Noctua NF-S12A PWM chromax.Black.swap, Premium Quiet Fan, 4-Pin (120mm, Black)

A cable is in the picture and you need one as the female connector on the fan is like 2. I wanted to complete my build today & now am forced to wait 2 days and i have other things that simply cant wait. Baby chicks coming and you have to be ready arriving at the same time now.

I received a fan that was already used by the looks of it. All 4 screws have wear on the threads and heads, and the fan itself has wear on only one side where the screws were used to mount. Totally lame that I was sold a used fan as I am building a brand new gaming pc and was excited to give noctua brand a try.

Replaced all the case fans in my case with these. Moves a lot of air and way quieter. Completely silent at 50% fan speed. Only noise you can hear is the wind noise when they are maxed out.

NF-S12A has very unbalanced charateristic. This fan can make decent amount of air flow, but very weak air pressure. That means this fan is not suitable for envrionment with obstacles. Air flow of this fan is greatly weakened passing obstacles like radiator, heatsink, filter, and even mesh of PC case.

I created a system to provide cooling for an AV cabinet in a closet. Components include Aventage, Emotiva and Oppo. The cooling equipment used includes:

While building my new desktop I was only able to afford one of these fans, but I will be buying three more because even at full RPM its more quiet than my stock case fans, they do make a small amount of noise at full power but its not an annoying sound that other fans make. I highly recommend these fans

I bought this as an exhaust fan for my custom PC, certainly is doing its part and dropped my temps absolutely love it!

Too expensive for what it is. Noctua can do better at least they had, but this is a little gimmicky, the way they are implementing the fan rubber joints and then charging you 20+ dollars. At the end it does the job, but it could have been done better and less expensive.

My pcs temperature is always low with these guys. The only noise that comes out from it is the one from the cpu.

Very quiet, solid, good Airflow. Quiet and reliable was my main focus.
