> 3 dayThe fans DID NOT WORK. Installation was a hassle - the brown vibration things provided do not go through the holes, and the screws are impossible to screw. You have to use all your force and it is a 2 person job just to get 1 screw in. In the end, the fans did not even spin. Complete waste of money, do not buy this.

> 3 dayThis fan served as a replacement case fan for an existing system. It was much quieter than my original thermaltake fan. I will definitely be buying again in the future.

> 3 dayLo compré para sustituir un ventilador pocho que me costó 4€ hará 5 años que había empezado a hacer mucho ruido. Hace el mismo ruido que el cualquier otro ventilador, no merece para nada el precio. No lo devuelvo porque me da una pereza tremenda desmontarlo, pero vamos, que si os hace falta un ventilador, con uno de 4€ de marca reconocida vas sobrado.

> 3 dayI had no real idea why people paid extra for fans. Then I bought these. The descriptors I came up with: Quiet, silent, noiseless.... These are fans which are good enough to use, at least part of, the submarine saying -- Run Silent, Run Deep. These definitely run silent. Im sure theyd run deep, just dont need to take them below sea level. :). Honestly, these are the best fans made. Ive compared these to the Noiseblocker fans. The Noiseblockers are great fans, but when compared to the Noctua, theres just no comparison.

> 3 dayBest PC fan on the market. Has great airflow to cool my pc and hit the hard drive bay in the front of my PC. No issues with overheating hard drives now.

Greater than one weekVentilador silencioso y eficaz. Llevo más de 6 meses con mi ordenador y al ir a montarlo me decidí por este ventilador para la refrigeración y no me he arrepentido en ningún momento, es realmente silencioso y el montaje es bastante sencillo. Merece la pena gastarse un poco más de la media en un ventilador de esta calidad para estar tranquilo.
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.
