> 3 dayReplaced my noisy fan that came with my case. This one is whisper quiet. Its not quite as easy to install as the packaging implies but that still means it only took me five minutes. If I had needle nose pliers it would have taken two.

20-11-2024Bin mit dem Lüfter vollauf zufrieden. Er ist im Gehäuse nicht zu hören und erzeugt einen guten Luftdurchsatz.Ist empfehlenswert.Er wird einwandfrei vom Motherboard geregelt.

Greater than one weeknachdem ich viele überschwängliche Bewertungen über NOCTUA Lüfter gelesen habe (auch bei alternate.de) hatte ich hohe Erwartungen. Diese wurden leider nicht erfüllt. Im Sleep-Modus lautlos; bei Standgas deutlich hörbar.

> 3 dayThe little nubs are great, hold on place well without causing noise from vibrations. They really mean quiet, I promise and my GF can attest to that.

Greater than one weekReçu récemment pour remplacer le ventilateur de mon ventirad watercoolé Corsair. La différence est flagrante! Très silencieux, refroidit très bien mon Core i5 8400 (moins de 30° en idle). Noctua fait des merveilles avec ses ventilos.
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.
