Greater than one weekCompré dos de estos ventiladores y el cambio al instalarlos fue grandísimo. Casi no se notan y te tienes que acercar para oírlos, no me quiero ni imaginar si llego a ponerlos con las gomitas que te vienen para que suenen menos todavía. Me costó mucho ponerlas y desistí y lo instalé con tornillos, pero vamos que casi no suenan, son una maravilla. El precio es algo caro, pero vamos, lo volvería a pagar sin duda

> 3 dayPurchased this along with a 140mm model. Both were simple to unpack, install, and are whisper quiet. Temp wise there hasnt really been a negative or a positive change, but I wasnt expecting one, only the blissful silence.

> 3 dayGreat fan with enough airflow to dry your hair it can get noisy at full speed tho, but then so does a rocket trying to achieve orbit!

Greater than one weekGood price, quick shipping. Fans work exactly as described. Very quiet. Great for HTPC.

> 3 dayWhatever you do, buy this as a case fan. If you plan on using this over a heat sink or for CPU or radiator cooling please consider the NF-F12 also made by Noctua. The Black version is trash.

> 3 dayIch habe die Fractal Aspect Lüfter damit ausgetauscht und konnte eine deutliche Reduzierung der Lautstärke bei gleichbleibenden Luftdurchsatz und Druck erreichen. Der PC ist nun im normalen Gebrauch nicht mehr zu hören. Qualität und Leistung sind hier wirklich top. Der Preis dafür jedoch grenzwertig hoch.

> 3 dayEste ventilador de Noctua lo he adquirido para un miniserver Proliant, ya que su ventilador por defecto hacía mucho ruido, actualmente se ha bajado considerablemente el nivel de ruido y la temperatura se sigue manteniendo a unos niveles correctos. La presentación es muy buena y sabiendo que la marca es noctua ya sabemos que estamos comprando calidad.

> 3 dayReplaced the factory intake fan and exhaust fan with an F12 and S12 and noticed a 18dBA difference about 3 feet from my case, which is insane (about 1/4 the perceived volume). Quiet as a whisper and really easy to install.
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.
