> 3 dayI have nothing but Noctua fans in my case! After trying every fan out there (Corsair, Coolermaster, Cougar, Thermaltake, etc) Noctua always wipes the floor with them. I have an Corsair Hydrocooler H60 and with the stock Corsair fan my CPU temps at idle were around 25c but with Noctua fans its around 16c! Dont buy any other fan if you want maximum cooling!

> 3 dayBien sûr que si vous y coller loreille vous y entendrait un léger souffle... plus sérieusement, très bon emballage et super performance en débit dair, il mérite son titre de haut de gamme.

> 3 dayIt is quiet and effective. I love Noctua, high quality and I even got used to the weird colors. Lots of airflow from a small fan.

> 3 dayI bought this fan thinking... Its going to be competing with 2 x 140 top exhaust fans, better to make sure it will run without undue effort/stress to turn the blades when the other exhaust fans are doing their job. Whether or not this fan does what its suppose to do, hard to measure. But I will say that it does exhaust air sufficiently from the case, as expected when the 2 x 140 fans are running.

> 3 dayLazienda austriaca non tradisce mai, queste sono le migliori ventole per lairflow del tuo pc, spostano un sacco di aria e sono silenziosissime, non adatte per radiatori o dissipatori, ma solo per il case.

> 3 dayLa ventola è davvero ottima, fa la giusta aria (non eccessiva ma quella che serve) ed è inudibile.

18-11-2024Replaced the stock case fans in my NZXT H510. The fans it comes with arent bad per se, but Im easily annoyed by noise. These fans give me exactly what I want, which is absolutely no noise other than the sound of air moving. The rubber anti-vibration mounts are a must for these, metal screws vibrating can cause noise. The color scheme of these fans seems to be controversial among pc builders, but beige is my favorite color, lol. By the way, when I bought this on Amazon, I was shipped the ones made in China, not the ones from Taiwan (not actually sure if they are still manufactured there). If youre out of the loop, a fan manufactured in Noctuas China factory had color differences from a fan from the Taiwan factory (there was some reddit drama over this at some point). As far as Im concerned, as long as the two I have are from the same factory (which they are) then Im fine with it.

> 3 daySo quiet, and all the included cable splitters and extensions made it really easy to wire up and install. I also have a color max fan in the back, and I feel that the components included in the brown noctua fans make the brown ones a much better deal.
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.
