> 3 dayI expected this fan to run quietly and cool my computer. It does! I am happy enough to give it a perfect 5.

> 3 dayI cant hear them at all. I cant hear anything else than the Intel stock cooler! (lol) When you add the splitters, the low-noise adapters, the 12 inch extension cable and the vibration pads, they are the cheapest deal out there. I use them as intake, on splitters with vibration pads and screws. The low-noise adapters and rubber pins were not used.

Greater than one weekHo comprato ventole di vario tipo e di vari produttori, dopo aver comprato questa ventola mi sto accorgendo che cè differenza tra una ventola da 10 euro e una da 25.

> 3 dayNeeded to replace a noisy stock rear Case Fan. This was our, Go To brand of choice. Connected directly to Gigabyte GA-990FXA-UD5 Motherboard. Satisfied with Air Volume vs Noise. This Fan should outlast this PC System Build!

> 3 dayEigentlich wollte ich meinen Sharkoon-Gehäuselüfter durch einen leiseren ersetzen. Daher bestellte ich den hier. Die Verarbeitungsqualität des Lüfters ist super, wie auch vom reichlichen Zubehör. Auch die Montage klappte einfach. Aber als ich dann meine Maschine einschaltete, war ich etwas enttäuscht: leiser als der bereits im Gehäuse verbaute 120er-Lüfter von Sharkoon ist er auch nicht. Von daher seine 20 EUR meiner Meinung nach nicht wert.

> 3 dayNoctua is a no brainer buy. Every review holds them at the top for good reason. Their technology and support is unmatched.

Greater than one weekWorks fine and does help keep the gaming computer cooler as long as the side cover is off. However, if you put the side cover back on it doesn’t work well. Gave it a 3 star because of the side cover issue.

> 3 dayNoctua sempre al Top. Acquistata per muovere piú aria nel mio case NZXT H440 visto che ho inserito un ulteriore harddisk che, a causa della sua posizione, tende a tappare le 3 ventole frontali montate nel case

> 3 dayHave this fan as my case’s exhaust fan and it works wonderfully. Keeps my computer components cool while I game. I highly recommend buying one if you need a great exhaust fan.
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.
