> 3 dayUpdate: Quite sad i discovered a major design flaw in this fan. Whenever it starts up at around 74% power output, it would make a high whining sound due to the friction created by the motor and fan. For someone like me that likes to have the fans turned off until it comes up to a certain load, this fan is a major downer because it would mean when the temps bounce back and forth from what im doing, it would make this whining sound over again and again.....

> 3 dayAstounded at how silent this thing is. I use it for a Corsair H60 radiator. Works great e with no issues.... So far.

> 3 dayThese are great little fans. The only downside to them is the colour, which does not affect me, but some people may not like it for their systems. If you dont care about the looks, then these are fantastic fans for a CP.

> 3 dayI originally purchased a large Noctua fan for my home theater PC that sits in the living room. These fans are very quiet and move a good amount of air. They come with three in-line resistors, so you can cap the speed (read noise) of the fan to a level you pick. I have put these fans in my media server and my main pc too, and they work great.

> 3 dayI had read about noctua fans and thought I would try some. I liked them so much, I replaced all of my fans with noctua fans. They look and feel like they will last a lifetime.

> 3 dayI have to say that these are indeed the most quited fans Ive had, Im using 2 of these for a Corsair H60 in push pull, with that, Im able to use the silent profile without compromising the cooling, I get better temps than the stock fan and it is completely silent, even under full load, this fans are more silent than an idle laptop.
Teaming up eleven stator guide vanes with a specially conceived seven blade impeller, the NF-F12’s Focused Flow system creates outstanding static pressure and focuses the airflow for superior performance on heatsinks and radiators. At the same time, a wide range of advanced aerodynamic design measures, second generation SSO-Bearing and Noctua’s new, custom designed PWM IC for fully automatic control assures astounding quietness of operation. The NF-F12 comes with modular cabling, integrated anti-vibration pads and two speed settings for full flexibility. Its commanding performance, exhaustive set of features and Noctua’s trusted premium quality make it an elite choice for use on air coolers, radiators and other pressure demanding applications.
Focused Flow frame
Designed for pressure demanding applications such as heatsinks and radiators, the Focused Flow frame features eleven stator guide vanes that straighten, channel and focus the airflow, which allows the NF-F12 to rival the performance of conventional fans running at much faster speeds.

Heptaperf ImpellerCustom designed for the new Focused Flow frame and to work in tandem with the eleven stator guide vanes, the NF-F12"s seven blade Heptaperf impeller has been carefully optimised to achieve a perfect balance between power and quietness. |
SSO2 bearingThe NF-F12 is the first fan to feature 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. |
Varying Angular Distance and Vortex Control NotchesThe NF-F12"s stator guide vanes are set out in Varying Angular Distance and feature Vortex-Control Notches. Both measures help to spread the noise emission over a broader frequency spectrum and thus make the fan"s sound pattern more agreeable to the human ear. |
Scope of Delivery
|
Integrated anti-vibration pads
Integrated 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.
