> 3 dayIve had PCs for quite a while - 30 years to be exact. Had many fans and many types, from cheap to medium priced. I had read so much about these and the company that makes them I thought I couldnt go wrong. To explain my current setup I currently have an exhaust fan at the back, a 360mm AIO with push/pull - so 6 fans there, and then 3 on the front of my case. My case is an Corsair Airflow 5000D.

> 3 dayKeeps it cool, quiet and has an improvement of 15c on prime95. Could not be happier. I have it in a push pull configuration w/ a noctua cooler w/ a matching fan.

> 3 dayThese fans are simply amazing! Im running them at the highest rpm and they are still very quiet especially compared to the corsair fans I had before. Not only are these fans whisper quiet but they also brought my temps down quite a bit. The one obvious gripe is that I wish they came in better color options, I can live with that though.

Greater than one weekI bought this for my PC as the rear exhaust fan was just not cutting it.

> 3 dayI replaced the stock fan on my radiator with two of these in a push/pull configuration. Im moving over twice the air with about the same noise level. The ability to tune the flow/noise levels with the different connectors let me dial in the amount of air I needed without the excess noise. Now Im hoping the other fans in my case will die, so I can replace them with more of these. They may be pricey, but theyre quieter and more durable than sleeve bearing fans, so they pay for themselves in the long run.

> 3 dayExcellent product keeps device cool . Used with noise reduction adaptor that came with it wont even notice fan is running underneath . Without adaptor makes little humming noise buy does not bother anyone .

> 3 dayNoctua have mastered the art of moving air silently but efficiently. At the same RPM, these fans lowered my temps and decibel volume compared to the cooler master fans I was using before.
Teaming up eleven stator guide vanes with a specially conceived seven blade impeller, the NF-F12’s Focused Flow system creates outstanding static pressure and focuses the airflow for superior performance on heatsinks and radiators. At the same time, a wide range of advanced aerodynamic design measures, second generation SSO-Bearing and Noctua’s new, custom designed PWM IC for fully automatic control assures astounding quietness of operation. The NF-F12 comes with modular cabling, integrated anti-vibration pads and two speed settings for full flexibility. Its commanding performance, exhaustive set of features and Noctua’s trusted premium quality make it an elite choice for use on air coolers, radiators and other pressure demanding applications.
Focused Flow frame
Designed for pressure demanding applications such as heatsinks and radiators, the Focused Flow frame features eleven stator guide vanes that straighten, channel and focus the airflow, which allows the NF-F12 to rival the performance of conventional fans running at much faster speeds.

Heptaperf ImpellerCustom designed for the new Focused Flow frame and to work in tandem with the eleven stator guide vanes, the NF-F12"s seven blade Heptaperf impeller has been carefully optimised to achieve a perfect balance between power and quietness. |
SSO2 bearingThe NF-F12 is the first fan to feature 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. |
Varying Angular Distance and Vortex Control NotchesThe NF-F12"s stator guide vanes are set out in Varying Angular Distance and feature Vortex-Control Notches. Both measures help to spread the noise emission over a broader frequency spectrum and thus make the fan"s sound pattern more agreeable to the human ear. |
Scope of Delivery
|
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.
