    Excellent quality as with all the Noctua products Ive used, almost silent in my PC, and the temperatures are just as good as they were with the much noisier stock case fans. These are a bit expensive but theyre worth it if you want a quiet computer. These are even quieter than I expected. The hard drives are now the noisiest part of my PC.

    Love all Noctua fans! They push a lot of air and can still be silent when needed.

    Funciona perfectamente, apenas hace ruido, un color un poco soso.

    Excellent product. Package includes extension and Y cables and a six-year warranty. Very nice touch.

    The small additional cost for this high-quality fan is worth it. Its the quietest fan Ive ever experienced, and it comes with plenty of cables, and mounts quickly and easily. Even though its practically silent, it seems to move more air than its far noisier predecessor. Its not the prettiest fan on the market by any means - the brown and beige will clash with a lot of case interiors - but I plan on replacing all four of my case fans with Noctuas.

    This fan can seem very underwhelming under certain applications. Max RPM is relatively low and the blades are not aggressively curved to cut through air. This fan shines where there are no obstructions. Use it where there is no impedance in front or behind the fan.

    Fantastic fans. I think my results may be a little extreme but my setup was 3 apevia case fans in the front, 1 mastercooler 120mm AIO on i7 9700k. The 2 mastercooler fans that came with the AIO were push/pull config on the rear of case. I added 2 of these Noctua fans one on top for exhaust and one on bottom for intake and my cpu is 15 degrees cooler now while gaming. My GPU never gets hot so Im not sure the improvement it made for it.

NF-S12A PWM HeaderNF-S12A PWM Header

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 pads

Integrated 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 bearing

The 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 Microstructures

With 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

  • NA-RC7 Low-Noise Adaptor (L.N.A)
  • NA-YC1 4-pin PWM y-cable
  • NA-EC1 30cm extension cable
  • 4x NA-AV1 anti-vibration mounts
  • Fan screws

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.
