> 3 dayTerza ventola che acquisto e sicuramente ce ne saranno altre. Se utilizzata senza un adeguato settaggio da bios la ventola gira a massimi rpm rimanendo comunque molto silenziosa considerando il volume di aria che sposta. Comparata con altre ventole che ho avuto Noctua resta sempre la migliore scelta. Se volete la massima silenziosità con un ottimo ricircolo di aria settate le ventole a circa 700-800 rpm massimi da bios o se non avete esperienza provate ad usare il cavetto low noise. Con tre ventole accese durante la notte il PC è praticamente inudibile e poggiando le mani fronte o retro del case è possibile avvertire l enorme quantità di aria che si muove. Prodotto decisamente consigliato.

> 3 dayI own several Noctua fans for my computer cases and for my after market CPU coolers, these fans are quiet and move a ton of air. These are some of the best fan on the market.

> 3 dayPurchased 2 of these as intakes for my Solo II and they move more air than I expected for how quiet they are. On normal PWM settings I can feel air exiting the case, which is impressive as I dont have an exhaust fan. Also on normal PWM settings Im unable to hear any fan noise, at most I just air the sound of air moving. These are a significant upgrade over the TrueQuiet and TrueQuiet Pro I was using. I keep my PWM settings set to quiet and they still provide adequate cooling with less of the moving air noise. With a new baby I dont game as loud as I used to so its nice to be able to quiet down my computer as well.

> 3 dayNo complains here, nice and quiet pc fan, is keeping my pc cool. I am running 3 of them on a fan controller.

> 3 dayPerfoms exactly as advertised. Ultra quiet even without the ULN, and cooling performance is phenomenal.

> 3 dayNoctua nunca defrauda, se nota el incremento del caudal del aire en la salida de la caja solo con poner la mano. Este modelo está optimizado para flujo, osea ventilación de cajas, no para radiadores.

> 3 dayNot only did I buy an S12, but I wound up tossing my liquid cooler for the ginormous but brilliant D15. Noctua is the go to for me after these two purchases.

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.
