> 3 dayHab den Lüfter als Gehäuselüfter saugend hinten im Antec P280 Gehäuse und der Durchsatz ist wirklich sehr gut. Man spürt sofort vorne am Gehäuse wie er die Luft durch zieht. Leider wird er ab ca 800 U/min hörbar und ab ca 900 U/min etwas lauter. Ab 1000 U/min ist er dann schon unangenehm aber man muss gar nicht in diesen Bereich!!! Da auch schon mit ca 600-700 U/min der Luftstrom sehr stark ist muss er nicht hoch drehen. Das ist der Große Vorteil. Und wenn man doch mal extremen Luftdurchsatz braucht, kann es es eben auch.

> 3 dayMy stock case fans leave a bit to be desired when it comes to be quiet. I replaced them with a pair of these. Running them at 450 RPM, they are inaudible. It isnt until about 750-800 RPM until they get audible (barely), and it is the movement of the air, not the fans itself.

> 3 dayPreso insieme ad altre 4 ventole Noctua per areare il mio pc. Temperature abbattute e molto silenzioso a regimi minimi, ovvio che poi facendoli partire a pieno regime tutti e 7 presenti nel case questo sembra un elicottero. Comunque tenendo sempre al minimo vado alla grande ed é freddo a sufficienza. La confezione denota una qualitá enormemente superiore alla media di altri prodotti. Eccezionale!

> 3 dayCome da titolo rispetto ad una Noctua P12 montata in estrazione in un case mini itx ho ottenuto temperature più alte di 2-3 gradi in stress test con Aida64. Il punto a favore di questa S12A risiede nella sua estrema silenziosità anche al 100%, suppongo che la discrepanza nei risultati risieda nella particolarità della mia situazione. Comunque è la migliore ventola che ho mai provato quanto a silenziosità in rapporto alle temperature, tantè che comunque ho lasciato questa installata nel pc

> 3 dayOttima ventola da 12cm utilizzata per limmissione di aria allinterno del cabinet. Utilizzata in PWM con il controllo della velocità in base alla temperatura interna risulta essere sempre silenziosa nel suo funzionamento anche al salire dei giri. Inoltre scatola completa di numerosi accessori cavi e adattatori.

> 3 dayThese fans perform well and do what theyre supposed to do. I like how they include low noise adapters and extensions if needed.
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.
