Noctua NF-S12A FLX, Premium Quiet Fan, 3-Pin (120mm, Brown)

Great Product!

Perfect for me. I use this fan for my Hyper 212 in a pull push configuration. Nice and a quiet and it blows out a decent amount of air. I have had mine for a little over a year now and have not had any noise issues from the bearings yet. The little rubber pins that come with it are pretty cool as well. Very useful if your putting this fan against the case to prevent vibration noises. A great fan with a lot of extras in the box.

Just got these and they are wonderfully quiet. I got two fans to replace the two loud fans that I had already. While I really like how quiet it is, I have notice some changes in temps. To be fair, I put on the Low-Noise adapter on it so it isnt running at the full RPMs it can be. That being said Im only seeing 3-4 degrees higher overall while being nearly silent at about 800 RPMs while my other fans that I replaced were extremely loud and ran at 1500-1600 RPMs. I will take that ratio and If I really get fed up with the 3-4 degrees temp difference I will take off those adapters. The overall temps for the CPU is at the high end under moderate load 40-45 degrees Celsius. A lot of temp change in the CPU comes from the hot graphics card right under the CPU. This is with i7-2600K 3.4Ghz CPU and a Radeon HD 6950 video card (this card runs really hot, even under light/idle use).

Excellent case fan. Longest lasting brand I have used.

arrived early and working just fine....thxs

Now I know why everyone says Nocuta fans are the top of the line for air cooling. Absolutely amazing fans, nearly silent, move a ton of air, and easy to install. 5 stars - will buy more Nocuta poop colored fans in the future.

Great cooling fan, though I have yet to see just how long it actually lasts, but based on the built quality (and the six year warranty), I dont expect longevity to be an issue. The fan is quiet and stable with little vibration. It comes with two resistors that plug in-line to reduce the fan speed if needed, a long extension connector, a 4-pin Molex connector, and both screw and rubber mounts. Unfortunately, these fans are a tad expensive, making them difficult to use on a regular basis. Also, I dont care for the over-the-top packaging. How about some bulk versions and reducing the price on these?

Im using this as a bedside fan with the pwm knob controller. I want to be able to still hear things going on outside and its quiet enough for that. If you crank it up full RPM, you can hear it a bit as a white noise but its still a lot quieter than any 3 speed fan Ive been able to find. Below maybe 70%, you pretty much cant hear it. My main problem is that its kind of ugly to sit on a nightstand.

Unfortunately, having just put 3 of these in my chassis, I am finding they are louder than my old fans which were much less expensive, and all while moving notably less air. Adding the low-noise wire adapter gets them to about the same noise level as my old fans while adding a very high pitched faint electrical whine. I can barely feel them pulling air across my water cooler using those adapters and see cpu temps averaging 9c higher on my cpu. One of them also randomly rattles with a sound like a bad bearing, even though theyve been running for just over an hour now. I am hoping it clears up but as I type this review I can hear it spending more and more time rattling.

They are Noctuas. If you are looking at these fans, then you already know that Noctuas are pretty much the best PC fans money can buy. They are well known for their build quality, quiet operation, and poor aesthetics. I personally like how they look. They are unique in their own way.
