Greater than one weekNot a high-flow fan but works very well at extremely low noise output to pull air out of the case. Good for low-wattage nearly silent applications.

> 3 dayIm Zusammenhang mit dem meinem ASRock-Mainboard B450M Pro4 ergaben sich leider Kompatibilitätsprobleme. Während es am CPU-Lüfteranschluss keine Probleme gab, ließ sich der Lüfter an den Chassis-Lüfteranschlüssen nicht unter 40 Prozent regeln (natürlich PWM). Hier blieb der Lüfter einfach stehen. Der Noctua-Service vermutet einen Bios-Fehler. Ein probeweise montierter Arctic-Lüfter lief allerdings problemlos (sogar auf 10 Prozent).

> 3 dayThe rubber and the cable are really tanken care of. Package comes with many extra cables like Y split, cable extension, and the LNA.

> 3 dayIt is quiet and effective. I love Noctua, high quality and I even got used to the weird colors. Lots of airflow from a small fan.

> 3 dayI have always had (what I thought atleast) decent fans... reluctantly bought these despite the hideous colouring...

> 3 dayDefinitely quiet, but not excatly silent, because i can still hear it to a degree. Also, compared to my rosewell case fans its only slightly quieter and not as cool, but overall still good fans.

> 3 daypurtroppo da un fans della prima ora di Noctua, questa NF-S12A PWM mi ha deluso, confezione ottima, in mano il prodotto da una sensazione di solidità, ma confrontata in contemporanea con altro fan Svizzero, non regge il confronto: voltaggio richiesto di alimentazione in start piu alto in confronto allo svizzero,ma numero di giri a max velocità inferiore (parliamo di ventole entrambe dichiarate di 1200 giri max) meno portata di flusso daria e peggio distribuito (spinge nella circonferenza esterna più che un uniforme flusso al centro, non buona per radiatori a liquido), meno rumorosa ma di poco (siamo comunque per entrambe a livelli allinterno del case praticamente inudibili ! ) del concorrente svizzero considerando che questultimo fa più giri e la portata daria e notevolmente superiore e meglio distribuita, cavo di alimentazione corto, lungo nellaltra con connettore per estensione pwm in serie già crimpato assieme, MA a parte il prezzo doppio della Noctua in oggetto rispetto al concorrente, la cosa piu GRAVE ! secondo me, cosa che mi ha veramente stupito per Noctua, è che, tenendo in mano la Noctua con 2 dita su un angolo, le vibrazioni avvertibili sono notevoli indicando un GRAVE scompenso di equilibrio nel fan, facendo lo stesso con il concorrente, vibrazioni totalmente assenti !!!....quindi:
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.
