Greater than one weekFor this price youd think the cable would be a normal length for routing. Its like 5 inches so I had to run it directly from the case to the motherboard and not route it. The cable is detachable so in theory you could replace it / make your own but you shouldnt have to.

> 3 dayTwo out of three DOA. I have pulled apart the connectors and soldered the fan directly to the wire, this fixed the fan. If you can buy the exact same one in the tan color, do it. The tan colored ones model for model are made of better quality and the connection that comes from the fan is slightly longer without need for the extension cable included in the package. Ive always purchased this brand Noctua and model NF-S12A (tan fans) and have never had a problem. I even purchased one two weeks before this in tan and no problems A+. I have been an A+ Certified Bench Technician and worked in the field for over 10 years. Good luck and choose wisely.

> 3 dayMy first time trying Noctua Fans. I replaced the stock NZXT fans in my H210 case. The difference is phenomenal. I used the low noise adapters from Noctua as well, and these puppies are whisper silent like no other fan Ive ever owned. They feel like they push more air, and the stream feels more even and steady. The fan blades are nearly invisible while running.
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.
