> 3 dayI purchased 4 of these to add to the side panel of my Corsair 600T in order to combat high temps caused by my SLI setup. They work well, and are pretty silent (I have two at 100% speed 100% of the time and two using a fan curve) but they seem overpriced for the performance value.

> 3 dayThere are extremely quiet Case Fans especially with the included low noise adapter, must admit little bit on the expensive side but if your looking for quality its right here

> 3 dayI had heard good things about these fans, so ha to try it out. My PC is in a enclosure in my desk and so needs to push air out the rear port. This thing does that extremely well, and with absolutely no sound. My only complaint is the rubber vibration free mounts need to be pulled and i couldnt reach the interior ones, so had to use the screws. Even with them, no vibration noise at all. Would easily buy again, and recommend to all my friends building PCs.

> 3 dayPurchased 4 of these almost 5 years ago: still perfectly functional and super quiet as you would expect from Noctua. Upgrading my system soon and definitely transferring them into a new case.

> 3 dayEs la primera vez que compro un producto Noctua y debo decir que quede muy impresionado por la calidad y funcionamiento de este ventilador, lo unico malo son los colores pero para mi es lo que menos importa mientras funcione bien y tal vez hasta terminas acosumbrandote a el sobre todo si tienes un gabinete con ventana, si no tiene ventana entonces no debes dudar en comprarlo, simplemente son los mejores y mas silenciosos que existen en el mercado.

> 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.

Greater than one weekVery solid construction. I love that it comes with extension cable, rubber mounts and screws. I intend to replace the rest of my fans with these or similar.
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.
