch of air. Combined with a 80 mm. extra case fan also from Noctua. temps never go above 50* when running Geekbench. See my review for the 80 mm Noctua. Will buy some more when the time is right!

    I ordered this along with a NF-A15 PWM to replace the stock non-PWM fans on my NH-D14 CPU cooler. After installing these fans, I noticed a clicking noise common with PWM fans. After reading reviews and descriptions from Noctuas website, I was led to believe that Noctua had eliminated the dreaded clicking associated with PWM fans. I was ready to send these back and go back to the stock fans when I decided to make sure these were the culprits. After process of elimination, I determined it actually wasnt these fans, but one of the stock fans on my case! I hadnt noticed it before due to the stock NH-D14 fans being a little louder, but these are so quiet it allowed me to hear the subtle clicking from the stock Corsair AF140L on my case!

    Great fan. Moves a good amount of air but can make noise. But I DO have 6 Noctua fans in my ITX case so that could be it.

    I have a corsair H80 water cooler and was seriously considering throwing it in the trash because the stock fans sound like a leaf blower when Im pushing the CPU hard during gaming and such. After reading a few comments I read that people had swapped out the stock corsair fans with these Noctua F12s and their noise issues went away... So what is the verdict? I can actually hear myself think now! No more leaf blower! :) While these are not silent the difference is night and day. Im sold.

    Using these as replacements on 6yr old falcon-nw computer. I have them hooked up with low noise dongle and using asus pwm motherboard control to slow them bit more. Using this method they are literally dead silent. Im noise junkie and my system is super quiet so in their stock low noise form yes they are silent but not as silent as my system. No biggy little tweaking on pwm fan curves. What impressed me being first time noctura user is how slow these fans are able to go, and they make absolutely zero electrical sounds till they stop because of not enough power. They are very well made. If your looking for very well made fan this is it.

    Ive installed a total of 15 Noctua fans across several of my rigs. I dont even bother with other brands or the pre-installed junk fans in cases anymore. These are some of the most quiet and reliable fans you can buy. The fluid bearings last longer, are more efficient, and quieter than any metal bearing available today. If youre serious about airflow and the static pressure performance of your fans, then Noctua is the way to go!

Teaming up eleven stator guide vanes with a specially conceived seven blade impeller, the NF-F12’s Focused Flow system creates outstanding static pressure and focuses the airflow for superior performance on heatsinks and radiators. At the same time, a wide range of advanced aerodynamic design measures, second generation SSO-Bearing and Noctua’s new, custom designed PWM IC for fully automatic control assures astounding quietness of operation. The NF-F12 comes with modular cabling, integrated anti-vibration pads and two speed settings for full flexibility. Its commanding performance, exhaustive set of features and Noctua’s trusted premium quality make it an elite choice for use on air coolers, radiators and other pressure demanding applications.

Focused Flow frame

Designed for pressure demanding applications such as heatsinks and radiators, the Focused Flow frame features eleven stator guide vanes that straighten, channel and focus the airflow, which allows the NF-F12 to rival the performance of conventional fans running at much faster speeds.

Heptaperf Impeller

Custom designed for the new Focused Flow frame and to work in tandem with the eleven stator guide vanes, the NF-F12"s seven blade Heptaperf impeller has been carefully optimised to achieve a perfect balance between power and quietness.

SSO2 bearing

The NF-F12 is the first fan to feature the further optimised second generation of Noctua"s renowned, time-tested SSO bearing. With SSO2, the rear magnet is placed closer to the axis to provide even better stabilisation, precision and durability.

Varying Angular Distance and Vortex Control Notches

The NF-F12"s stator guide vanes are set out in Varying Angular Distance and feature Vortex-Control Notches. Both measures help to spread the noise emission over a broader frequency spectrum and thus make the fan"s sound pattern more agreeable to the human ear.
