> 3 dayVery quiet and good airflow. If youre only buying one or two fans, the abundant accessories will come in handy.

05-04-2025Bought two of these to replace the stock fans on a corsair h100i water cooler for an i9900k processor. Considerable decrease in noise level and the time it revs up to cool when gaming.

> 3 dayContains all the bits and bobs you would expect. I particularly enjoy the short 15cm cable with 30cm extension for case fans allowing me to choose which fans go to which headers on the motherboard without having.

Greater than one weekHo comprato quattro ventole della Noctua , tutte PWM (una di diametro 14cm per lestrazione superiore dellaria, due da 12 per fronte e retro ed una da 9 aggiuntiva per il dissipatore, sempre Noctua che già ne montava di serie una identica). Mi trovo benissimo e sono completamente soddisfatto dellacquisto. In totale ho cinque ventole Noctua sempre in funzione comandate dai sensori della motherboard (Asus Z170 pro gaming) e , stando con lorecchio vicinissimo al case non si sente assolutamente alcun rumore anche quando la CPU (I5 6600K) lavora in overcloking. La temperatura del processore non ha mai superato i 35 gradi!!! Ricomprerei tutto, dissipatore e ventole, perché questa marca austriaca (e non cinese come tante ) lavora veramente con serietà e fornisce prodotti eccezionalmente funzionali ed ottimamente costruiti e rifiniti. Naturalmente tutte le ventole girano su cuscinetti a sfera impermeabili alla polvere ed autolubrificati a vita. Ho addirittura conservato gli involucri delle confezioni perché sono delle piccole opere dingegno e di accuratezza. Pensate che laletta di chiusura delle scatoline è tenuta a posto da due tondini di velcro. La fornitura comprende anche un collegamento ad Y ed un filo aggiuntivo di prolunga oltre a quattro fermi antivibrazione in silicone da usare al posto delle viti ( che comunque sono anchesse fornite). Tutto eccezionale. Complimenti vivissimi alla Noctua per i suoi prodotti!

> 3 dayPushes a lot of air with very low noise, virtually silent. I installed it as an exhaust fan for my mid tower gaming rig. Silent, reliable and the colors bring me back to the 70s when men were men, fans were fans, and small furry creatures from Alpha Centauri were real small furry creatures from Alpha Centauri.

Greater than one weekHo montato la ventola col riduttore di velocità incluso, in questo modo la velocità si attesta intorno ai 1000rpm (senza riduttore andava circa a 1250rpm). È molto silenziosa, ma come detto da altri acquirenti, si sente il flusso daria.

> 3 dayケースファンとしてcorsair afシリーズから買い換えました。最高回転でも静かで驚きました。単純な音の大きさもそうですが、気にならない質の音なので、常にフルスピードで運用しています。ケーブルにスリーブが付いていたり、付属品もこれでもかと揃っています。値段は張りますが、その価値があったと思います。茶色が嫌な方は、黒バージョンも発売されています。

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.
