> 3 dayI have replaced all of the case fans for my wifes and my desk tops. I have used Noctua for years and have never had an issue, I just wish my power supply fans on my computers were as quiet!! Great fan, well worth the price, you will be amazed at how loud your old fans are when you switch over to this fan. I have used these on very high end gaming computers as well as mid priced work computers and am very happy with the performance.

> 3 dayI 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).

> 3 dayLe ventole della Noctua sono una garanzia. Costano di più ma ne valgono la pena. Se si vuole un ottimo prodotto puntate su questa marca.

> 3 dayAmazing! Ordered 3 of these plus the 140mm NF-A14 PWM to replace the fans in my case...built this computer in 2012. Once I had everything reconnected and fired it back up....I panicked a bit - the only fans I heard running were the CPU and PS fans...and I still had the side of the case off! Had to do a quick visual check that, Yes, the Noctua fans *were* actually running. Wow. This is my first experience with Noctua and Im blown away. Ive been building my own computers since about 2001 and these are by far the quietest fans Ive ever used. A buddy of mine recommended these and I love them! The extra connectors they supply - extension, splitter to run 2 fans off of one header, and the low noise connector, plus the rubber anti-vibration bumpers on each corner....very nice touch Noctua! Definitely worth it! You can tell from the packaging alone that these are high quality fans. Noctua is #1 on my list now...

11-06-2025Excelentes ventiladores. Pueden ser caros comparados con otras marcas pero si duda esta justificado. Viene con extensiones de cables, almohadillas anti vibración y sobre todo tienen 6 años de garantía

> 3 dayDropped my temps by 25c idle which is honestly insanity for one fan to accomplish in my opinion

> 3 dayAs always, great Noctua quality. Their products are a bit expensive, but very much worth it! Really the only downside is the colours, if you have a themed PC build. My case doenst have a window, so I dont really care about the colour scheme.
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.
