> 3 dayExcelentes ventiladores. Pueden ser caros comparados con otras marcas pero si duda esta justificado. Viene con extensiones de cables, almohadillas anti vibración y sobre todo tienen 6 años de garantía

> 3 dayReplacing all stock fans in a Corsair 240 with these. The Corsair fans make a slight tapping sound. The Noctua fans are very quiet.

> 3 daySo Quiet. Night and Day difference from the the stock fans that came with my Corsair C70 Case. Noctua you rock!!!

> 3 dayThese fans (NF-S12A) have the same airflow capability as ML120s that I was using before at half the rpm and less than half the noise, albeit much leas static pressure, I don’t have a restrictive “look good” case, airflow all the way. At full blast (1200rpm) they sound like a person breathing gently, not loudly. Superb quality and I do love the signature colors, I’m sure lots of people are hating on that comment but its my PC and I purposely bought the signature colors because I know that the people at Noctua are proud of their engineering and their signature colors and I respect that. Your computer may “look nicer” but mine is probably faster.

> 3 dayNoctua is known for their low volume and high airflow, and now I see why. Great fans.

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.
