> 3 dayThis is an amazing fan - I used two to replace both of my Cooler Master Sickleflow 120mms in my V6 GT CPU fan - noticeably quieter, or shall I say - I cant really hear them in my case like I used to. Sometimes I wonder if my computer is even on...

> 3 dayquiet, comes with rubber screws to dampen the noise too.

> 3 dayTralasciando la ventola in sé, che, da sola, rappresenta un gioiellino di ingegneria, vi inviterei a diffidare di tutti coloro che vi diranno che questa ventola è silenziosa: è INUDIBILE! Non sono riuscito a sentirne il rumore nemmeno accostando lorecchio alla paratia del mio case!

> 3 dayReplaced my noisy fan that came with my case. This one is whisper quiet. Its not quite as easy to install as the packaging implies but that still means it only took me five minutes. If I had needle nose pliers it would have taken two.

> 3 dayIch wollte das Lüftergeräusch meines PCs auf ein Minimum reduzieren. Noctua ist einer der besten Lieferanten für solche Wünsche. Nach dem Einbau, der problemlos möglich ist, war das Laufgeräusch im Grundbetrieb sofort auf ein Minimum reduziert. Bei höherem Kühlbedarf erfüllt der Lüfter nicht ganz meine Ansprüche. Eine Kontaktaufnahme zum Hersteller brachte mir sehr kurzfristig eine Ersatzlieferung, die allerdings ebenfalls an ihre Grenzen stieß, bei Drehzahlen an der Kapazitätsgrenze. Trotzdem würde ich mich wieder für Noctua entscheiden.

> 3 dayDiese Gehäuselüfter ersetzen die beim Gehäuse mitgelieferten und relativ lauten Lüfter. Ich habe zwei Stück verbaut und es ist Ruhe im Gehäuse. Die Laufeigenschaften sind prima. Aber das ist eigentlich klar. Es ist ein Noctua.

Greater than one weekPractically silent at their lowest, medium noise at their highest!
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.
