    Fantastic fans. I think my results may be a little extreme but my setup was 3 apevia case fans in the front, 1 mastercooler 120mm AIO on i7 9700k. The 2 mastercooler fans that came with the AIO were push/pull config on the rear of case. I added 2 of these Noctua fans one on top for exhaust and one on bottom for intake and my cpu is 15 degrees cooler now while gaming. My GPU never gets hot so Im not sure the improvement it made for it.

    Pushes air with pwm control. U can get in black as well.

    The quality of these fans are great but....I am not a fan of the mounting system. It does provide for a low noise mount but for my specific case it was more trouble than its worth. I have a Corsair Vengeance C70 case and the mounting knobs did not play nice with the proprietary grommets corsair uses. Also, given the location of the mount, it might be difficult even without the grommet issue. I would not, however, let that discourage you from buying this fan. It is great.

    I needed a quiet fan for the low profile heat sink in my Home Theater Personal Computer (HTPC). I used a ASUS Z87M-Plus motherboard with ASUS Fan Xpert 2 Fan control software. Other PWM fans I tried would not spin down correctly and could not be calibrated to work with the automatic speed control of Fan Xpert 2. I installed this Noctua fan and it calibrated with Fan Xpert 2 perfectly the first time and now works to automatically control the fan speed based on the processor temperature. The fan runs full speed at 1200 RPM when the processor is at full load and slows to 250 RPM at idle. Even at full speed the processor the fan is quiet and at idle cannot be heard. Pros: comes with a full set of accessories, works great with Fan Xpert 2 where other fans wont and has a 6 year warranty. Cons: pricey compared to other fans. If I had purchased this fan to begin with I would have saved the days I spent troubleshooting my HTPC trying to find out the problem with the other fans not being sensed correctly by Fan Xpert 2. So much for being a cheapskate. Next time Ill buy this better fan to begin with.

    Good price, quick shipping. Fans work exactly as described. Very quiet. Great for HTPC.

    Been using Noctua case fans for many years. They move a lot of air at low speeds, are almost silent, and Ive never had one fail. I only use these where they arent visible because of the colors. The black.swap ones are just as good (just more expensive) so I use them where a fan is exposed.

    Efficace et très agréable pour ventiler un boitier, en particulier en push/pull. Excellent rapport qualité/prix comparé au Noctua NF-A12x25 PWM qui est meilleur mais bien plus cher.

    ... in summe also erneut, wie von Noctua gewohnt

    Excellent design. I have it set as exhaust in my case and I almost want to put another in the front of a 200mm non-PWM fan that sits at max most of the time.

    Das Kabel- und Befestigungszubehör ist lobend zu erwähnen. Der Kühler macht gute Arbeit am Miditowergehäuse (seitliche Abluft) und ist kaum vernehmbar (Boardgesteuerte Umdrehungen).

NF-S12A PWM HeaderNF-S12A PWM Header

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 pads

Integrated 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 bearing

The 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 Microstructures

With 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

  • NA-RC7 Low-Noise Adaptor (L.N.A)
  • NA-YC1 4-pin PWM y-cable
  • NA-EC1 30cm extension cable
  • 4x NA-AV1 anti-vibration mounts
  • Fan screws

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.
