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

Good product

This Noctua NF-S12A case fan is as good as Ive seen in terms of build quality. Even box the fan is supplied in immediately sings quality.

These fans are the quietest things I have every heard...will be buying more for my other computers and entertainment ventilation system.

I was looking for a way to quite down the case fans in my pc, which I use in a small room. I switched out three case fans with the Noctuas and noticed a huge improvement. Installation was easy and the 4 pin design allows the mother board to keep speeds down when extra cooling is not needed. Even at higher speeds, the fans are still quiet. The main noise heard now is the hard drive.

Il marchio top della ventilazione case, mi h soddisfatto aolo in parte, 1° il costo elevato ed i cavetti corti, anche la prolunga...Che dire, il funzionamento e ottimo, silenziosa, tappini classici in gomma per linstallazione ammortizzata...Buon prodotto, ma si trova stesso materiale a prezzi concorrenziali.

Noctua fans are well known by builders as being one of the go-to choices for quiet performance. From CPU coolers, to CPU fans (static), to case fans (air flow), and hybrids in between, Noctua delivers. I have used Noctua 120mm, 140mm, 40mm, and 92mm fans for various projects. Ive used 120mm/140mm fans on cases and CPUs. Ive used their 40mm fans on 3D Printers and South Bridge Chipsets (like the Intel DX58SO motherboard). The 92mm I use on a Odroid cloudshell 2. In all cases, the fans move lots of air (or static pressure), maintaining cool temperatures and quiet operation. This particular fan, the NF-S12A PWM 4-pin (they also offer a 3 pin model), Noctua suggests works well as a case fan delivering a good volume of air. It comes with both screws and rubber grommets for mounting the fan (the latter for more vibration dampening over standard screw usage, but the corners of the fan are covered in a thin rubber overlay which already does a good job dampening any excess vibration so that I have never needed the grommets. I dont care for the Noctua fan colors, and if the color is also not your favorite, they do sell a gray version called redux, but it performs a little less than the regular fans and it doesnt come with mounting grommets or the extra fan speed reduction cables that come with this model. Noctua also makes a static pressure version (for CPU coolers and radiators) as well as a hybrid model that works well in any application (static vs air flow). Ive bought many of these fans, and would buy them again. In this particular case, I bought these to use on an Ultra Gladiator mid-tower case (the older model from 2007/2009). I am using one in the front, and one in the back for an older core i7-4770K machine (not overclocked). I also used a couple on a newer AMD Ryzen 5 3400G system in an Antec 900 case with 1/2 front fans using a Noctua (the other I chose an LED fan so I can tell from afar when its on), and one in the back of the case. The temperatures in all cases are well controlled by these fans, and are super quiet. Ive used Antec, Corsair, Thermaltake, Cooler Master, Deep Cool, Cryorig, and BeQuiet! and some non-name brand fans - Noctua is by far the quietest of almost all of them, and for the others, might be a close tie if not the winner...

I have bought a few of A14 F12 P12 A9 in the past and now S12. None of them has disappointed me yet. If you want the best balance between noise and airflow, Noctua will not disappoint you. My only wish is they will never release a RGB version of all their fans. Otherwise, I would have to replace all the Noctua fans I have now.

Great product, worth every penny. Comes in a beautiful box with many extra connecting cables and special soft mounting parts to absolutely eliminate any noise transfer.

molto silenziosa ed efficiente

The best case cooler i had, its quiet you even notice that he is there. I could reduce a lot the noise of my desktop.
