> 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 use these fans on both my HTPCs. They are super silent and come with all the 4 pin cables needed for any successful installation. These are the best to use if you are want fan silence.

> 3 dayEsteticamente non saranno al livello di altri prodotti, ma sono silenziose e fanno benissimo il lo ro lavoro.

> 3 dayThey 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.

> 3 dayGreat fans, but Id prefer if I could buy them without all the packaging. Its nice and all, but it contains a load of plastic that goes in the bin.

> 3 dayThere are extremely quiet Case Fans especially with the included low noise adapter, must admit little bit on the expensive side but if your looking for quality its right here
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.
