> 24 hourVery quiet and moves lots of air. Use it to remove the hot air on a refrigerator opinion a travel trailer.

> 24 hourAs described, it is VERY quiet (especially when compared to the expired chassis fan that I replaced with it), and it moves a lot of air---no way to measure it scientifically, but the deflecting paper test suggests that the claimed CFM rating is probably close (obviously it will differ depending on the differential in static pressures on either side of the fan). Anyhow, it works for me.

> 24 hourThis fan didnt move the amount of air I was hoping for. They are silent, but with that it seemed the design was a little misguided. I purchased these to go on the from and rear of my Antminer S5 as a replacement fan for the loud monster one that comes with it. This fan couldnt displace the air fast enough with a push/pull setup. I would of rated this a 4 or 5 if it somehow had the ability of chaining 2 together, but the silencers on the corners restrict that. All in all it was silent as advertised.

> 24 hourSulla qualità nulla da dire; Noctua una garanzia! sulla ventilazione non mi ha convinto al 100% la stessa Noctua la consiglia per casefan ma a mio parere se si vuole una buona ventilazione tralasciando un attimo la silenziosità punterei sulla F!

> 24 hourottima ventola, rumore bassissimo e portata daria notevole. Si installa facilmente ed ha diversi accessori e prolunghe. Vedremo se la rumorosità rimane bassa anche con il passare del tempo

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.
