Greater than one weekInstalled on the outside of my case to waft some cooling air over my memory & mobo heat pipes. Its as quiet as all the hype would suggest. Works fine with my fan controller. Odd colours, but hey, its quiet :)

Greater than one weekEl rendimiento es tal y como se promete por la marca. El ruido inapreciable y con una placa que gestiones ventiladores PWM puedes hacer de todo. Totalmente recomendable....

> 3 dayOttima ventola da 12cm utilizzata per limmissione di aria allinterno del cabinet. Utilizzata in PWM con il controllo della velocità in base alla temperatura interna risulta essere sempre silenziosa nel suo funzionamento anche al salire dei giri. Inoltre scatola completa di numerosi accessori cavi e adattatori.

> 3 dayAmazing fans as usual. Extremely quiet. They arrive in some of the best packaging youll ever seen, especially for a fan. They are 4 pin, so if you have the proper controller they can go as low as 20% on a fan controller, instead of 40% on a non-PWM controller. This fan style is not meant for use with Radiators or bad airflow areas. But on a standard fan slot it will MOVE air. Pair these fans with the Phanteks Lux Digital Halos and you got some beautiful looking fans since they are so reflective.

> 3 dayBought this to replace a Corsair PWM fan that was rattling, after trying 3 different ones of the same model and having all of them rattle, I gave up and went with Noctua. The premium feel of this product is outstanding and they perform really well.

> 3 dayGot a couple for my case as the stock ones gave off a bit of a hum that became irritating. Not the cheapest but more than happy with the result as I find them exceptionally quiet.

> 3 dayHigh quality, very quiet. Comes will all the extra cables and adapter. Even the adapters are well done with protective shielding and heat shrink.
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.
