Noctua NF-S12B redux-1200, High Performance Cooling Fan, 3-Pin, 1200 RPM (120mm, Grey)

Seemed like a nice fan from a great brand, but today it started starting and stopping and then just stopped. Ive tried plugging it into different fan plugs on the motherboard, and Ive tried plugging another fan in where it was plugged in, everything else seems to work fine, the fan just wont start back up.

I think this is a good fan, but its not perfect. As part of the redux line from Noctua, its got a more basic package. I think these fans are probably not the best value in the about $14 dollar or so range. But I was going with a gray & silver build so they are really nice. I think asthetically they look very nice. It does, due to its design, move air well through open spaces. I use Noctuas low noise adapter with this and it works well, and is very quiet at about 900RPM or so. At stock speed I think its a little loud, but thats just me and your mileage may vary. As with other Noctua fans, it makes a low pitched hum. In all, it works for me and I look forward to many years of service with it.

Fans work well and move a good amount of air.

This is a very quiet fan, even at full speed. I typically keep them at 900 RPM for total silence, however. This fan moves a lot of air. The quality is apparent. A little on the pricey side, but you get what you pay for. No major complaints.

works fine

I needed a replacement for a case fan and I was happily surprised with its performance. I got this fan for $13 and with its silent operation I can say it’s a great option for the price, classic Noctua. Colors leave a little to be desired, along with the ketchup and mustard cables, but at the end of the day performance is more important than appearance.

I put two of these below my GTX 1080 and they dropped the cards temp by 5-7C. Not bad...

Best fan made for one thing and one thing only, dependability. No need to capitalize on useless “RGB” for an extra $40 or so

Run silent and still give good airflow. Set two up as exhaust fans and improved temps by 2 C

It’s definitely a value for how much you spend mine keep my PC super super cool even when it’s under load when I’m playing very intensive graphics games and it’s really good for the case that I have
