Greater than one weekFor the longest time I had an INFURIATING issue with my old case fans-- they would sort of resonate with the steel body of my case to produce the most annoying humming sound. It could be dampened to some extent by placing weights on the case, but it never actually went away.

Greater than one weekQuiet, solid construction. I use these exclusively for all my 120mm case fans.

> 3 dayInstruction on how to install the vibration dampeners could have been a little clearer but otherwise exceptional product.

> 3 dayThis fan is probably the best 120mm fan Ive ever used. Max speed of 1200rpm doesnt sound like much, but this does more than my stock 120mm fans that ran at 2000rpm, and its way quieter. I need oomph out of the cooling system, so Im not even using the Low Power or Ultra Low Power adapters, but even without them the fan is whisper quiet.

> 3 dayI first used Noctua fans for some home servers about 15 years ago. I just used these to replace my case fans on a gaming PC. They are near silent and my temp monitors at around 25% lower than before. I have quite a quiet heat sink fan but now it sounds like a routemaster bus in comparison. Now need to buy a Noctua heat sink.

> 3 dayGreat product, worth every penny. Comes in a beautiful box with many extra connecting cables and special soft mounting parts to absolutely eliminate any noise transfer.
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.
