> 3 dayHigh quality, very quiet. Comes will all the extra cables and adapter. Even the adapters are well done with protective shielding and heat shrink.

> 3 dayGood and very silent case fan, which I control throug the fan control utility of my Asrock motherboard based on the motherboard temperature sensor. I installed the silencer, which lowers the maximum fan speed. The fan is running at 400-800 RPM, the temperature of my Samsung EVO970 is lowered by 17 degrees Celsius from 62 to 45. I mounted the fan in a ML-06E mini PC Silverstone case, replacing the noisy Silverstone 15 mm fan.

Greater than one weekI have bought a few of A14 F12 P12 A9 in the past and now S12. None of them has disappointed me yet. If you want the best balance between noise and airflow, Noctua will not disappoint you. My only wish is they will never release a RGB version of all their fans. Otherwise, I would have to replace all the Noctua fans I have now.

Greater than one weekWorks fine and does help keep the gaming computer cooler as long as the side cover is off. However, if you put the side cover back on it doesn’t work well. Gave it a 3 star because of the side cover issue.

> 3 dayI dont really like the color scheme but the fan seems to be technically wonderful. Very quiet and high quality. This is the brand I would put at the top of my list if I needed to purchase fans in the future.

> 3 dayThis is one of my favorite product purchases in the last few years! These fans are extremely quiet, powerful, and of great quality. Everything works as advertised.

> 3 dayThis is an amazing fan - I used two to replace both of my Cooler Master Sickleflow 120mms in my V6 GT CPU fan - noticeably quieter, or shall I say - I cant really hear them in my case like I used to. Sometimes I wonder if my computer is even on...

Greater than one weekLove these fans. Noctua fans are for people trying to get the best CFM vs. sound pressure. These are as expected, a good price at Amazon vs. elsewhere.
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.
