> 3 dayVery quiet, but the effect for lowering the temp is merely okey, and under my expectation.

> 3 dayGreat vents, the only issue, the colour... Thats not great. Luckily for me dont really care about that. But good investment.

> 3 dayThis fan is at least 3 years old now. The horrible sound of the manufacturer fan was fixed and this one is still super quiet. Works great and good price.

> 3 dayReçu récemment pour remplacer le ventilateur de mon ventirad watercoolé Corsair. La différence est flagrante! Très silencieux, refroidit très bien mon Core i5 8400 (moins de 30° en idle). Noctua fait des merveilles avec ses ventilos.

> 3 dayOMG, This fan runs so quiet. Initially, I was looking to buy an Y-Splitter and Low Noise Adapter for my fans which costs about $8 each. Then I came across this product and learned that this comes with both y-splitter, and low noise adapter. so I thought, why not just purchase this for $3 more? which is exactly what I did(ended up buying two of these for front intake use). I like to run my computer very silent so my concern was that by adding two more fans to my PC, it might become more noisy but that was not the case with these fans. As for temperature, not much of changes for system temperature since theses fans are used as front intake fans. but I know they will definitely help to prevent dusts from piling up inside the case.

Greater than one weekVery quiet, looks terrible but I cant see it or hear it which is what matters to me.

> 3 dayExtremely quiet, moves a lot of air. Worth every penny. 10/10 would recommend.

> 3 dayThis fan is not that quiet. I got this fan because of the lower max rpms and supposed lower dbA since I have a 3 pin header, I figured a l.n.a. would be enough. Lo and behold it isnt, I even hooked up 2 l.n.as to slow the rpm even more but I can still hear it. According to speedfan 1 l.n.a dropped the rpm from 1200 to 1050 instead of reported 900, and 2 l.n.as dropped it to 950. Either the software is inaccurate or the resistors were off.

> 3 dayThe rubber and the cable are really tanken care of. Package comes with many extra cables like Y split, cable extension, and the LNA.

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.
