> 3 dayStupid design. I have (had) 4 of these and the latest one has a tiny cable (not even an inch) with a PWM extension. My other 3 arent like this. Ruins chances for clean cable management and aesthetics so much, Im returning the NH-U12S with extra fan and going with a different cooler.

> 3 dayHad to replace failing ID-cooling fan that came with the heat sink I bought recently, which I did anticipate. I was glad to have the excuse to get one of these. Temps are even further down, keeping things in 40c to mid 50c while gaming or constantly playing video on a 3600 when prior I was getting up into 60s even on the new heatsink+fan (I have the ID-COOLING SE-234-ARGB). Keep in mind, so much goes into your personal temperature experience, but I find this to be as claimed, the best fan out there. If there is no other noise in the room, I can hear the fan but it is drastically quieter to what I had before and as far as I can tell, seems quieter than the Corsair argb case fans when I run them at the same rpm. I would recommend using black bumpers instead of white if you think the white is going to pop any when exposed to LED light. It doesnt pop at all but Im too lazy to switch lol. Overall, I am excessively pleased with this and if I had to do it all over again, I wouldve done it like this, which is to have the ID fan start to fail after a few months and buy this as the upgrade so I can fully appreciate it. I would totally recommend this fan to any friend, family member, or internet stranger for their CPU cooling fan.

> 3 dayI originally purchase this to replace the original fan on my CM Hyper 212 Evo. At first feel, this fan feels quality. Plastic and weight is beefy and heavier. After installing the fan to the CPU Heatsink, noticed some harmonic resonance through my case. Loosen the screws solved the problem. With my FD Define R4 case, it is dead silent from 6 feel away.

> 3 dayVery pleased with everything about these fans (I ordered 4). I went with the very basic 1500 option on them and it has dropped the temps as a whole very well. I am not considering looking into the Noctua cpu cooler. Would 100 percent recommend these to anybody wanting quietness, performance, and quality.

Greater than one weekI have a Corsair H80v2 and could not stand the noise. I replaced the stock fans with these and it is much more silent now. Recommended.

> 3 dayExtremely quiet and efficient, i replaced my 120mm Corsair SP fan on my Hyper 212 Evo, and with right settings this fan can keep my i7 4770k at 35°C by itself at 250rpm and my 5 other case fans at 0 rpm. Will definitely buy more of these.

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.
