> 24 hourWhat else can I say? It is a Noctua and therefore of very high quality and function. It works quietly just like they say it does. Ive been using their equipement for years now. Have one of the Noctua NH-D14 coolers and it is still running perfect. Quiet and cool of course. This fan is just as well made and all their stuff is. If you want quality, buy Noctua.

> 24 hourDopo aver provato le noctua, potenti, silenziose e garanzia a vita, userò solo queste ventole, costano, ma durano per tutta la vita. Inoltre la confezione è spettacolare, sembra un dolce :-D

> 24 hourDoes exactly what it needs to. Not suitable if you need incredibly high air flow, otherwise it’s super quiet and the 4 I have keep my case cool

> 24 hourI bought this fan thinking... Its going to be competing with 2 x 140 top exhaust fans, better to make sure it will run without undue effort/stress to turn the blades when the other exhaust fans are doing their job. Whether or not this fan does what its suppose to do, hard to measure. But I will say that it does exhaust air sufficiently from the case, as expected when the 2 x 140 fans are running.

> 24 hourReplaced stock case fans with 2 Noctuas. These are almost inaudible, especially if you choose to add in the Silent adapter (included with the fans).

> 24 hourBought this to see the exceptional airflow claims for it, was not impressed, just seems like an average fan at a high price, would NOT recommend. Get the Noctua NF-A12x25 PWM instead of this (which I also bought), that fan is a jack of all trades and really impresses in all areas.

> 24 hourE una ventola molto rinomata e costosa ma effettivamente fa quello che ci si aspetta. Mi raccomando: è adatta alluso per il case e meno per altri impieghi.

> 24 hourA truly excellent fan - I was looking for something with strong performance and quietness. This fan delivers in every sense of the word. Using this as an exhaust behind my CPU, I saw not only a decrease in idle & load temperatures but a noticeable improvement in the noise department; this was a welcome change from the noise pollution brought on by my previous exhaust fan, a CM Jetflo.
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.
