    Ottima qualità, rispetto alle equivalenti Noctua non PWM, hanno un range più ampio di regolazione, si riesce a regolare da 1200 fino a poco più di 200 rpm. Io ne ho inserite due nel case del HTPC, a riposo vanno a 400 rpm e sono inudibili.

    Très bon produit, silencieux, facile à installer et produit un important courant dair pour ventiler mon boîtier. Pas donné, mais jespère bien le garder de nombreuses années.

    I know the fan is working. My motherboard monitor shows the RPM of the fan. I cant hear it at all though, and I dont feel much air coming from it.

    Noctua fans are well known by builders as being one of the go-to choices for quiet performance. From CPU coolers, to CPU fans (static), to case fans (air flow), and hybrids in between, Noctua delivers. I have used Noctua 120mm, 140mm, 40mm, and 92mm fans for various projects. Ive used 120mm/140mm fans on cases and CPUs. Ive used their 40mm fans on 3D Printers and South Bridge Chipsets (like the Intel DX58SO motherboard). The 92mm I use on a Odroid cloudshell 2. In all cases, the fans move lots of air (or static pressure), maintaining cool temperatures and quiet operation. This particular fan, the NF-S12A PWM 4-pin (they also offer a 3 pin model), Noctua suggests works well as a case fan delivering a good volume of air. It comes with both screws and rubber grommets for mounting the fan (the latter for more vibration dampening over standard screw usage, but the corners of the fan are covered in a thin rubber overlay which already does a good job dampening any excess vibration so that I have never needed the grommets. I dont care for the Noctua fan colors, and if the color is also not your favorite, they do sell a gray version called redux, but it performs a little less than the regular fans and it doesnt come with mounting grommets or the extra fan speed reduction cables that come with this model. Noctua also makes a static pressure version (for CPU coolers and radiators) as well as a hybrid model that works well in any application (static vs air flow). Ive bought many of these fans, and would buy them again. In this particular case, I bought these to use on an Ultra Gladiator mid-tower case (the older model from 2007/2009). I am using one in the front, and one in the back for an older core i7-4770K machine (not overclocked). I also used a couple on a newer AMD Ryzen 5 3400G system in an Antec 900 case with 1/2 front fans using a Noctua (the other I chose an LED fan so I can tell from afar when its on), and one in the back of the case. The temperatures in all cases are well controlled by these fans, and are super quiet. Ive used Antec, Corsair, Thermaltake, Cooler Master, Deep Cool, Cryorig, and BeQuiet! and some non-name brand fans - Noctua is by far the quietest of almost all of them, and for the others, might be a close tie if not the winner...

    Excelente, muy buen producto y excelente calidad... aunque el color si esta medio feo, pero lo que importa es la eficiencia

NF-S12A PWM HeaderNF-S12A PWM Header

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 pads

Integrated 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 bearing

The 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 Microstructures

With 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

  • NA-RC7 Low-Noise Adaptor (L.N.A)
  • NA-YC1 4-pin PWM y-cable
  • NA-EC1 30cm extension cable
  • 4x NA-AV1 anti-vibration mounts
  • Fan screws

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.
