Greater than one weekMuy silencioso y de calidad como cabia esperar. No hago mediciones, pero si noto un buen flujo de aire y practicamente ni se oye

Greater than one weekLove these fans. Noctura is my favorite fan company now and I will always buy these they with great and helped lower the temp in my pc by a large amount.

> 3 dayThese fans pump a lot of air and are nice and quiet. I cant hear it at all at full plast. Expensive, but worth it. Some people think the brown/beige is ugly, but I love how different it is from most tech stuff.

> 3 dayDiese Gehäuselüfter ersetzen die beim Gehäuse mitgelieferten und relativ lauten Lüfter. Ich habe zwei Stück verbaut und es ist Ruhe im Gehäuse. Die Laufeigenschaften sind prima. Aber das ist eigentlich klar. Es ist ein Noctua.

> 3 daycant really complain much except the rubber mounting pins are hard to put it in. but if you have a knife, you can cut bit of meat out of that rubber pin to make it a bit easier to put through the mount holes. not a big deal.

Empirical experience
> 3 dayWhisper quiet. Cant tell if PC is on sometimes. Did not use low rpm adapter.Replaced 3 Antec 1600 RPM 56 CFM basic fans.

> 3 dayQualità elevata come da standard Noctua. Utilizzata per immettere aria in un case Cooler Master Gladiator 600. Ricca dotazione che comprende viti classiche e in gomma antirumore, prolunga, sdoppiatore di uscita a 4 pin e Ultra-Low-Noise Adaptor che riduce velocità e rumore della ventola. Molto silenziose.
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.
