> 3 dayI reserve 5 stars for truly stellar products. I give 4 stars to great products. THIS THING IS QUIET!!! I replaced the Antec Tricool 120mm fan in my P183 case. No comparison.

Greater than one weekPurchased 4 of these almost 5 years ago: still perfectly functional and super quiet as you would expect from Noctua. Upgrading my system soon and definitely transferring them into a new case.

> 3 dayhatte mir mehr erhofft, bei niedrigen Umdrehungszahlen gibt es wie immer unangenehme wenn auch leise Geräusche obwohl ja neue Technik fürs Lager, neues Lüfterraddesign, zusätzlich Gummi-Ecken zu den schon bekannten Gummipöppel zur Aufhängungsentkoppelung

> 3 dayIts not receiving 5 stars only because the first one I received was DOA. However, its receiving 4 stars because the actions that followed were great by both Amazon and Noctua. The first fan arrived DOA so I immediately submitted a return which was handled by Amazon great as usual. Noctua sent me a message saying they were shipping another fan to me right away (not even waiting for their DOA fan to be returned first) which I thought was very nice of them. Within a few days, I received a new fan that works and they received the DOA product back... very seamless and efficient.

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.
