> 3 dayPerfect inside my Node 804 case. I have 6 of these puppies running to keep my FreeNas system cool and quiet. This are inaudible when running at 600rpm. These are the PWM fans, so voltage and fan speed are controlled via your motherboard. I just wish these came in black.

> 3 daySomewhat quiet. Came with screws, anti-vibration mounts, an extension cable, a splitter, and a noise reduction cable.

> 3 dayRefroidit très efficacement mon boîtier (Streacom F12C) même à très faible vitesse (300 rpm), à laquelle il est quasiment inaudible à 20 cm. Le ventilateur est accompagnée dune myriade daccessoires fort utiles : rallonge, dédoubleur (y) pour brancher deux ventilateurs sur une même fiche, pour ne citer que les plus utiles.

> 3 dayIch benutze den Noctua NF-S12A PWM Lüfter als Gehäuselüfter, wofür er auch gedacht ist, hinter meinem CPU Lüfter als Rear-Exhaust. Der Anschluss erfolgte natürlich per 4-Pin Stecker und im BIOS im PWM Modus (wichtig, dies muss ausgewählt werden).

Greater than one weekPreso insieme ad altre 4 ventole Noctua per areare il mio pc. Temperature abbattute e molto silenzioso a regimi minimi, ovvio che poi facendoli partire a pieno regime tutti e 7 presenti nel case questo sembra un elicottero. Comunque tenendo sempre al minimo vado alla grande ed é freddo a sufficienza. La confezione denota una qualitá enormemente superiore alla media di altri prodotti. Eccezionale!

Greater than one week噂の静音性を期待したのですが、その辺のファンとあまり変わりのない普通のファンですね。
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.
