> 3 dayLo compré para sustituir un ventilador pocho que me costó 4€ hará 5 años que había empezado a hacer mucho ruido. Hace el mismo ruido que el cualquier otro ventilador, no merece para nada el precio. No lo devuelvo porque me da una pereza tremenda desmontarlo, pero vamos, que si os hace falta un ventilador, con uno de 4€ de marca reconocida vas sobrado.

> 3 dayThis is the real deal. I know the price is high but the fan comes with so many accessories its kinda worth it. I used the rubber stoppers ( in lieu of fat screws) to help silence another PC. I used the 2 in 1 fan adapter to connect 2 fans to one fan header. Then I used the cable extender to hook those fans to a 5.25 fan controller. Now I have intake fans for my arcade cab. I used to low RPM fan adapter on a 140mm exhaust fan to help silence it. So you never know when you will be able to use the extras.

> 3 dayEigentlich wollte ich meinen Sharkoon-Gehäuselüfter durch einen leiseren ersetzen. Daher bestellte ich den hier. Die Verarbeitungsqualität des Lüfters ist super, wie auch vom reichlichen Zubehör. Auch die Montage klappte einfach. Aber als ich dann meine Maschine einschaltete, war ich etwas enttäuscht: leiser als der bereits im Gehäuse verbaute 120er-Lüfter von Sharkoon ist er auch nicht. Von daher seine 20 EUR meiner Meinung nach nicht wert.

> 3 dayPurchased 2 of these as intakes for my Solo II and they move more air than I expected for how quiet they are. On normal PWM settings I can feel air exiting the case, which is impressive as I dont have an exhaust fan. Also on normal PWM settings Im unable to hear any fan noise, at most I just air the sound of air moving. These are a significant upgrade over the TrueQuiet and TrueQuiet Pro I was using. I keep my PWM settings set to quiet and they still provide adequate cooling with less of the moving air noise. With a new baby I dont game as loud as I used to so its nice to be able to quiet down my computer as well.

> 3 dayHabe mir wegen doch großer Hitzeprobleme in meinem Desktop PC einen weiteren Lüfter angeschafft. Wollte mir erst wie bisher auch einen bequiet Lüfter zulegen bin dann aber doch noch auf diesen hier umgestiegen da er von den Datenblattwerten besser ist als alles andere was ich fand.
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.
