Noctua NF-S12A PWM, Premium Quiet Fan, 4-Pin (120mm, Brown)

Greater than one weekI 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.

> 3 dayI have used Noctua fans for all my builds in the last6 several years with no disappointment. Quiet reliable fans not pretty but very effective. My closed loop AIO has all fans replaced with Noctua.

> 3 dayVery solid construction. I love that it comes with extension cable, rubber mounts and screws. I intend to replace the rest of my fans with these or similar.

Greater than one weekcomprata per espellere aria dal retro del case, che dire, già ne avevo due sopra al case in espulsione ed ho guadagnato altri gradi e la rumorosità è rimasta quella di prima, consigliata come ogni prodotto noctua è una GARANZIA!
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. |

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.
