Greater than one weekHow do they make and sell these fans for $20? Hands down the best case fan Ive ever used. Packaging is top notch and it comes with extension and split cables. Rubber mounting system is simple to use and eliminates vibration. Only complaint is the tan/brown color scheme but I dont have a window in my case anyhow.

> 3 dayThese fans are very quiet. There are three of these fans in the case, and the only noise I hear is the GPU fans when I play games. I used the rubber nubs to install all three fans. They are holding up to dust very well with only a bi-yearly cleaning.

Greater than one weekBest ever quality and design in 20 years of building PCs. WELL WORTH the little extra $$. The quietest fan anywhere. Packaging and necessaries fit for a king.

Greater than one weekMoves about 30-50% more air and makes 2dB less noise than the 7 year old Cooler Master A12025-12CB-3JN-F1 it replaced (varying specs for the Cooler Master). Nice and quiet.

> 3 dayLa ventola è davvero ottima, fa la giusta aria (non eccessiva ma quella che serve) ed è inudibile.
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.
