    Refroidit très efficacement mon boîtier (Streacom F12C) même à très faible vitesse (300 rpm), à laquelle il est quasiment inaudible à 20 cm. Le ventilateur est accompagnée dune myriade daccessoires fort utiles : rallonge, dédoubleur (y) pour brancher deux ventilateurs sur une même fiche, pour ne citer que les plus utiles.

    This is an amazing fan - I used two to replace both of my Cooler Master Sickleflow 120mms in my V6 GT CPU fan - noticeably quieter, or shall I say - I cant really hear them in my case like I used to. Sometimes I wonder if my computer is even on...

    Well packed, good accessories and very quiet

    As described, it is VERY quiet (especially when compared to the expired chassis fan that I replaced with it), and it moves a lot of air---no way to measure it scientifically, but the deflecting paper test suggests that the claimed CFM rating is probably close (obviously it will differ depending on the differential in static pressures on either side of the fan). Anyhow, it works for me.

    Je suis un fidèle de Noctua et je suis jamais déçu. L’emballage est soigné et le produit de qualité. Les raccordements en plus dans la boîte pour le prix sont vraiment le bien venu. Le système de fixation silencieux avec une petite pince est facile dinstallation et très pratique. Le ventilateur ne fait aucun bruit. Sur ma Hero VIII, le produit est fidèle au commande de tour par minute quon lui demande.

    Excellent product. I do several PC builds. All fans purchased going forward will be Noctua.

    Good and very silent case fan, which I control throug the fan control utility of my Asrock motherboard based on the motherboard temperature sensor. I installed the silencer, which lowers the maximum fan speed. The fan is running at 400-800 RPM, the temperature of my Samsung EVO970 is lowered by 17 degrees Celsius from 62 to 45. I mounted the fan in a ML-06E mini PC Silverstone case, replacing the noisy Silverstone 15 mm fan.

    Mueve muchísimo aire. Configurando bien la gráfica de uso de PWM no te enteras de que están girando. Tengo uno metiendo y otro sacando aire y es una barbaridad lo que sale. Me han bajado la temperatura general unos 5°.

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.
