Greater than one weekIm using this as the rear exhaust fan on my case and couldnt be happier. It moves quite a lot of air and is very quiet, even at full speed.

> 3 dayNoctua è una garanzia quando si tratta di raffeddamento del proprio PC. Montnta per espellere aria dal case, svolge egregiamente il suo dovere. Ho riscontrato una maggiore silenziosità rispetto a quella inclusa. Presenta anche gommini antrivibrazione per evitare rumori eccessevi causati da qeusto fenomeno. Il mio consgilio è quelllo di montare come ventola per raffreddare i componenti allinterno case e non sul dissipatore, dato i pochi giri e la poca pressione che riesce a generare per tale utilizzo. Per questo scopo meglio andare su altro, la serie F, sempre di Noctua

> 3 dayHabe mir den Noctua als Ersatz für meinen 8 Jahre alten Cooler Master geholt und bin nicht gerade begeistert.

> 3 dayUtilizzata come ventola di estrazione nella parte posteriore dal case è davvero ottima, silenziosissima e qualità al top.

> 3 dayIm pasting this review from my website but you will have to go to my website in order to see the benchmark results because I cannot put pictures in Amazon reviews. I posted the link in the comments because Amazon doesnt allow URLs in reviews.

> 3 dayWhat can i say, its Noctua. Arguably the best fan maker on the market. This one is no exception. Its completely silent at idle & moves a excellent amount of air. I have it installed as an exhaust in my Meshify C case. Love these Fans.

Greater than one weekSkipping the the fan stuff, quality is great.
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.
