> 3 dayGood build quality and fans are silent during normal use. A little pricy but I guess you get what you pay for.

> 3 dayAlways like the Noctua fans but my only issue with these are you only getting 4 of one color.

> 3 dayI 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.

> 3 dayGreat exhaust fan but not as silent as advertised. Possibly due to the shape of the grate around the exhaust mount in my PC, I get a lot of air movement noise from this fan at anything higher than 50% speed. Seems to move a decent amount of air but not as much as I was led to believe.

> 3 dayMajor upgrade from the nzxt case fans that come in the 500i case. Wish they made the s12as in 140mm. Had to get a14s for the top of my case. Wouldve preferred these since their better for case air flow.

> 3 dayCoupled 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.

Having received more than 100 awards and recommendations from international hardware websites and magazines, the NF-S12A is one of Noctua’s most renowned and popular 120mm fans. Its outstanding airflow efficiency and superb acoustics make it ideal for case cooling and other low-impedance applications. The chromax.black.swap edition combines the NF-S12A’s signature quiet cooling performance with an attractive all-black design and a bundle of swappable red, white, blue, green, yellow and black anti-vibration pads that allow the colour-customisation of the fan to match individual build colour schemes. For further customisation, a wide range of accessories such as coloured cables, additional anti-vibration pads and anti-vibration mounts are available separately. Topped off with Noctua’s trusted premium-grade SSO2 bearing and more than 150,000 hours MTTF, the NF-S12A PWM chromax.black.swap is the perfect choice for all users who value individual, focused build aesthetics just as much as class-leading quality and performance.
Trusted NF-S12A design
The NF-S12A features the third evolution of Noctua"s classic Straight Blade Design that has earned its S12 series countless recommendations from hardware journalists and enthusiasts around the world. Further optimised for even better airflow/noise efficiency, it makes the NF-S12A an ideal quiet case fan.

Swappable anti-vibration pads in 6 coloursThe NF-S12A 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. |
Anti-Stall KnobsThe NF-S12A"s Anti-Stall Knobs reduce flow separation phenomena in medium to high impedance situations and thereby increase the fan"s stall margin. This means that the NF-S12A is even more versatile than its renowned predecessor and can achieve better performance on heatsinks and radiators. |
AAO frameNoctua"s AAO (Advanced Acoustic Optimisation) frames feature integrated anti-vibration pads as well as Noctua"s proprietary Stepped Inlet Design and Inner Surface Microstructures, both of which further refine the fan"s performance/noise efficiency |
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.
