Greater than one weekHigh quality feeling, quiet, high airflow, it’s a Noctua fan what do you expect? I have it on its low noise adapter and I can’t even hear it

> 3 dayPensaba que gastarme veinte euros en un ventilador era una locura, pero luego lo monté en mi equipo y le puse el oído encima... el ruido no es bajo, es directamente inexistente. Y el caudal de aire es equivalente, si no superior, al ventilador que le tenía puesto antes. Repetiré con esta marca.

Greater than one weekReçu aujourdhui, il est quasi parfait. le bundle est efficace, la longueur de câble est un peu courte, mais il y a une rallonge ce qui évite davoir un câble en vadrouille si on à une courte distance pour le brancher. le flux dair est suffisant même si pas folichon, mais plus dair veut dire plus de bruit et là il est presque silencieux.

> 3 dayPerfect inside my Node 804 case. I have 6 of these puppies running to keep my FreeNas system cool and quiet. This are inaudible when running at 600rpm. These are the PWM fans, so voltage and fan speed are controlled via your motherboard. I just wish these came in black.

> 3 dayVery quiet fans. I have a total of 8 noctua fans in my system. 4 are set to max rpm and the loudest fan in my system is the psu fan. My system stays cool as well.

Greater than one weekNoctua è sempre una garanzia sui suoi sistemi di raffreddamento a scapito dellestetica, silenziosissima e super accessoriata, un po costosa ma la qualità si paga

> 3 dayOMG, This fan runs so quiet. Initially, I was looking to buy an Y-Splitter and Low Noise Adapter for my fans which costs about $8 each. Then I came across this product and learned that this comes with both y-splitter, and low noise adapter. so I thought, why not just purchase this for $3 more? which is exactly what I did(ended up buying two of these for front intake use). I like to run my computer very silent so my concern was that by adding two more fans to my PC, it might become more noisy but that was not the case with these fans. As for temperature, not much of changes for system temperature since theses fans are used as front intake fans. but I know they will definitely help to prevent dusts from piling up inside the case.

> 3 dayVery quiet (or silent with the low noise adapter) with substantial airflow. The extra accessories are nice and the packaging is beautiful.

> 3 dayMassive amounts of airflow, plus i can barely hear it, it is quite literally the perfect computer case fan for the size. The only downside i have with this fan is the rubber anti-vibration mounts are quite challenging to get on if you dont have a lot of space for your hands, however its definitely worth the effort.

The NF-S12A marks the third generation of Noctua’s signature S12 series quiet case fans, which have received more than 250 awards and recommendations from the international press. Featuring a further refined blade design with Anti-Stall Knobs that works in tandem with the new AAO (Advanced Acoustic Optimisation) frame, the NF-S12A improves the airflow/noise efficiency of its renowned predecessor by up to 8%. The PWM version sports Noctua’s custom designed NE-FD1 IC for fully automatic speed control via 4-pin fan headers and comes with a Low-Noise-Adaptor to reduce the maximum speed during PWM control from 1200 to 900rpm. Its superb running smoothness, SSO2 bearing and Noctua’s trusted premium quality make it an elite choice for quiet case cooling
AAO frame
Noctua"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.

Integrated anti-vibration padsIntegrated anti-vibration pads made from extra-soft silicone minimise the transmission of minute vibrations while maintaining full compatibility with all standard screws and other mounting systems. |
SSO2 bearingThe NF-S12A features 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. |
Inner Surface MicrostructuresWith the tips of the fan blades ploughing through the boundary layer created by the Inner Surface Microstructures, flow separation from the suction side of the blades is significantly suppressed, which results in reduced blade passing noise and improved airflow and pressure efficiency. |
Scope of delivery
|
Anti-Stall Knobs
The 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.
