> 3 dayLäuft so gut wie lautlos und dabei vibrationsarm, gute Kühlleistung. Die typische Noctua Farbgebung bringt auch in PCs mit cleanem Look einen schönen Farbkontrast.

Greater than one weekI bought this to replace my dying exhaust fan. This thing pushes air through it like no other. Super quiet, super easy to install whether you use the screws or screwless option.

> 3 dayLet 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.

> 3 dayIts very quiet, even when under high load. I personally dont think they look amazing, but Im not bothered by the aesthetics of your PC, I have seen these in black and red elsewhere if that appeals to you. Really easy to install with the dampening anchors.

> 3 dayThis fan didnt move the amount of air I was hoping for. They are silent, but with that it seemed the design was a little misguided. I purchased these to go on the from and rear of my Antminer S5 as a replacement fan for the loud monster one that comes with it. This fan couldnt displace the air fast enough with a push/pull setup. I would of rated this a 4 or 5 if it somehow had the ability of chaining 2 together, but the silencers on the corners restrict that. All in all it was silent as advertised.

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.
