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

This is an excellent fan, and its *really* quiet! However... the cable is ridiculously short. Unless youre plugging this in just a few inches from your mount point, you will definitely need to buy some cable extensions.

NF-S12A has very unbalanced charateristic. This fan can make decent amount of air flow, but very weak air pressure. That means this fan is not suitable for envrionment with obstacles. Air flow of this fan is greatly weakened passing obstacles like radiator, heatsink, filter, and even mesh of PC case.

Matched with my build, great noise level, good performance fan. Tho I’d recommend the other versions if you want some stress relief for Cpu cooler, this one is more for airflow efficiency

I will avoid re-stating details you probably already know (Noctua fans are quiet, yes) and information that other reviewers have mentioned. Instead, I will focus primarily on the aspects that make these fans (and all Chromax fans for that matter) a poor value proposition.

I replaced the fans in my old case when I replaced my system with a Ryzen 7 chip and MB. These fans give great airflow and you cant hear them at all.

I purchased two of these fans to replace the fans that were originally supplied with my Corsair H80 CPU cooling system. The Corsair fans were staggeringly loud and it was not possible to properly control the operating speed via the system BIOS.

Quite fan, excellent quality, 6-years warranty, I wish the packaging is lesser quality to make the fan cheaper. The packaging is too good. Wish in the future, RGB lighting is an option.

Great cooling performance and extremely quiet. Below 50%, the fan noise is barely audible. But even above 50% they are still very quiet. And thanks to the anti-vibration pads, I have not experienced any vibrations, even on the max speed. Ive had problems with vibrations from other fans, even though they say their anti-vibration, but no issues with these. The cooling is great, keeping the inside of my PC cooler than the stock fans with a lot less noise. The only downside is that the cables are a little shorter than Id like them to be, but honestly they performer so well I cant complain.

Its Noctua without the ugly brown color, what more could you want?

Very quiet, solid, good Airflow. Quiet and reliable was my main focus.
