> 3 dayventola fantastica, qualità e silensiosità noctua. nella confezione sono presenti gommini di fissaggio anti vibrazioni, cavo a Y sdoppiatore degli ingressi, proluga di 30cm e una prolunga di circa 10 cm che abbassa la tensione operativa e limita gli rpm massimi per quelli che cercano ulteriore silenziosità. CONSIGLIATISSIMA

> 3 dayChe dire Noctua è una garanzia. La ventola è silenziosissima nonostante nel posteriore del case non sia riuscito a montarla con i supporti di gomma. Nonostante la silenziosità la quantità di aria spostata è sorprendente.

Greater than one weekVerarbeitung ist hier auf sehr hohen Niveau! 20€ sind vielleicht nicht gerade billig, aber man erhält dafür auch die passende Gegenleistung. Sehr wertig verarbeitet und viel Zubehör. Mit dabei sind: 2x PWM Verlängerungskabel und 1x PWM Y-Kabel (zusätzlich zu den obligatorischen Schrauben und Gummisteckern). Wirklich sehr leise: Lautstärke 10,7 - 17,8 dB, bei einem Volumenstrom von: 83,2 - 107,5 m³/h. Habe den Lüfter an meinen CPU Kühler von Alpenföhn Brocken verbaut. Gesteuert von Speedfan, läuft er fast unhörbar bei 300 - 500 rpm.

> 3 dayMy case is a Cooler Master HAF XB EVO. It comes with 2 stock 120mm fans in front and space for a 120mm fan in the rear. I ordered a fan for the rear and it is good. I just ordered two more Noctua fans and will replace the stock fans in the front of the case.

> 3 dayso quiet that i had to look see if it was working -- only problem is that i was a but clumsy installing one and pressed on one of the fan blades and broke it - spins but as off centre now need to order another to replace the one that I damaged

01-06-2025Let me start of by saying I really like these fans. My old cheap fans I originally bought sounded like a jet engine when turned on and these are so much quieter. I have 5 in my case currently and no problems with them at all. If i have any issues ill update this review but so far so good. Only thing about them that i hate is the color but since they are in my case and not easily visible not really an issue for me.

Greater than one weekPurchased 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 dayLe ventilateur est parfait, plus aucun bruit ne provient de ma tour. Un peu moins de 20€ le ventilateur, ça fait quand même cher, il faut peut être attendre une bonne promo.
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.
