    The quality is great, comes with extension cables, screw, etc. Love the fans they are quiet but not crazy about the color. Ive never seen any home built computer where this color would fit in (If its visible).

    These are really great fans. Quiet, and plenty of airflow. 4-pin for automatic control if your motherboard supports that. They spin down pretty low, under 300 rpm at which point they are virtually silent.

    Jai acheté deux Noctua NF-S12A PWM 120mm pour remplacer les ventilateurs de mon boitier Cooler Master Silencio 450, un à lavant, lautre à larrière du boitier. Javoue quau début jétais sceptique quant au gain sonore, et puis la couleur ... bof-bof. Javais tort ! Branchés sur une carte mère Asus Prime H270-Pro et contrôlés par le programme Fan Xpert 4, ces ventilateurs sont quasi-inaudibles. Ils tournent généralement aux alentours de 240 rpm (voire sont à larrêt avec la sélection Arrêt Automatique de Fan Xpert) pour la plupart des applications bureautiques. Même à pleine vitesse (1300 rpm) le bruit est supportable et facilement couvert par un casque audio.

    Buen caudal de aire. A máxima velocidad es muy silencioso y como es de velocidad variable (PWN, 4 pins) y nunca va a tope, tienes que mirarlo para saber si gira, porque no lo oyes. Viene con gomas antivibración, tornillos y topes de sujeción y varios prolongadores del cable para que no tengas problemas al conectarlo.

    Not quite what I was expecting. I hear a lot about Noctua, they are held in real high esteem among PC builders and enthusiasts alike. So it was a clear choice at the time of purchase. I bought it to replace the stock fan on my Cooler Master Hyper 212 EVO, but I was surprised to discover that this fan just isnt powerful enough to cool my i7-3770K at stock clock. I had to change the speed of this fan in the BIOS to 80% just to keep my CPU at an average of 28C to 30C. Decent fan, but not really meant for CPU cooling.

    As expected from Noctua, the fan moves a lot of air with hardly a whisper.

    Très bon produit, silencieux, facile à installer et produit un important courant dair pour ventiler mon boîtier. Pas donné, mais jespère bien le garder de nombreuses années.

NF-S12A PWM HeaderNF-S12A PWM Header

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 pads

Integrated 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 bearing

The 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 Microstructures

With 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

  • NA-RC7 Low-Noise Adaptor (L.N.A)
  • NA-YC1 4-pin PWM y-cable
  • NA-EC1 30cm extension cable
  • 4x NA-AV1 anti-vibration mounts
  • Fan screws

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.
