    Needed 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!

    Easily cool down my 10070 even at 260 ppm. And fits my MATX motherboard perfectly.

    Just installed this on my PC , my last fan wasnt that loud but i could hear it while i was working in my office which annoyed me , this fan is barely audible ,, love it , glad a spent the extra few dollars , well worth it.

    Senza dubbio le migliori ventole presenti sulla piazza, che senza dubbio si fanno sentire in termini di spesa. Muovono un sacco di aria, a distanza di anni sono ancora silenziosissime e se proprio non vi piace il marroncino tipico di Noctua potete sempre prendere le colorazioni differenti a un leggero sovrapprezzo. La qualità si paga, ma in compenso non esistono alternative più prestanti per il mercato consumer.

    Been using this brand for the last 8 years, no issues. I was expecting 19db rated to be silent, but a low wind can be heard.

    Amazing nearly silent (I have to put my head up to the fan to even hear it) with a long warranty this should be the only fan you ever have to buy

    How can anyone complain about this fan? They probably installed it incorrectly so it runs at max rpm all the time (1200 rpm). I installed using 4-pin PWM. This fan is so quiet I cant hear it when it runs between 600-1200 rpm depending on my computers load. I now hear my refrigerator or environmental noises more. Ive included a video, its quiet even with the case side panel removed. In fact I believe my power supply fan is more audible, I may have to upgrade the PSU next. I attached this fan to my case and use it as an exhaust fan. I still cant get over the build quality of this fan, its very well engineered and seems built to last.

    I was unsure what to expect, when I purchased four NF-A14 PWM units and four NF-S12A PWM units for my development rig - which is an i7-4930K on a Sabertooth X79, housed in a Corsair Carbide 500R. All I knew, though, was that the stock fans on the case were obnoxiously loud and, likely, not as effective as they could be.

    Se non la conoscete Noctua è forse la miglior azienda di ventole e dissipatori ad aria per il mercato pc e le sue ventole possono essere utilizzate perfettamente anche su altri dispositivi. Le ventole in questione, come mi aspettavo, sono formidabili e principalmente sono state scelte per il migliore impatto acustico del modello(non che gli altri modelli siano da meno)perché utilizzate come ventole aggiuntive nel case. Inudibili. Il packaging è eccellente con tutto quello che vi serve per collegarle, come cavo splitter e low noise che tiene a rpm più bassi la ventole per un silenzio maggiore(in realtà per questo modello secondo me non ce nè bisogno) e inoltre le viti sono autofilettanti quindi fate attenzione quando le inserite perché non cè il filetto nel frame. Detto questo sono ovviamente straconsigliate se vi serve il modello con minor impatto acustico, altrimenti se vi serve più portata daria scegliete altro ma sempre Noctua

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 pads

Integrated 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 bearing

The 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 Microstructures

With 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

  • NA-RC7 Low-Noise Adaptor (L.N.A)
  • NA-YC1 4-pin PWM y-cable
  • NA-EC1 30cm extension cable
  • 4x NA-AV1 anti-vibration mounts
  • Fan screws

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.
