    Efficace et très agréable pour ventiler un boitier, en particulier en push/pull. Excellent rapport qualité/prix comparé au Noctua NF-A12x25 PWM qui est meilleur mais bien plus cher.

    Excellent ventilateur, je lai monté en extraction sur mon ventirad et il est inaudible à moins de pousser vraiment le CPU et donc la vitesse de rotation.

    Instantly silienced my loud machine. It comes with these rubber silencer pegs too but I couldnt figure out how to use them.

    I am using the Noctua NF-S12A (4-pin) fan as a single exhaust fan with no additional case fans. I replaced an Antec Silent variable speed fan that came with my case when the bearings started to go. I thought Antec fan was quiet but the Noctua NF-S12A is essentially silent when running idle add pushes a lot of air. The Noctua NF-S12A fan is a little pricey but this fan is exceptional. The fan comes with rubber anti-vibration connectors, an extension cable, a y-extension cable and a low noise adapter cable (has a resistor to slow fan speed down. I have the case mounted under the desk and even without using the low noise adapter or the anti-vibrations connectors, the fan is silent. I would highly recommend this fan for anyone concerned about noise in small shared spaces.

    Io pensavo che pale così piccole, fossero equivalenti ad una ventola rumorosa... mai mi sono così sbagliato: silenziosissima ed un flusso daria pari a quello di una ventola di pari dimensioni (120x120), ma molto più rumorosa. È vero, la pressione dellaria non è estrema, ma è più che sufficiente per mantenere laria del case bella fresca. Assolutamente consigliata per il case.

    These fans are top of the line. The only issue is the color. Works great and is very quiet. Have been a customer for years. I will use them anytime I need to add a fan or replace the cheat ones put in most systems.

    Contacted Noctua about about my new fan and what appeared to be a quality control failure from the factory. They replied with excuses which were not helpful and certainly didnt resolve anything. When I replied asking them to replace the fan they never responded. So, if you have a problem with your Noctua product, dont count on them being helpful or honoring their warranty. They obviously try to increase sales by offering a long warranty but its utterly meaningless if they just ignore customers who actually request a replacement. Furthermore, Ive done some checking and there are other complaints about their bad (even rude and disrespectful) customer service. Based on my experience with this Noctua fan purchase, I would not recommend it specifically or the brand generally.

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.
