Noctua NF-S12A PWM chromax.Black.swap, Premium Quiet Fan, 4-Pin (120mm, Black)

Whomever shipped the items took the yellow, white, red and black rubber pieces out of one the fans I received. They also put 2 of the original brown corner pieces in the box and sent it as new. The fans work fine as I would expect from Noctua fans. I have used the older Noctua fans for my last 2 builds. They have always been very quiet and I will continue to use Noctua in the future.

Forget these fans if you have dust filters, mesh filters, any sort of restrictions.

If your hesitant, don’t be. All those YouTube videos about noctua having the best fans is not a bunch of bs they are correct. Look up perfection in the dictionary it’ll say noctua. Now in black. Buy extra vibration pads though they only come with 4 of each color. Recommend these for case exhaust fans. For intake case and cpu coolers go with the nf f12. Need 140 mm go with nf a14 all in black

These fans make great case fans. I swapped cases to ditch a 3000rpm iPPC fan that I was using, and this feels wayyyy better than night and day. The only issue I have with these fans is the cables. Noctua thought it would be a good idea to use this strange plastic composite coating on their cables, which is terrible for cable management, especially if you have to bend the cord. I got around this by not using the included cable and using my own y-splitter.

Its a fan. It pushes air. It is quiet. Good enough for me. Pricey, but hasnt started squeaking or stopped spinning in the past 3 years of use.

Just wow, if you are air cooling these are the best fans you can get. Quiet and they move air really well. I use these as intakes for my liquid cooled rig with some F12s on the radiators.

Quiet, moves a ton of air, what more could you want from a fan. You get what you pay for and this is wort the price

Sweet sweet Noctura fans in black. Whats not to like?!

To summarize my points before going into details:

Works great as a case fan for airflow, very quiet and the color blends in so much better than the old beige color.
