> 3 dayThe fan comes with plenty of 4 pin wire extension but wtf the 4 metal screws are too big and cant get through the holes on the fan ( luckily I can re-use the long screws from my old fan otherwise I will have to return it).

> 3 dayI had heard good things about these fans, so ha to try it out. My PC is in a enclosure in my desk and so needs to push air out the rear port. This thing does that extremely well, and with absolutely no sound. My only complaint is the rubber vibration free mounts need to be pulled and i couldnt reach the interior ones, so had to use the screws. Even with them, no vibration noise at all. Would easily buy again, and recommend to all my friends building PCs.

Greater than one weekThis fan is so quiet, the one that came with my case was quite noisy and I was recommended Noctua by a friend. Peace at last.

Greater than one weekNoctua e basta, si riesce solo a sentire laria sulle mani, il rumore è talmente fastidioso (scherzo!) che non so se è in funzione oppure no.

> 3 dayDer Lüfter arbeitet in meinem Xigmatek Nebula C Mini-ITX Cube als Gehäuselüfter. Zusammen mit dem Mainboard ASUS H110I-PLUS D3 und dessen Lüftersteuerung ist der HTPC nahezu geräuschlos. Super Verarbeitung und jede Menge Zubehör liegt dem extrem wertigen Lüfter bei. Ich kann den Lüfter uneingeschränkt empfehlen.

> 3 dayGot it for my second intake fan as my case came with only two fans. Although some say this fan is better for exhaust, it works fine as intake too. I will slowly swap out other two case fans with noctua fans in the future. The extension cable came in handy when routing my wire through back of my case.

> 3 dayNot a high-flow fan but works very well at extremely low noise output to pull air out of the case. Good for low-wattage nearly silent applications.
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.
