    Noctua sempre al Top. Acquistata per muovere piú aria nel mio case NZXT H440 visto che ho inserito un ulteriore harddisk che, a causa della sua posizione, tende a tappare le 3 ventole frontali montate nel case

    This fan is great! It runs silent, moves a good amount of air, and has good static pressure (which is great as I have this in front of my radiator). Ive seen people complain about the color scheme, white and maroon will not match with any other components Ive seen. But I really dont care about the look (windowless case) as long as it runs well. And boy does this baby run smooth.

    Silent, easy to install.

    Honestly there is no better PC case fan for reliability and noise levels. Ive had three of these as case fans for years and something similar on my CPU cooler. I bought this extra one because my case has a filter at the bottom and I thought I might as well use it.

    Expensive but MTBF v long. Build quality sweet

    This fan is perfect for use as an exhaust fan because of its low noise and high airflow. However, it is not good for filtered intakes due to its very low static pressure. Something like the NF-A12x25(120mm) or the NF-A14(140mm) is a better choice for intakes. I am personally not a fan of the included rubber mounting pins and recommend using the fan screws instead.

    Als ich in meinem PC einen neuen CPU-Kühler (NOCTUA NH-U9S plus NOCTUA NF-A9 PWM) einbaute, habe ich auch diesen Lüfter mit Low Noise Adapter eingebaut. Er sitzt vorne im Gehäuse und zieht die Luft in den PC rein und bläst sie dann an den Festplatten entlang. Alle Sensoren zeigen niedrige Werte, die Drehzahl bleibt insgesamt niedrig und zu hören ist er fast gar nicht. Alle erforderlichen Montageteile und eine sehr gute bebilderte Montageanleitung liegen bei. Insgesamt sehr empfehlenswert.

    These works so well and are so quiet that I thought I didn’t plug them in. I had to look in my cases to make sure they were spinning from how quiet they are

    Gran ventilador de 120mm, buen flujo de aire a la vez que proporciona poco ruido. Desde que conoci noctua solo compro esta marca, aunque es un poco mas cara que la competencia añorta calidad.

    Dieser Lüfter erreicht ausgezeichneten Luftdurchsatz und kann sicherlich auf einen Tower-CPU-Lüfter installiert werden. Ich hatte das auch in Betracht gezogen. Habe aber erst mal 2 Stück in einem Midi-Tower eingesetzt. Einer als In- der andere als Outtake. Zusammen mit einem Tower-Lüfter (CPU) erreichen sie im Idle gute Temperaturen. Gut, da der Midi-Tower nicht optimal für einen sehr guten Airflow ausgelegt ist. Hierfür müsste ich einen anderen Tower erwerben. Fakt ist aber, dass ich diese Lüfter bei etwa 55 - 60% Leistung (im BIOS den steigenden Temperaturen des Mainboards angepasst) laufen habe und nichts höre. Die laufen beide so leise und haben dabei einen hervorragenden Luftstrom. Das Design hat mich voll überzeugt. Hier hat Noctua echt mal wieder was ultrageiles auf den Markt geworfen. Für Silentfans definitiv eine Kaufempfehlung.

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.
