> 3 daywas very pleased with this fan, ordered second one also for radiator push pull for graphics card liquid cooling project, can hardly hear them run unless they are at full speed which is seldom. would definitely recommend Noctua fans for any project or replacement,

> 3 dayMe compre 2 Noctua NF-S12A PWM, son excelentes ventiladores para tu computadora, silenciosos, no hacen nada de ruido. Los ventiladores aún conservan la forma de sus aspas, no sean deformado nada. Los compré hace como 3 años y aún funcionan como nuevos.

> 3 dayI bought this about a year ago. I give it 4.9 stars. Great fan and cannot tell if it is running by sound alone. Deducting .1 stars for the color(which was the only available at the time of purchase.) Still keeping my Computer cool.

19-11-2024I needed a new fan as the stock one i have in my tower had its bearings run its life. This was recommended by friends and many youtubers and it did not disappoint. My systems temperature went from an idle 45 degrees to 34 degrees and 65 to 50 while gaming. I am going to buy another one to replace the other stock fan in the tower.

> 3 dayLo compré para sustituir un ventilador pocho que me costó 4€ hará 5 años que había empezado a hacer mucho ruido. Hace el mismo ruido que el cualquier otro ventilador, no merece para nada el precio. No lo devuelvo porque me da una pereza tremenda desmontarlo, pero vamos, que si os hace falta un ventilador, con uno de 4€ de marca reconocida vas sobrado.

> 3 dayThese fans push a lot of air and do so quietly. I could see these holding up through future builds. The added cables make the fans well worth the price of entry.

> 3 dayI purchased two of the PWM models so I could control the fans using my motherboard. These fans are extremely quiet. My motherboard has a fan tuning app to let me know the minimum amount of power needed for these fans, and it also allows me to change the speed based on my cpu temp which is important for a home media pc and server. I just wish the Noctua fan line wasnt so ugly (I wouldnt put these in a windowed case)! Also in the box is an extension cable, the rubber mounting plugs (i prefer screws), fan splitter (for connecting two fans using the same pwm plug), and screws. The fans have built-in vibration pads in each corner so needless to say they dont vibrate. If you are new to the pc build scene, remember to create positive airflow by allowing more air in then out.
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.
