> 3 daySound level ? What sound ? Unbelievably quiet and does the job perfectly in the top exhaust position in my Full Tower.

> 3 dayExcelente ventilador, lo usé para bajar la temperatura de dos discos NVME M.2 sin embargo cual fue mi sorpresa al tener una baja de temperatura global en el case. Lo instalé en la parte inferior de mi Case Thermaltake y mantiene la temperatura alrededor de los 30 grados. Cabe mencionar que tengo el procesador Core i5 8600k en overclock a 5000 Mhz. Agrego imagen con detalle (Addlink y Force son los NVME M.2 y en color rojo parte izquierda se puede ver la temperatura del procesador). Totalmente recomendado este Fan !!

> 3 dayThe quality of these fans are great but....I am not a fan of the mounting system. It does provide for a low noise mount but for my specific case it was more trouble than its worth. I have a Corsair Vengeance C70 case and the mounting knobs did not play nice with the proprietary grommets corsair uses. Also, given the location of the mount, it might be difficult even without the grommet issue. I would not, however, let that discourage you from buying this fan. It is great.

Greater than one weekAfter replacing 2 stock fans and installing 2 of these fans in my setup my rig dropped around an extra 2*-3*C.

> 3 dayVraiment le top en matière de ventilateur silencieux, cela fait 30 ans que je suis dans linformatique à monter moi-même mes PC depuis quelques années et je navais jamais connu ce silence.

> 3 dayExcellent. Seems very well made, surprisingly robust and heavy. Packaged like a premium product. Quiet. Good air flow. You can obviously get fans a lot cheaper, so is it worth the premium? Depends on the budget I suppose. Its a real quality item; get this and you wont have to think about case fans again for a very long time.

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.
