> 3 dayAt first I though how much for a case fan?. Then I read some reviews. Then I bought 2 of them, and honestly, theyre so good that I bought another 3 for my desktop server.

> 3 dayThis 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 dayJavais à la base deux ventilateurs fournis avec ma tour de lunité centrale. Après les avoir changés pour des noctua, jai cru que mon ordinateur ne démarrait plus tellement ils était silencieux. Par ailleurs je suis entièrement satisfait du design sans défaut, le packaging est très propre et Noctua nest vraiment pas radin sur la multitude daccessoires fournis !

> 3 dayNot much to say -- theyre expensive but worth it. I have 5 in my case and never hear them, which is what I want in a fan.

> 3 dayTo keep it simple, I has always been using Corsairs fans and sometime Cooler Master but after Noctua Id never go back to any others, why?

Greater than one weekThese fans push a lot of air and do so quietly. I could see these holding up through future builds. The added cables make the fans well worth the price of entry.

> 3 dayInstalled on the outside of my case to waft some cooling air over my memory & mobo heat pipes. Its as quiet as all the hype would suggest. Works fine with my fan controller. Odd colours, but hey, its quiet :)

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.
