> 3 dayI bought this to replace my dying exhaust fan. This thing pushes air through it like no other. Super quiet, super easy to install whether you use the screws or screwless option.

> 3 dayThe rubber and the cable are really tanken care of. Package comes with many extra cables like Y split, cable extension, and the LNA.

> 3 dayThis is a great air-flow focused exhaust fan that has a reasonable static pressure. I use one as my rear exhaust fan, and it moves a ton of air. The build quality is top-notch. The one I received was the made in China version, but I cant tell the difference between it and a made in Taiwan NF-A12x15. I think to be guaranteed a 120mm Noctua MIT, youll need to upgrade to the NF-A12x25. Thats undoubtedly an awesome fan, but for 50% more money, Id rather buy one NF-S12A (for exhaust) and two NF-A14s (for intake) than two NF-A12x25 (one each for intake and exhaust).

> 3 dayWhen I put my ear to the front of my case, I can barely hear them. I hear air moving, not the fans.

> 3 dayExcellent fan. I installed two of these in my mid-tower cabinet back. Yd the power cables together and connected to a fan power output I installed at the back of the computer. Sucks air out from the front through two grills I installed with 120mm Silverstone filters.Works great.
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.
