Noctua NF-S12A PWM, Premium Quiet Fan, 4-Pin (120mm, Brown)

I purchased these fans to replace two cooler master fans that seemed to be giving out. I have a corsair 300 r case and my old fans which were on the side panel were making a very annoying noise that I could hear from other rooms. I tried giving them some TLC but it didnt help much. I got fed up having to hear that so I decided to try these noctua fans. They were super easy to install and now the noise is GONE. I dont know if I necessarily needed to go with these fans, maybe others wouldve been fine for noise as well, but these are extremely quiet. I dont really do any heavy over-clocking or anything crazy so my need for cooling may not be the same as other people. That being said, I did notice a drop in temperature after installing these fans, so Im assuming theyre doing their job well. Though at this point I really only care that theyre extremely quiet (for emphasis).

They made my system perfectly silent. I can’t hear the fans at all even if I go really close to my computer. My temps have dropped about 7-10°C so that’s an improvement. I’m happy with them and they are worth the price.

Noctua fans are well known by builders as being one of the go-to choices for quiet performance. From CPU coolers, to CPU fans (static), to case fans (air flow), and hybrids in between, Noctua delivers. I have used Noctua 120mm, 140mm, 40mm, and 92mm fans for various projects. Ive used 120mm/140mm fans on cases and CPUs. Ive used their 40mm fans on 3D Printers and South Bridge Chipsets (like the Intel DX58SO motherboard). The 92mm I use on a Odroid cloudshell 2. In all cases, the fans move lots of air (or static pressure), maintaining cool temperatures and quiet operation. This particular fan, the NF-S12A PWM 4-pin (they also offer a 3 pin model), Noctua suggests works well as a case fan delivering a good volume of air. It comes with both screws and rubber grommets for mounting the fan (the latter for more vibration dampening over standard screw usage, but the corners of the fan are covered in a thin rubber overlay which already does a good job dampening any excess vibration so that I have never needed the grommets. I dont care for the Noctua fan colors, and if the color is also not your favorite, they do sell a gray version called redux, but it performs a little less than the regular fans and it doesnt come with mounting grommets or the extra fan speed reduction cables that come with this model. Noctua also makes a static pressure version (for CPU coolers and radiators) as well as a hybrid model that works well in any application (static vs air flow). Ive bought many of these fans, and would buy them again. In this particular case, I bought these to use on an Ultra Gladiator mid-tower case (the older model from 2007/2009). I am using one in the front, and one in the back for an older core i7-4770K machine (not overclocked). I also used a couple on a newer AMD Ryzen 5 3400G system in an Antec 900 case with 1/2 front fans using a Noctua (the other I chose an LED fan so I can tell from afar when its on), and one in the back of the case. The temperatures in all cases are well controlled by these fans, and are super quiet. Ive used Antec, Corsair, Thermaltake, Cooler Master, Deep Cool, Cryorig, and BeQuiet! and some non-name brand fans - Noctua is by far the quietest of almost all of them, and for the others, might be a close tie if not the winner...

Das Produkt wirkt hochwertig und bringt umfassendes Zubehör mit. Der Lüfter war etwas mühsam zu montieren - die Silikonpfropfen, die wahrscheinlich eine gute Lösung als Fixierung sind, benötigen halt bei der ersten Montage etwas Fingerspitzengefühl und Kraft. Der Lüfter ist in meinem PC nicht hörbar und macht seine Arbeit sehr gut.

Article conforme à la description, cest du Noctua, jamais déçu !

Buen caudal de aire y bajo nivel de ruido. Fácil instalación.

very quite - works great

Excellent

Im so pleased with this fan. The packaging and everything looks so professional. Noctua are doing a fine job. You get a lot in the box by way of extensions for existing fans and one that automatically limits the fan speed to ~900rpm to save you limiting it in the BIOS.

どちらかというと古い製品ですが、以前のnoctua 120mmファンは、
