> 24 hourSilencioso y muy bueno, mueve mucho aire con poco ruido, sólo se oye el movimiento del aire a través. A velocidad máxima se oye un poco, pero son 1300 revoluciones. Sigue siendo ruido de aire, nada mecánico. Se oye mucho menos que el SP 120 incluido con la corsair 400c que tengo.

> 24 hourI had fans on my raditor h100i v2 with speed 2300rpm and noise level 40db i replaced them with two of them and i have the same cooling performance with lower noise. This fans have the half rpm but the air flow is almost the same. Worth the upgrade.

> 24 hourThis is a great fan with a lot of extras in the package. Its essentially silent, even without the quiet mode adapter. I recommend replacing all your case fans with these. However, the color scheme is pretty awful.

> 24 hourAs always, great Noctua quality. Their products are a bit expensive, but very much worth it! Really the only downside is the colours, if you have a themed PC build. My case doenst have a window, so I dont really care about the colour scheme.

> 24 hourpurtroppo da un fans della prima ora di Noctua, questa NF-S12A PWM mi ha deluso, confezione ottima, in mano il prodotto da una sensazione di solidità, ma confrontata in contemporanea con altro fan Svizzero, non regge il confronto: voltaggio richiesto di alimentazione in start piu alto in confronto allo svizzero,ma numero di giri a max velocità inferiore (parliamo di ventole entrambe dichiarate di 1200 giri max) meno portata di flusso daria e peggio distribuito (spinge nella circonferenza esterna più che un uniforme flusso al centro, non buona per radiatori a liquido), meno rumorosa ma di poco (siamo comunque per entrambe a livelli allinterno del case praticamente inudibili ! ) del concorrente svizzero considerando che questultimo fa più giri e la portata daria e notevolmente superiore e meglio distribuita, cavo di alimentazione corto, lungo nellaltra con connettore per estensione pwm in serie già crimpato assieme, MA a parte il prezzo doppio della Noctua in oggetto rispetto al concorrente, la cosa piu GRAVE ! secondo me, cosa che mi ha veramente stupito per Noctua, è che, tenendo in mano la Noctua con 2 dita su un angolo, le vibrazioni avvertibili sono notevoli indicando un GRAVE scompenso di equilibrio nel fan, facendo lo stesso con il concorrente, vibrazioni totalmente assenti !!!....quindi:

> 24 hourSilencieux et efficace. Cest du Noctua
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.
