> 3 dayVery sturdy, Im sure it will last a long time. And pretty noiseless of course!

> 3 dayA great fan overall. During light load and idle I literally cant hear my PC, and I live in a very quiet place.

> 3 dayUn produit très silencieux, par rapport à mon ventilo dorigine. Tellement silencieux quune fois lordi remonté, jai fait un test sensor pour massurer que le ventilo tournait bien ! Et il tourne, mais... en silence :)

> 3 dayCe ventilateur a remplacé le ventilateur dorigine du NH-U12P SE2 qui ne fonctionne pas en PWM (détail qui mavait échappé à la commande). Il se fixe donc sans difficulté et le silence est au rendez-vous. Au fil du temps je me suis mis à apprécier ce look marron/beige très caractéristique de chez Noctua. Les coins en caoutchouc sont utiles mais senlèvent un peu trop facilement à mon goût ...

> 3 dayAs always, great Noctua quality. Their products are a bit expensive, but very much worth it! Really the only downside is the colours, if you have a themed PC build. My case doenst have a window, so I dont really care about the colour scheme.

29-09-2024My computer tower was starting to sound like a leaf blower. I purchased this fan to help with that. For some reason the mobo 4-pin PWM header had the safety-slots in a different location, but the wire colors were the same. I bent the mobo plastic header back a little and the fan works great. The included y-adapter and resistor to slow the speed is a nice value-add. I feel like no expense was spared when making this product.

> 3 dayUsed in a home theater PC. Didnt need the noise reducer. This thing is quiet.
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.
