> 3 dayI went with these for a low static pressure area of my case for max flow (Pay attention to this! You can read all the specs and intended function of the different models at the noctua website).

> 3 dayUnottima ventola per il prezzo proposto. Curata nei minimi particolari e con una dotazione di accessori notevole. Forse si potrebbe chiedere qualche giro al minuto in più da sfruttare con il pwm alloccorrenza.

Greater than one weekI bought this to replace the fan on my Cooler Master V8 cpu cooler. I hated the red leds from the original fan and have heard may good things about Noctua. Installation wasnt an issue, but booting up after was. Somehow, this fan spins less than the stock fan (I assume its so that its quieter) and my PC wouldnt boot until I set the minimum fan speed to below 300 rpm in the BIOS. Also, I shouldve taken some temps before switching out the fan, but this keeps my PC at a steady 40c, even while gaming (although the most intensive game I play is League of Legends). I mean, 40c isnt too hot, but I wouldve loved to see below 35c, at least. Oh well. Its doing its job (keeping my cpu from burning up) so I cant really complain.

> 3 dayGreat fans. Not quite as nice a fit and finish as when they were still made in Taiwan, but they are still as quiet and reliable as you are likely to find.

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.
