> 3 dayVery nice fan from Noctua again! The packaging is great, and the fan itself feels extremely high quality and durable. Under normal computer use the fan is pretty much inaudible and under gaming it has a very VERY slight hum. Definitely better than the Corsair ML120 Pro fan I had before as those things were loud. My only gripe with this fan is that the cable is a bit stiff and not that long so I had to route it differently than I had originally planned. You can always buy fan extensions directly from Noctua as well and theyre relatively cheap so I wont knock off a rating for that.

> 3 dayFans are quite and the feel quality of the product is great. Only small gripe I have is the rubber caps for the fan conners. Noctua sends you six different color sets but each set only covers one side of the fan. Meaning that you would have matching rubber caps matching on one side but not the other. This doesn’t affect performance but it does affect aesthetics somewhat, which kind of stinks. Also the fan cables included with the purchases are well built and rubber braided. Overall the purchase is totally worth it.

> 3 dayThis is the fan that comes with the Noctua Chromax NH-U12S. I bought a second one for a push/pull configuration and it brought my CPU temps down by 12° Celsius in AIDA64. These fans are nearly inaudible. These are top quality and worth every penny. Just be sure to buy extra anti vibration pads as the fan only comes with four of each color.

> 3 dayThey move plenty of air and are super silent!! The only negative is the large sticker on the one side (the sticker just says Chromax and has some random info on it) thats also not the size of a usual fan sticker so I cant just replace it with other stickers

Topped off with Noctua’s trusted premium-grade SSO2 bearing and more than 150,000 hours MTTF, the NF-F12 PWM chromax.black.swap is the perfect choice for all users who value individual, focused build aesthetics just as much as class-leading quality and performance.

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.
