> 3 dayI have a media computer in the living room that had a really noisy fan that came with the tower. I replaced it with this one and it is a night and day difference. If the tower didnt have a light on it, you wouldnt be able to tell if it is on or not.

> 3 dayPrese due per il case e sono silenziosissime. Un po complicato il montaggio con le viti in gomma, ma il risultato è stupefacente.

> 3 dayMuy silencioso y de calidad como cabia esperar. No hago mediciones, pero si noto un buen flujo de aire y practicamente ni se oye

> 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 dayIt is quiet and effective. I love Noctua, high quality and I even got used to the weird colors. Lots of airflow from a small fan.
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.
