> 3 dayVery quiet (or silent with the low noise adapter) with substantial airflow. The extra accessories are nice and the packaging is beautiful.

> 3 dayI did some research on good case fans as I needed a pair to use as intakes on my new PC. Noctua are known for their quiet fans and I can attest to this, as I do not hear them at all; even when taking off the side panels and putting my ear right next to them, I barely hear a thing.

> 3 dayAls ich in meinem PC einen neuen CPU-Kühler (NOCTUA NH-U9S plus NOCTUA NF-A9 PWM) einbaute, habe ich auch diesen Lüfter mit Low Noise Adapter eingebaut. Er sitzt vorne im Gehäuse und zieht die Luft in den PC rein und bläst sie dann an den Festplatten entlang. Alle Sensoren zeigen niedrige Werte, die Drehzahl bleibt insgesamt niedrig und zu hören ist er fast gar nicht. Alle erforderlichen Montageteile und eine sehr gute bebilderte Montageanleitung liegen bei. Insgesamt sehr empfehlenswert.

> 3 dayHabe mit diesem Lüfter den rückseitigen Lüfter in einem CoolerMaster N300 ersetzt. Es ist ein Unterschied wie Tag und Nacht, einfach großartig. Nachdem der Computer komplett hochgefahren ist und auch das DVD-Laufwerk nicht mehr bemüht, ist er nicht mehr zu hören.

> 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 dayDer Lüfter arbeitet in meinem Xigmatek Nebula C Mini-ITX Cube als Gehäuselüfter. Zusammen mit dem Mainboard ASUS H110I-PLUS D3 und dessen Lüftersteuerung ist der HTPC nahezu geräuschlos. Super Verarbeitung und jede Menge Zubehör liegt dem extrem wertigen Lüfter bei. Ich kann den Lüfter uneingeschränkt empfehlen.

> 3 dayBest 120mm fans I have ever had. Move enough air and super quiet. The colors are lame though. It looks like a Communist fan.
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.
