    Senza dubbio le migliori ventole presenti sulla piazza, che senza dubbio si fanno sentire in termini di spesa. Muovono un sacco di aria, a distanza di anni sono ancora silenziosissime e se proprio non vi piace il marroncino tipico di Noctua potete sempre prendere le colorazioni differenti a un leggero sovrapprezzo. La qualità si paga, ma in compenso non esistono alternative più prestanti per il mercato consumer.

    I bought two of these fans to replace the front fans in my computer. The originals were already very quiet, but the Noctuas you can barely hear at all. Under heavy load, the difference becomes even more apparent. They are fantastic, are nicely packaged with all bells and whistles (Y-cable, extension cable, low noise resistor cable to reduce RPM range, anti vibration mounts, screws). The 6 years warranty dont hurt either! :-)

    Other reviews have said it all. Incredibly powerful cooling, and just about dead silent even at its max RPM. Well made, nothing about it is flimsy or loose. Noctua are hands down the best fans on the market for just about any PC cooling purpose you can think of.

    Très bon matériel. Silencieux. Bon refroidissement.

    Ich habe bereits 80mm und einen 200m der Serie verbaut. Meine Zufriedenheit mit den Lüftern von Noctua ist kaum zu übertreffen.

    Le contenu de la boîte est très complet. Câblage adéquat et très bien protégé. Matériel haut de gamme. Parfaitement inaudible.

    Very quiet fans. I have a total of 8 noctua fans in my system. 4 are set to max rpm and the loudest fan in my system is the psu fan. My system stays cool as well.

    Noctua is known for their low volume and high airflow, and now I see why. Great fans.

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.
