> 24 hourPensaba que gastarme veinte euros en un ventilador era una locura, pero luego lo monté en mi equipo y le puse el oído encima... el ruido no es bajo, es directamente inexistente. Y el caudal de aire es equivalente, si no superior, al ventilador que le tenía puesto antes. Repetiré con esta marca.

> 24 hourcant really complain much except the rubber mounting pins are hard to put it in. but if you have a knife, you can cut bit of meat out of that rubber pin to make it a bit easier to put through the mount holes. not a big deal.

> 24 hourNeeded to replace a noisy stock rear Case Fan. This was our, Go To brand of choice. Connected directly to Gigabyte GA-990FXA-UD5 Motherboard. Satisfied with Air Volume vs Noise. This Fan should outlast this PC System Build!

> 24 hourI needed a quiet fan for the low profile heat sink in my Home Theater Personal Computer (HTPC). I used a ASUS Z87M-Plus motherboard with ASUS Fan Xpert 2 Fan control software. Other PWM fans I tried would not spin down correctly and could not be calibrated to work with the automatic speed control of Fan Xpert 2. I installed this Noctua fan and it calibrated with Fan Xpert 2 perfectly the first time and now works to automatically control the fan speed based on the processor temperature. The fan runs full speed at 1200 RPM when the processor is at full load and slows to 250 RPM at idle. Even at full speed the processor the fan is quiet and at idle cannot be heard. Pros: comes with a full set of accessories, works great with Fan Xpert 2 where other fans wont and has a 6 year warranty. Cons: pricey compared to other fans. If I had purchased this fan to begin with I would have saved the days I spent troubleshooting my HTPC trying to find out the problem with the other fans not being sensed correctly by Fan Xpert 2. So much for being a cheapskate. Next time Ill buy this better fan to begin with.

> 24 hourInstruction on how to install the vibration dampeners could have been a little clearer but otherwise exceptional product.

> 24 hourNoctua is my go-to for cooling. Extremely silent fans, 100% of the time I dont even know when my fans are spinning.

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.
