> 24 hourThese are the BEST cooling fans you can buy IMO. They are extremely quiet and produce fantastic air flow. I would HIGHLY recommend these if you are looking the best cooling fans for the money.

> 24 hourTolles Produkt, Verpackung und Aufmachung machen das Auspacken zu einer Freude. Habe damit den 140mm Lüfter auf meinem CPU Kühler (Macho Rev.B) ersetzt.

> 24 hourIm a bit of a fan nut. I bought this one because of all the great reviews and because of the stator vanes in the design. If I had seen the very low wattage (0.6) of the fan, I would have passed on it. I also bought a Delta 1.5 amp/ 18 watt 120mm server fan that also has stator vanes. The Delta is a monster but can be easily tamed by giving it 5 or 7 volts. It might even run on 3 volts but I havent tried that yet. All those voltages are easily available from any PC power supply, google it if you dont believe. At 3,5 or 7 volts, the Delta is 4.5 watts, 7.5 watts or 10.5 watts. Not easily adjustable tho, I havent found a way to switch the wires to get 3 speeds with a switch. ***** Update ***** I tested the Delta monster and found that as impressive as it is, its not needed. Its much easier to use good PWM fans - see update below.

> 24 hourworks very well. My only complaint is that you have to look up which way it needs to be installed to push the air in the direction you want it to go. Generally, this is to pull the hot air out of the box. I looked but could not find any markings on the fan to tell me this...But, thats what youtube is for.

> 24 hourQuiet, efficient, and THIS THING MOVES AIR. I have it installed as an input on my case, and even when set to max speed through my BIOS, this thing stays sigh to the lent. I have yet to actually hear this thing spin up. In fact, I mistook the air fins on the front of the fan for the fan blades, and couldnt for the life of me figure out why my fan wasnt spinning! It was; I just couldnt hear it! Im more than willing to purchase form Noctua and through Amamax again.
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.
