> 3 dayNear silent performance and good airflow. Whilst not the cheapest, it is worth money.

> 3 dayNoctua has a reputation of high quality products and this fan is no exception. Suffice to say, its not just that they built a fan that works well and is very quiet but the extra cables, adapters and mounting options take a fan that appears to be overpriced and marries quality and function with value.

> 3 dayIf you want the best cooling for your rig, Noctua is the product; both in cooling ability and very very low noise. I installed 7 of them in my new PC build, even replacing the fans that came with case. Designed in Austria, what more do you need to know. I take their odd color as distinction for quality.

> 3 dayNe ho comprate due, per utilizzarle sul dissipatore (un vecchio Corsair A70 le cui ventole facevano un casino pazzesco). Sono PWM, collegate alla scheda madre, sono impostabili da bios o via software direttamente su Windows (7). Sono inudibili fino a 1000 rpm. Già a un terzo dei giri i gradi della Cpu sono gli stessi che aveva con le vecchie ventole (rumorose e a 1600 rpm fisse). Mandate al massimo si sentono, ma difficilmente ne avrò necessità. Consigliatissime.

> 3 dayIts Noctua... 6 year warranty. I consider this an investment (considering the expense). Lets hope it lives up to its reputation. Thus far, running quiet and cool. Last fans I purchased for my CPU heat sink did not like my mainboard. For some reason, some ASUS mainboards dont like some Corsair fans and do not even recognize their existence. These Noctua PWM fans solved that problem with ease and, for the benefit of others, let me state that they are a SUPERB replacement for the stock fans on the CM HYPER 212 EVO. Cheers, Noctua!

> 3 dayAwesome as expected. They can be lowered to whisper-quiet levels with out turning off, and they still push a great amount of air for a radiator setup. Set 3 of them to 1000rpm in Speedfan and they are only barely audible from 2-3 feet away, yet still keep cpu temps within 5 degrees Celsius of my previous 3+3 fan setup that ran way louder and spun faster

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.
