> 24 hourThe color is unique and fine with me. Ive come to prefer it for my application. Fans are beautifully designed and have much less of a hum or whine some less expensive competitors fans have. I paired them with temperature controlled system running 6 fans, two pair as in-out tandems with PWM smart fan speed adjustment, and single rear lowered speed full time fans.

> 24 hourAmazing, transformed my noisy pc. Not that technical, never opened up the pc before but this was all very easy and the results are wonderful. Better performance, and most importantly, massive reduction in noise.

> 24 hourUtiliser pour refroidir ma freebox, il est alimenté en 8V et ne fait aucun bruit: jai du vérifier plusieurs fois sil ne sétait pas arreté.

> 24 hourGreat vents, the only issue, the colour... Thats not great. Luckily for me dont really care about that. But good investment.

> 24 hourGreat fan, quieter than all my other ones. It moves less air than I was expecting, for a case fan.

> 24 hourOther reviews have said it all. Incredibly powerful cooling, and just about dead silent even at its max RPM. Well made, nothing about it is flimsy or loose. Noctua are hands down the best fans on the market for just about any PC cooling purpose you can think of.

> 24 hourOttima ventola di buona fattura .... ne ho prese 3 per aggiungere e sostituire quelle presente nel Case..... la temperatura si è abbassata di 8 gradi e anche la rumorosità è diminuita ... molto soddisfatto

> 24 hourVerarbeitung ist hier auf sehr hohen Niveau! 20€ sind vielleicht nicht gerade billig, aber man erhält dafür auch die passende Gegenleistung. Sehr wertig verarbeitet und viel Zubehör. Mit dabei sind: 2x PWM Verlängerungskabel und 1x PWM Y-Kabel (zusätzlich zu den obligatorischen Schrauben und Gummisteckern). Wirklich sehr leise: Lautstärke 10,7 - 17,8 dB, bei einem Volumenstrom von: 83,2 - 107,5 m³/h. Habe den Lüfter an meinen CPU Kühler von Alpenföhn Brocken verbaut. Gesteuert von Speedfan, läuft er fast unhörbar bei 300 - 500 rpm.

> 24 hourI was looking for a way to quite down the case fans in my pc, which I use in a small room. I switched out three case fans with the Noctuas and noticed a huge improvement. Installation was easy and the 4 pin design allows the mother board to keep speeds down when extra cooling is not needed. Even at higher speeds, the fans are still quiet. The main noise heard now is the hard drive.
The NF-S12A marks the third generation of Noctua’s signature S12 series quiet case fans, which have received more than 250 awards and recommendations from the international press. Featuring a further refined blade design with Anti-Stall Knobs that works in tandem with the new AAO (Advanced Acoustic Optimisation) frame, the NF-S12A improves the airflow/noise efficiency of its renowned predecessor by up to 8%. The PWM version sports Noctua’s custom designed NE-FD1 IC for fully automatic speed control via 4-pin fan headers and comes with a Low-Noise-Adaptor to reduce the maximum speed during PWM control from 1200 to 900rpm. Its superb running smoothness, SSO2 bearing and Noctua’s trusted premium quality make it an elite choice for quiet case cooling
AAO frame
Noctua"s AAO (Advanced Acoustic Optimisation) frames feature integrated anti-vibration pads as well as Noctua"s proprietary Stepped Inlet Design and Inner Surface Microstructures, both of which further refine the fan"s performance/noise efficiency.

Integrated anti-vibration padsIntegrated anti-vibration pads made from extra-soft silicone minimise the transmission of minute vibrations while maintaining full compatibility with all standard screws and other mounting systems. |
SSO2 bearingThe NF-S12A features 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. |
Inner Surface MicrostructuresWith the tips of the fan blades ploughing through the boundary layer created by the Inner Surface Microstructures, flow separation from the suction side of the blades is significantly suppressed, which results in reduced blade passing noise and improved airflow and pressure efficiency. |
Scope of delivery
|
Anti-Stall Knobs
The NF-S12A"s Anti-Stall Knobs reduce flow separation phenomena in medium to high impedance situations and thereby increase the fan"s stall margin. This means that the NF-S12A is even more versatile than its renowned predecessor and can achieve better performance on heatsinks and radiators.
