22-11-2024I have always had (what I thought atleast) decent fans... reluctantly bought these despite the hideous colouring...

> 3 dayVentola eccezionale ed inudibile. Ne comprerò unaltra per il frontale del case. Questo completamente chiuso dai pannelli laterali non lascia udire un benchè minimo rumore, incredibile. Non pensavo che un flusso daria, che comunque genera uno spostamento di volume fosse così silente con questa ventola da 120 mm. Ho preferito fissarla con le viti in dotazione anzichè con i gommini antivibrazine. Il risultato è lo stesso: inudibile.

> 3 dayPurchased this along with a 140mm model. Both were simple to unpack, install, and are whisper quiet. Temp wise there hasnt really been a negative or a positive change, but I wasnt expecting one, only the blissful silence.

> 3 daycant really complain much except the rubber mounting pins are hard to put it in. but if you have a knife, you can cut bit of meat out of that rubber pin to make it a bit easier to put through the mount holes. not a big deal.

> 3 dayMassive amounts of airflow, plus i can barely hear it, it is quite literally the perfect computer case fan for the size. The only downside i have with this fan is the rubber anti-vibration mounts are quite challenging to get on if you dont have a lot of space for your hands, however its definitely worth the effort.

Greater than one weeknoctua nf-s12a pwm fan is quiet i really like it you can set the rpm to what ever you like dont case about the colour not in to all this gotta look good i just want my pc to run so i orderd 2 more now am broke for 2 weeks lol when i have the money i will get a noctua nh-d15 cpu cooler

> 3 dayQuiet, moves a lot of air and excellent replacement for my case fans.

> 3 daySilencioso y muy bueno, mueve mucho aire con poco ruido, sólo se oye el movimiento del aire a través. A velocidad máxima se oye un poco, pero son 1300 revoluciones. Sigue siendo ruido de aire, nada mecánico. Se oye mucho menos que el SP 120 incluido con la corsair 400c que tengo.
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.
