Greater than one weekIm a Noctua fan (see what I did there?) despite their odd color. I personally have become fond of it and they work amazing. The packaging is great, instructions clear, and everything feels like amazing quality.

Greater than one weekExcellent quality would after buying this and several other Noctua products, I would not hesitate to recommend them.

> 3 dayAmazing! Works great I put it as an exhaust fan because it take alot of air with each spin and take out all the hot air great like any other Noctua product!

> 3 dayNot the prettiest of fans but I’ve a closed case with no windows so I only care about performance and they don’t get any better when it comes to noise (lack of) and air flow performance. These are optimised for airflow so be careful if you need something more pressure optimised, i.e. for a rad or heatsink

Greater than one weekTrès bon produit, un peu austère mais très efficace

> 3 dayVentola incredibilmente silenziosa. Dotata di diversi adattatori e cavi per ogni evenienza. Si monta al case tramite supporti in gomma pensati per ridurre le vibrazioni, e quindi il rumore, al minimo. Unica pecca il montaggio. Ho avuto un po di difficoltà per fissarla sui supporti in gomma ma anche a causa del poco spazio di manovra per le mani.

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.
