> 3 dayThis fan is great! It runs silent, moves a good amount of air, and has good static pressure (which is great as I have this in front of my radiator). Ive seen people complain about the color scheme, white and maroon will not match with any other components Ive seen. But I really dont care about the look (windowless case) as long as it runs well. And boy does this baby run smooth.

> 3 dayNice upgrade for my cases intake fans. The colors are odd and I like that.

> 3 dayIm pasting this review from my website but you will have to go to my website in order to see the benchmark results because I cannot put pictures in Amazon reviews. I posted the link in the comments because Amazon doesnt allow URLs in reviews.

> 3 dayThe fan installed without any problems in my Lian Li case and has been running for months quietly and flawlessly. Id buy them again.

> 3 dayBought to replace a similarly priced fan from another well known company that was already failing. Easy to replace the faulty item, even for me, and PC is now completely inaudible when running.

Greater than one weekQualità elevata come da standard Noctua. Utilizzata per immettere aria in un case Cooler Master Gladiator 600. Ricca dotazione che comprende viti classiche e in gomma antirumore, prolunga, sdoppiatore di uscita a 4 pin e Ultra-Low-Noise Adaptor che riduce velocità e rumore della ventola. Molto silenziose.

> 3 dayInstalled 4 into my rig, 3 in and 1 out. Much quieter than the box fan I was using to cool my PC(lol). Came with a nice supply of Y cables, extension, etc. Would purchase again if I needed more.
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.
