> 3 dayPushes a lot of air with very low noise, virtually silent. I installed it as an exhaust fan for my mid tower gaming rig. Silent, reliable and the colors bring me back to the 70s when men were men, fans were fans, and small furry creatures from Alpha Centauri were real small furry creatures from Alpha Centauri.

> 3 dayIch habe mir im Dezember ein Corsair Carbide Air 240 gegönnt. Die schon verbauten Lüfter waren leise, aber mir nicht leise genug. Aufgrund meiner positiven Erfahrung mit einem Noctua CPU Kühler wollte ich es nun wissen, wie leise kann man einen PC machen. Ich muss ehrlich sagen, würden im PC nicht ein paar LED brennen, könte man meinen der PC ist aus. Unhörbar geworden. Ich würde diese Lüfter jeder Zeit wieder kaufen!

Greater than one weekThis is the quietest and smoothest running fan Ive ever (Not) heard!!! I used two to ventilate a cabinet containing my living room NAS and they are completely undetectable to my ear at both the low and high speeds.

> 3 dayThese fans are absolutely amazing! I have a Corsair H100i and the fans were absolutely unbearable. It sounded like a jet engine the moment I turned my computer on. Decided to get these to replace the stock fans and the difference is night and day. My PC sounds like it should, nice and quiet. I would definitely recommend these to anyone looking for a high quality fan.

> 3 dayAcheté en 2015 pour mettre en extraction à larrière dune tour, le ventilateur est toujours en état de fonctionnement 8 ans après, et sans augmentation du bruit de la rotation.

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.
