> 3 daySo quiet, and all the included cable splitters and extensions made it really easy to wire up and install. I also have a color max fan in the back, and I feel that the components included in the brown noctua fans make the brown ones a much better deal.

> 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.

> 3 dayQuasiment aucune bruit et supers performances. Je suis également resté sur leur couleur originale pour mon boîtier gaming blanc et vitré. Le rendu final est très joli.

> 3 dayQuiet at full speed. I am running 6 of these in a Lian Li case and they keep my temps low while keeping the sound low.

Greater than one weekAfter receiving this on Monday I must say Im extremely impressed about how quite the fan is and it keeps my pc cool about the same as my old fan except its more quite... The only issue I have with is the y splitter cable... One of the 4 pin connector in the y splitter cable is missing a pin right in the middle essentially making it a 3 pin... so its like 2 pins, blank and pin.... I will atach a picture to show below

> 3 dayI cannot describe in English words how amazed I was at how quiet the Noctua fans are after installing them. Please allow me to demonstrate my appreciation in the form of equivalent silence written in the form of ellipses:

Greater than one weekLazienda austriaca non tradisce mai, queste sono le migliori ventole per lairflow del tuo pc, spostano un sacco di aria e sono silenziosissime, non adatte per radiatori o dissipatori, ma solo per il case.
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.
