Greater than one weekMoves about 30-50% more air and makes 2dB less noise than the 7 year old Cooler Master A12025-12CB-3JN-F1 it replaced (varying specs for the Cooler Master). Nice and quiet.

> 3 dayChe dire Noctua è una garanzia. La ventola è silenziosissima nonostante nel posteriore del case non sia riuscito a montarla con i supporti di gomma. Nonostante la silenziosità la quantità di aria spostata è sorprendente.

> 3 dayHo avuto già altre Noctua, ma questo modello non ha proprio intenzione di emettere alcun suono..

> 3 dayExtremely quiet, moves a lot of air. Worth every penny. 10/10 would recommend.

Greater than one weekBought this to replace a Corsair PWM fan that was rattling, after trying 3 different ones of the same model and having all of them rattle, I gave up and went with Noctua. The premium feel of this product is outstanding and they perform really well.

> 3 dayAs expected from Noctua, the fan moves a lot of air with hardly a whisper.

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.
