> 3 dayI have bought many computer casings and computer casing cooler fans over the last 30 years. Noctua is the most quiet cooler fan I have ever purchased. I have install three 120mm fans in my little beast of a computer HAF-XB computer case and it is quiet. If you want quietness, try NOCTUA it the best. It probably cost twice the amount you pay for a standard fan cooler, it keeps the computer case cool and gets the job done.

> 3 dayBin mit dem Lüfter vollauf zufrieden. Er ist im Gehäuse nicht zu hören und erzeugt einen guten Luftdurchsatz.Ist empfehlenswert.Er wird einwandfrei vom Motherboard geregelt.

> 3 dayQuiet, solid construction. I use these exclusively for all my 120mm case fans.

> 3 dayExcellent quality as with all the Noctua products Ive used, almost silent in my PC, and the temperatures are just as good as they were with the much noisier stock case fans. These are a bit expensive but theyre worth it if you want a quiet computer. These are even quieter than I expected. The hard drives are now the noisiest part of my PC.

> 3 dayVentola molto silenziosa, non fa moltissimi giri (Max inferiore a 2000) ma con quel poco che estrae mi ha egregiamente risolto il problema di surriscaldamento nel case Antec miniitx con i7-4790k e gtx 960 strix, che raggiungeva temperature elevatissime quasi da non riuscire a toccare la parte esterna al case.

> 3 daytrès bon ventilateur, rien à redire. très silencieux, on ne lentend tout simplement pas. Possibilité de choisir la vitesse (connecteur 3 pin). Excellente marque, à recommander.

> 3 dayabsolute best fans that I have ever used. Good air flow and still extremely quiet for the air flow that they provide.
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.
