> 24 hourBought to replace a similarly priced fan from another well known company that was already failing. Easy to replace the faulty item, even for me, and PC is now completely inaudible when running.

> 24 hourHabe mir den Noctua als Ersatz für meinen 8 Jahre alten Cooler Master geholt und bin nicht gerade begeistert.

> 24 hourIts not the cheapest but it shifts a good amount of air, its nearly silent, there are no gimmicks or lights to it. Just very will built. comes with all you need in the box including spare splitter cables - all of which are also well built and feel premium.

> 24 hourNot the prettiest of fans but I’ve a closed case with no windows so I only care about performance and they don’t get any better when it comes to noise (lack of) and air flow performance. These are optimised for airflow so be careful if you need something more pressure optimised, i.e. for a rad or heatsink

> 24 hourFantastic fan. Fantastic adapters, Fantastic packaging. Noctua really does create an experience out of opening up a computer fan. The fan itself is dead quiet and runs at the given fan speed. The adapters alone make this package worth well the money over the long run as I dont have to worry purchasing additional adapters for fans because Noctua supplies them all! Great fan, but if you want a meatier fan for radiators or heatsinks, get the NF-F12 instead.
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.
