> 3 dayThe fan is awsome dont get me wrong but the cable is very hard to hide being a really short cable with an extension and there should be 8 black dampners for people who want a black fan

> 3 dayMatched with my build, great noise level, good performance fan. Tho I’d recommend the other versions if you want some stress relief for Cpu cooler, this one is more for airflow efficiency

> 3 dayI swapped out the rear fan on my PC as the original fan was part of a water cooler system and designed primary to push air through a radiator. When I changed out and moved my radiator system to the top of my PC, I wanted a fan that runs as lower rpm but still move air and this one does that well. Seems to be doing the job well and didnt really care for the LED lighting, so this was a good solid choice.

> 3 dayIts 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.

> 3 dayIf 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

> 3 dayI switched these from Noctua Industrial fan because although they performed great they were so loud. Since were they were going didnt need need special fans got these and with 12 of these for my Phanteks 719. My case is so damn quite and keeps my parts cool. Now they are not cheap but you get quiet and performance which is nice.

> 3 dayCoupled these with a pair of Noctua NF-A20 PWM chromax.Black.swap 200x30mm fans for a new ryzen upgrade build I made, couldnt be happier. The new PC is running cool, and you can barely notice the fans. Hope they last me a long time. As you can see from the screenshot, they are easily controlled and speed adjusted from MSI Center.

Greater than one weekGreat cooling performance and extremely quiet. Below 50%, the fan noise is barely audible. But even above 50% they are still very quiet. And thanks to the anti-vibration pads, I have not experienced any vibrations, even on the max speed. Ive had problems with vibrations from other fans, even though they say their anti-vibration, but no issues with these. The cooling is great, keeping the inside of my PC cooler than the stock fans with a lot less noise. The only downside is that the cables are a little shorter than Id like them to be, but honestly they performer so well I cant complain.

Greater than one weekBuild quality looks good, its black
Having received more than 100 awards and recommendations from international hardware websites and magazines, the NF-S12A is one of Noctua’s most renowned and popular 120mm fans. Its outstanding airflow efficiency and superb acoustics make it ideal for case cooling and other low-impedance applications. The chromax.black.swap edition combines the NF-S12A’s signature quiet cooling performance with an attractive all-black design and a bundle of swappable red, white, blue, green, yellow and black anti-vibration pads that allow the colour-customisation of the fan to match individual build colour schemes. For further customisation, a wide range of accessories such as coloured cables, additional anti-vibration pads and anti-vibration mounts are available separately. Topped off with Noctua’s trusted premium-grade SSO2 bearing and more than 150,000 hours MTTF, the NF-S12A PWM chromax.black.swap is the perfect choice for all users who value individual, focused build aesthetics just as much as class-leading quality and performance.
Trusted NF-S12A design
The NF-S12A features the third evolution of Noctua"s classic Straight Blade Design that has earned its S12 series countless recommendations from hardware journalists and enthusiasts around the world. Further optimised for even better airflow/noise efficiency, it makes the NF-S12A an ideal quiet case fan.

Swappable anti-vibration pads in 6 coloursThe NF-S12A PWM chromax.black.swap comes with 4 black, white, red, blue, green and yellow NA-AVP1 anti-vibration pads respectively. By combining the various colours with black or leaving off the pads on one side, the fan can be coordinated with most popular build colour schemes out of the box. Additional NA-SAVP1 sets for outfitting both sides in one colour can be purchased separately. |
SSO2 bearingThe chromax line fans 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. |
Anti-Stall KnobsThe 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. |
AAO frameNoctua"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 |
Maximising colour choices, Noctua’s chromax.black.swap edition fans can be colour-customised using the included swappable anti-vibration pads as well as optional anti-vibration mounts and cables. This makes them ideal for enthusiasts looking for true premium-grade fans that can be colour-coordinated with popular build themes such as all black, black & white or black & red.
