> 3 dayQuiet fans and efficient. I dont know what else to add besides the fact that they are quiet, the color is hit or miss, and they are efficient.

> 3 dayThis NF F12 replaces 8+ year old NF P12s that are still working fine. Got the new focused flow fans to change out the old ones, mostly because theyre quieter. Perfect replacement for Corsair Hydro coolers. A+

> 3 dayNoctua non ha bisogno di presentazioni. E molto silenziosa ed adatta soprattutto per radiatori per impianti a liquido, non per areare il case ( ne esistono altre più adatte allo scopo e con rotazione e flussi daria diversi oltre che meno care).

> 3 dayAnother excellent product shipped and received. This is my fourth Nocuta case or cooler fan Ive purchased, and I will replace other fans in my system with these over time. Great Product!

> 3 dayBought fan for future install so out of return window now by the time I attempted to use it. Cut off the connector with intention of using black wire as ground and yellow wire as positive and wire into on off switch. Ignore other wires. When fan connected accordingly it doesnt activate. Same steps with another fan (sickle flow 120) I bought works fine.

> 3 dayIm a bit of a fan nut. I bought this one because of all the great reviews and because of the stator vanes in the design. If I had seen the very low wattage (0.6) of the fan, I would have passed on it. I also bought a Delta 1.5 amp/ 18 watt 120mm server fan that also has stator vanes. The Delta is a monster but can be easily tamed by giving it 5 or 7 volts. It might even run on 3 volts but I havent tried that yet. All those voltages are easily available from any PC power supply, google it if you dont believe. At 3,5 or 7 volts, the Delta is 4.5 watts, 7.5 watts or 10.5 watts. Not easily adjustable tho, I havent found a way to switch the wires to get 3 speeds with a switch. ***** Update ***** I tested the Delta monster and found that as impressive as it is, its not needed. Its much easier to use good PWM fans - see update below.
Teaming up eleven stator guide vanes with a specially conceived seven blade impeller, the NF-F12’s Focused Flow system creates outstanding static pressure and focuses the airflow for superior performance on heatsinks and radiators. At the same time, a wide range of advanced aerodynamic design measures, second generation SSO-Bearing and Noctua’s new, custom designed PWM IC for fully automatic control assures astounding quietness of operation. The NF-F12 comes with modular cabling, integrated anti-vibration pads and two speed settings for full flexibility. Its commanding performance, exhaustive set of features and Noctua’s trusted premium quality make it an elite choice for use on air coolers, radiators and other pressure demanding applications.
Focused Flow frame
Designed 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.

Heptaperf ImpellerCustom designed for the new Focused Flow frame and to work in tandem with the eleven stator guide vanes, the NF-F12"s seven blade Heptaperf impeller has been carefully optimised to achieve a perfect balance between power and quietness. |
SSO2 bearingThe NF-F12 is the first fan to 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. |
Scope of Delivery
|
Integrated anti-vibration pads
Integrated 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.
