> 3 dayAfter receiving this on Monday I must say Im extremely impressed about how quite the fan is and it keeps my pc cool about the same as my old fan except its more quite... The only issue I have with is the y splitter cable... One of the 4 pin connector in the y splitter cable is missing a pin right in the middle essentially making it a 3 pin... so its like 2 pins, blank and pin.... I will atach a picture to show below

> 3 dayIve owned Noctua fans in the past and I was very pleased to see that their quality and attention to detail is still second to none.

Greater than one weekOh, wow. For years I have been dealing with computer noise because I thought it was unavoidable, but this little fan proved me wrong. swapped out the radiator fan and another case fan with this and another Noctua product, and I cant hear either of them.

> 3 dayNoctua té diversos models i cal mirar bé lús que se li pretén donar a la seva web. Els hi ha per flux lliure (com aquest) i per flux més restringit més indicat per posar ben a prop davant la part a refrigerar (el radiador de la CPU o bé el radiador per refredar el líquid refrigerant de la CPU). Jo vaig posar aquest a la part superior de la caixa per treure aire (no hi ha res que entorpeixi el flux daire) i el NF-F12 PWM en una entrada a la caixa ja que just darrera hi ha un bon feix de cables i abans un filtre anti-pols,i volia una mica més de pressió per assegurar. Hi ha un altre model que encara dóna més pressió i que seria lindicat per posar davant un radiador o disipador de calor del líquid refrigerant. Ah, la denominació PWM indica que són ventiladors les RPM de les quals es poden controlar des de la placa base, altrament van a RPM fixes.

> 3 dayit works better than the corsair one i had and is so quite i will be buying more

> 3 dayEtwas schwierige Montage der noise adapter, aber dass ist vom gehäuse abhängig. Die Qualität der lüfter ist beeindruckend. Durch etwas andere Anordnung ist es im cooltek g3 gehäuse wesentlich kühler. Die lüfter laufen deutlich leiser und bauen wesentlich mehr Druck auf. Die lüfter sind ihr Geld wert.

> 3 dayI first used Noctua fans for some home servers about 15 years ago. I just used these to replace my case fans on a gaming PC. They are near silent and my temp monitors at around 25% lower than before. I have quite a quiet heat sink fan but now it sounds like a routemaster bus in comparison. Now need to buy a Noctua heat sink.
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.
