> 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.

> 3 dayHabe mit diesem Lüfter den rückseitigen Lüfter in einem CoolerMaster N300 ersetzt. Es ist ein Unterschied wie Tag und Nacht, einfach großartig. Nachdem der Computer komplett hochgefahren ist und auch das DVD-Laufwerk nicht mehr bemüht, ist er nicht mehr zu hören.

> 3 dayReplaced the three front case fans on my H710i because they were insanely loud. Installing these was pretty easy to do. I did not use the antivibration mounts though, because they were not fitting in well. I was actually shocked by how quiet the computer is now. I cant even tell that its on. The temperatures are about the same as with the stock fans, but the noise decrease is pretty significant. It is so quiet that I now I have the desktop on the desk rather than on the floor. NZXT cam says the noise levels went down from around 50 db to 48, which I dont think is accurate.

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.
