> 24 hourSilent fans, my hard drives sounds louder than them.

> 24 hourThis fan is great! It runs silent, moves a good amount of air, and has good static pressure (which is great as I have this in front of my radiator). Ive seen people complain about the color scheme, white and maroon will not match with any other components Ive seen. But I really dont care about the look (windowless case) as long as it runs well. And boy does this baby run smooth.

> 24 houradvertised as being super quiet. Wrong, try another.

> 24 hourThis fan does not have very high static pressure so I would only recommend using it as an exhaust fan, and not an intake fan that has to pull through a hard drive or constricted grills. The noise dampening rubber mounts are a little tricky to put on, and one tip is they are very durable so you can pull on them quite hard to stretch them.

> 24 hourCome da titolo rispetto ad una Noctua P12 montata in estrazione in un case mini itx ho ottenuto temperature più alte di 2-3 gradi in stress test con Aida64. Il punto a favore di questa S12A risiede nella sua estrema silenziosità anche al 100%, suppongo che la discrepanza nei risultati risieda nella particolarità della mia situazione. Comunque è la migliore ventola che ho mai provato quanto a silenziosità in rapporto alle temperature, tantè che comunque ho lasciato questa installata nel pc

> 24 hourExtremely efficient (quiet) at moving large volumes of air as an unimpeded case fan, doesnt perform as well for a radiator fan. Use it as your intakes

> 24 hourNot a high-flow fan but works very well at extremely low noise output to pull air out of the case. Good for low-wattage nearly silent applications.

> 24 hourhatte mir mehr erhofft, bei niedrigen Umdrehungszahlen gibt es wie immer unangenehme wenn auch leise Geräusche obwohl ja neue Technik fürs Lager, neues Lüfterraddesign, zusätzlich Gummi-Ecken zu den schon bekannten Gummipöppel zur Aufhängungsentkoppelung

> 24 hourHo montato la ventola col riduttore di velocità incluso, in questo modo la velocità si attesta intorno ai 1000rpm (senza riduttore andava circa a 1250rpm). È molto silenziosa, ma come detto da altri acquirenti, si sente il flusso daria.
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.
