Noctua NF-S12A PWM chromax.Black.swap, Premium Quiet Fan, 4-Pin (120mm, Black)

I have quite a collection of fans, Gentle Typoon AP-13&15, Panaflo Ultra High, Noctua iPPC 2000, EK Vardar, Sycthe Kaze. I honestly thought by the hype and decibel rating these fans would be inaudible at full speed but you will hear them for sure, they move air as advertised, theyre high flow case fans and for sure theyre quieter than high pressure fans, overall Im quite happy. I have them driven at 60% when the PC is mostly idle and ramp up during gaming, at 60% theyre silent and still moving good air. overall i do highly reccomend them, but remember these are NOT for radiators.

Noctua is the BEST. These are designed to move air in non static pressure scenarios. Most quiet fans I own....roughly 17db. Moves alot of air. And finally a noctua fan thats not ugly brown and tan.

Please avoid any cheap fan. The Noctua NF-S12A should be strongly considered and should be in every computer. The material feels nice and coming from 2x Corsair fans (37db) from their AIO cooler, the sound difference compared to the Noctua NF-S12A is significant. Consider the Noctua NF-S12A over any fan.

If you want a quiet PC fan, this is it. You get what you pay for with Noctua fan. I have eight of these inside my case, and you cant hear them at all normally.

Coupled these with a pair of Noctua NF-A20 PWM chromax.Black.swap 200x30mm fans for a new ryzen upgrade build I made, couldnt be happier. The new PC is running cool, and you can barely notice the fans. Hope they last me a long time. As you can see from the screenshot, they are easily controlled and speed adjusted from MSI Center.

I have this product installed as an exhaust fan with a very large noctua dual tower cooler close by. the cooler is only single fan so this exhaust fan does a great job expelling the air. The interior temp isn’t high to begin with (PC is in the basement). Very high air circulation in the case. I would definitely buy noctua fans for all PC builds.

Good product. Seems to be good build quality. I dont like that the fan doesnt come with the y-splitter like the original ones, nor different length extensions... Although not a big deal, would have been nice to have 8 corner dampers with the same colour instead of 4... Nice quality sleeve on the cable.

I bought the NF-S12A PWM to replace a 3 pin Fractal Design Dynamic X2 GP-12 I was using as an exhaust fan in the back of my PC case. System temps dropped 5 degrees Celsius under load and Im sure its the quietest fan in my case right now. Cant speak to long-term durability but the materials used seem pretty standard. So far Im very pleased!

These fans are worth every penny as anything from Noctua is. Even on their high setting through my Commander Pro, they are still quieter than most fans I have used. I love the color options for the pads and the all-black look is fantastic! As a side note if I leave my side glass of my O11 Dynamic they also act as an awesome AC unit on a hot day :)

Fan is amazingly quiet. It is barely audible at 1000 rpm. You will only hear it whisper at max rpm. This model is good for airflow provided you do not have too many obstructions on your case. Not for radiators. Ideal as an exhaust fan.
