> 24 hourBin mit dem Lüfter vollauf zufrieden. Er ist im Gehäuse nicht zu hören und erzeugt einen guten Luftdurchsatz.Ist empfehlenswert.Er wird einwandfrei vom Motherboard geregelt.

> 24 hourRefroidit très efficacement mon boîtier (Streacom F12C) même à très faible vitesse (300 rpm), à laquelle il est quasiment inaudible à 20 cm. Le ventilateur est accompagnée dune myriade daccessoires fort utiles : rallonge, dédoubleur (y) pour brancher deux ventilateurs sur une même fiche, pour ne citer que les plus utiles.

> 24 hourAmazing fans as usual. Extremely quiet. They arrive in some of the best packaging youll ever seen, especially for a fan. They are 4 pin, so if you have the proper controller they can go as low as 20% on a fan controller, instead of 40% on a non-PWM controller. This fan style is not meant for use with Radiators or bad airflow areas. But on a standard fan slot it will MOVE air. Pair these fans with the Phanteks Lux Digital Halos and you got some beautiful looking fans since they are so reflective.

> 24 hourAs described, it is VERY quiet (especially when compared to the expired chassis fan that I replaced with it), and it moves a lot of air---no way to measure it scientifically, but the deflecting paper test suggests that the claimed CFM rating is probably close (obviously it will differ depending on the differential in static pressures on either side of the fan). Anyhow, it works for me.

> 24 hourViele Lüfter ausprobiert, die Noctuas sind - was die mitgelieferte Ausstattung und die Laufruhe betrifft - unschlagbar, eventuell die Lüfter von Papst sind noch in dieser Liga, sonst kommt da nichts mit (das ist, wohlgemerkt, nur meine persönliche Meinung und Erfahrung).
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.
