> 3 dayI bought this fan to go along with the other one that came with the U12S cooler I had also gotten and the both of them have completely cooled my temps down and are ridiculously quiet.

> 3 dayWow these look exactly like my NF-F12 iPPC 2000 just slower. Wait what they sound the same if you run them at the same speed and have the same stupid white product code? i bought this because i though i would not look terrible in my case. Not a overpriced NF-F12 PWM with 3 sets of UNMATCHING rubber pads. And the forced extension cable? I have the option to plug it in 2cm away or 13 inches? what happen to like 4/6 inches with a optional 8/10 inch extension being common sense. Do you want it to look good or have a big fat cable connector hanging off every fan. I also got black screws in one and silver screws in the other... seriously. Do yourself the favor and just get ippc version and buy the rubber pads in the color you want, only difference is your getting a better fan for the same price. Without the green and yellow chromax pads no one wants.

Greater than one weekBought it to be the pull fan for my Noctua NH-12US. First off excellent fans, quiet, easy to install, only complaint is it only came with 4 anti-noise vibration pads, 4 of each color but should have come with 8 in my opinion.

> 3 dayAs always, I love Noctua products. My computer is now so quiet all I can hear is the water cooling pump. Fans are now totally not noticable.

> 3 dayMy observations about the Noctua NF-F12 PWM... Great quality. Quiet but not silent. Cools my gaming desktop better than cheap fans while running 300 rpm slower. ie, they push more air. The sound I do hear is much more pleasant than cheap fans ie, lower pitch. Noctua makes 3 and 4 pin in line wire adapters. available on Amazon that contain a resistor to slow the fans down about 300 rpm. Combined with a fan controller like the NZXT can really quiet your system. I will only use Noctua fans in any gaming desktops that I build in the future.

> 3 dayThe fans were a breeze to install in my system. They barely make an audible sound even when under load. Would definitely get more of these for future builds.

Swappable anti-vibration pads in 6 coloursThe NF-F12 PWM chromax.black.swap comes with 4 black, white, red, blue, green and yellow NA-AVP1 anti-vibration pads respectively. By combining the various colours with black or leaving off the pads on one side, the fan can be coordinated with most popular build colour schemes out of the box. Additional NA-SAVP1 sets for outfitting both sides in one colour can be purchased separately. |
SSO2 bearingThe chromax line fans feature 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. |
Varying Angular Distance and Vortex Control NotchesThe NF-F12"s stator guide vanes are set out in Varying Angular Distance and feature Vortex-Control Notches. Both measures help to spread the noise emission over a broader frequency spectrum and thus make the fan"s sound pattern more agreeable to the human ear. |
Focused Flow frameDesigned for pressure demanding applications such as heatsinks and radiators, the Focused Flow frame features eleven stator guide vanes that straighten, channel and focus the airflow, which allows the NF-F12 to rival the performance of conventional fans running at much faster speeds. |
Maximising colour choices, Noctua’s chromax.black.swap edition fans can be colour-customised using the included swappable anti-vibration pads as well as optional anti-vibration mounts and cables. This makes them ideal for enthusiasts looking for true premium-grade fans that can be colour-coordinated with popular build themes such as all black, black & white or black & red.
