> 3 dayNoctua e basta, si riesce solo a sentire laria sulle mani, il rumore è talmente fastidioso (scherzo!) che non so se è in funzione oppure no.

> 3 dayThe factory fan in the top of my computer case was stalling and making a lot of noise so I replaced it with this and its been running silently and confidently ever since. The rubber feet really cut down on the vibration! Very happy with this purchase!

> 3 dayJe cherchais à remplacer les ventilateur dun boitier Gigabyte qui étaient dorigines discrets, après avoir essayé des ventilateurs qui se sont tous révélés très bruyant, je retrouve enfin un boitier silencieux avec ces deux ventilateurs Noctua;

> 3 dayThis fan is probably the best 120mm fan Ive ever used. Max speed of 1200rpm doesnt sound like much, but this does more than my stock 120mm fans that ran at 2000rpm, and its way quieter. I need oomph out of the cooling system, so Im not even using the Low Power or Ultra Low Power adapters, but even without them the fan is whisper quiet.

> 3 dayMy noisy computer is no longer noisy. I replaced some fixed speed fans that were always full blast. Now they are managed properly by the MB. Nice and quiet and when they speed up, still quiet.

> 3 dayExcellent fan, nice and quiet, definitely a premium fan based on its quality. I wasnt able take advantage of the anti-stall knobs as they were a bit difficult to install but I doubt it would make a significant difference.

> 3 dayAyant besoin dun ventilateur, jai fini par craquer et tenter lexpérience Noctua. Je ne suis pas déçu, tant je suis satisfait de ce ventilateur et surtout du bundle livré avec. Le ventilateur arrive dans une boite à la fois jolie et solide. A louverture on a le plaisir de trouver en sus du ventilateur :

> 3 dayThey do what they advertise. They keep the noise down and a good airflow. I used them on a Bitfenix Nova as front fans. Had to take the rubber supports off of one of them to make them fit, but otherwise they are fine.
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.
