> 3 dayWith regard to the Noctua NF-S12B redux-1200 PWM fan: They are relatively inexpensive but (to me) are much noisier than the spec indicates. Late at night or when there is little ambient noise, they can be easily heard when spinning up to handle a temp increase (via PWM). The elevated sound is a smooth whoosh -- not tremendously bothersome but still very noticeable.

> 3 dayThese fans are quiet and I love it. I removed my old case fans because they were noisy and these new fans do not disappoint. Highly recommend if you want some quiet fans.

> 3 dayBought 3 of these for my PC build bases off positive feedback I read. Glad I purchased them because these fans are FANTASTIC. You hardly hear them & keep my machine cooled. Highly recommend this product & manufacturer.

Greater than one weekcant hear it over the noise of the stock cpu cooler.

> 3 dayIve used the Be Quiet fans on several builds and these are just better. They feel more substantial and even at higher RPMs their noise is minimal. They also dont seem to have those ultrasonic or subsonic frequencies cheaper fans suffer from. I sit next to this computer all day long and Im very happy that I used these.

> 3 dayNoctua recommends the 12B for case cooling on their website while it recommends the P-12 for radiator cooling, despite the P-12 having 12 more CFM at max RPMs. So I got my hands on an equal number of P-12 and S12Bs (this model) and outfitted a Mesify C (a very typical mid-range case) with them to see how it would cool. The testing methodology was simple: ambient, miduse, and aida64 full throttle. In all circumstances, the P-12 performed better by at least 3 degrees. The Aida64 screen shots are attached, and it shows that an overclocked processors cores are cooled at almost four degrees better by P-12s.

Greater than one weekI reviewed all the rating and gave these a shot; replaced my corsair fans (d/t incredible noise). These fans are astoundingly quiet but have zero power. Checked the direction of the airflow and yes, they are all setup correctly. However, despite tweaking my fan controls, they still give very little power/airflow.

Designed for efficient case ventilationTypical PC case ventilation applications require high airflow but only medium static pressure. The NF-S12B has been specifically designed for high airflow efficiency and low noise in order to provide best results in these so called low impedance applications . |
SSO-BearingCombining the proven concept of hydrodynamic bearing with an additional magnet that supports the self-stabilisation of the rotor axis, Noctua"s time-tested technology has become synonymous with supremely quiet operation and exceptional long-term stability. |
Bevelled Blade TipsReducing critical rotor stator interaction, Bevelled Blade Tips permit to combine extended leading edges and a higher blade surface area with quieter operation and thus form a cornerstone of the fan"s outstanding efficiency. |
Colour-customisable with NA-SAVP1 anti-vibration padsThe fan’s frame can be outfitted with Noctua’s chromax line NA-SAVP1 anti-vibration pads. Available in black, red, blue, white, green and yellow, these pads not only damp minute vibrations but also allow the fan to be colour-customised in order to coordinate it with popular build colour schemes! |
Streamlined Redux Edition
The redux product line reissues some of Noctua"s most popular, award-winning models by presenting them in streamlined, accessibly priced packages. All redux edition products are industry proven, time-tested models that helped to found Noctua"s reputation as a first-tier supplier of premium grade low noise cooling equipment.
