> 24 hourBien sûr que si vous y coller loreille vous y entendrait un léger souffle... plus sérieusement, très bon emballage et super performance en débit dair, il mérite son titre de haut de gamme.

> 24 hourI purchased this fan for my computer case. I used to have 3 Coolermaster Sickle flow 120, which famous for its cheap price. 2 of those work pretty well and are quiet on top of the case for exhale, but 1 on the side panel for inhale caused really weird and loud noise.

> 24 hourJe suis un fidèle de Noctua et je suis jamais déçu. L’emballage est soigné et le produit de qualité. Les raccordements en plus dans la boîte pour le prix sont vraiment le bien venu. Le système de fixation silencieux avec une petite pince est facile dinstallation et très pratique. Le ventilateur ne fait aucun bruit. Sur ma Hero VIII, le produit est fidèle au commande de tour par minute quon lui demande.

> 24 hourNot compatible with Dell (at least not Dell Precision T5500), and having bought a 3rd party adaptor cable on eBay, I found these fans were no quieter, in fact possibly slightly louder, than the stock Dell ones that i was hoping to find a silent alternative for. Not to mention, who thought brown & cream was a good colour scheme? For a cake, maybe, but not for high-end PC upgrade! I got a refund without any trouble.

> 24 hourGot it for my second intake fan as my case came with only two fans. Although some say this fan is better for exhaust, it works fine as intake too. I will slowly swap out other two case fans with noctua fans in the future. The extension cable came in handy when routing my wire through back of my case.

> 24 hourReplaced the factory intake fan and exhaust fan with an F12 and S12 and noticed a 18dBA difference about 3 feet from my case, which is insane (about 1/4 the perceived volume). Quiet as a whisper and really easy to install.
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.
