> 3 dayPerfect exhaust fan for my case. very quiet. Comes with everything you need. Couldn’t get the anti vibration mounts to work though.

> 3 dayThese fans are probably the best I have ever installed in a desktop computer. They are super quiet and are keeping the temperatures to a minimum. The added accessories (i.e. Y-cable and extension) make this a must buy. Worth every penny!!!!!

> 3 dayI own several Noctua fans for my computer cases and for my after market CPU coolers, these fans are quiet and move a ton of air. These are some of the best fan on the market.

Greater than one weeki have to physically get up and look to see if this thing was actually working or not because its completely silent. it moves a significant amount of air too!

> 3 dayI would never think a fan is worth this price but I took a chance to replace a noisy fan on a liquid CPU cooler. This thing is super quiet and keeps my CPU cool.

> 3 dayThese are the best fans I have ever used. I have bought 10 of these. From a technical POV these are super quiet and well engineered. The kit comes with all sorts of cables, jumpers, extensions and twofers. The box contains screws and also rubber quick connect mounts. Although it doesnt effect performance the box and packaging is really top-notch. You can tell Noctua has really spent some time engineering and thinking through this hardware. These are not glitzy LED lit fans, but really a nice bit of tech that does the job of cooling and is very quiet. I cant think of any reason to use any other fan in any computer I build

Greater than one weekLet me explain how quiet this fan is. I have a Noctua NF-F12 sitting on my CPU heatsink. Thats also silent. Once I replaced an admittedly quiet (but not silent) case fan with this NF-S12A, I simply could not hear my computer. At all.
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.
