> 24 hourI bought this to replace my dying exhaust fan. This thing pushes air through it like no other. Super quiet, super easy to install whether you use the screws or screwless option.

> 24 hourOrdered this as a replacement for the original fans that came with my AIO cpu water cooler. The originals were a little loud so I tried these. After installing and turning the pc in I had to open the case again because I thought they were defective. Turns out they are just quiet. Have them now running at 1000rpm and still they are quieter than the originals which were running at 800rpm. Fyg the computer case is a full tower sitting underneath the desk. Even at 1200 rpm the fans are barely noticeable. Very impressed.

> 24 hourJai acheté ce ventilateur dordinateur super silencieux 12 volt que jai branché sur une prise avec minuteur pour ventilé le lit car il fait très chaud.et grâce a ce système nous dormons mieux.. Début à 01 h du matin et jusqu’à 4 h fin. Une merveille

> 24 hourRegulation through PWM (with MB that support it) is great. According to speedfan it spins 600-1240RPM (35-100%). When set under 35% is stops. With some regulation in speedfan all fans are shut down when computer is in idle (completely quiet in idle !).

> 24 hourMan these fans really, really suck! Or blow, it depends on your orientation. After seeing how popular Noctua has become since my last computer build I decided to try them out on my rebuild for case cooling.

> 24 hourThis is the real deal. I know the price is high but the fan comes with so many accessories its kinda worth it. I used the rubber stoppers ( in lieu of fat screws) to help silence another PC. I used the 2 in 1 fan adapter to connect 2 fans to one fan header. Then I used the cable extender to hook those fans to a 5.25 fan controller. Now I have intake fans for my arcade cab. I used to low RPM fan adapter on a 140mm exhaust fan to help silence it. So you never know when you will be able to use the extras.
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.
