Greater than one weekThis fan served as a replacement case fan for an existing system. It was much quieter than my original thermaltake fan. I will definitely be buying again in the future.

> 3 dayI cannot describe in English words how amazed I was at how quiet the Noctua fans are after installing them. Please allow me to demonstrate my appreciation in the form of equivalent silence written in the form of ellipses:

> 3 dayPlenty of other reviewers have already covered the bases... this fan is very quiet, but moves a lot of air. You can sort of hear the air, but you cant hear the motor at all.

> 3 dayI reserve 5 stars for truly stellar products. I give 4 stars to great products. THIS THING IS QUIET!!! I replaced the Antec Tricool 120mm fan in my P183 case. No comparison.

> 3 dayDefinitely worth the price. I had old non-PWM model for 8 years and decided to upgrade to this one. Super quiet at 300RPM, and excellent performance at full speed. Comes with 6 years warranty but I dont think you will have any use of it, as my old fans I sold to my friend are still working well.

> 3 dayThe color is unique and fine with me. Ive come to prefer it for my application. Fans are beautifully designed and have much less of a hum or whine some less expensive competitors fans have. I paired them with temperature controlled system running 6 fans, two pair as in-out tandems with PWM smart fan speed adjustment, and single rear lowered speed full time fans.
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.
