> 24 hourThese fans are great, my computer is silent when idling and stays a few degrees cooler than with the stock case and AIO fans I had.

> 24 hourAs with my Noctua A14 SWM fans, these have blocked 80-90% of fan noise in my PC which I have crammed a 2080 Super into an NZXT h510i. Not the best case for airflow, especially with a massive GPU. This has helped tremendously.

> 24 hourThey are worth it if you have the budget and dont like noisy fans. I replaced my stock corsair fans that came with my case and its a world of difference.

> 24 hourAmazing fans! Easy to install. I have 7 in my PC and even at 100% they are fairly quiet. Move more air than expected.

> 24 hourI swapped out the rear fan on my PC as the original fan was part of a water cooler system and designed primary to push air through a radiator. When I changed out and moved my radiator system to the top of my PC, I wanted a fan that runs as lower rpm but still move air and this one does that well. Seems to be doing the job well and didnt really care for the LED lighting, so this was a good solid choice.

> 24 hourI bought the NF-S12A PWM to replace a 3 pin Fractal Design Dynamic X2 GP-12 I was using as an exhaust fan in the back of my PC case. System temps dropped 5 degrees Celsius under load and Im sure its the quietest fan in my case right now. Cant speak to long-term durability but the materials used seem pretty standard. So far Im very pleased!
Having received more than 100 awards and recommendations from international hardware websites and magazines, the NF-S12A is one of Noctua’s most renowned and popular 120mm fans. Its outstanding airflow efficiency and superb acoustics make it ideal for case cooling and other low-impedance applications. The chromax.black.swap edition combines the NF-S12A’s signature quiet cooling performance with an attractive all-black design and a bundle of swappable red, white, blue, green, yellow and black anti-vibration pads that allow the colour-customisation of the fan to match individual build colour schemes. For further customisation, a wide range of accessories such as coloured cables, additional anti-vibration pads and anti-vibration mounts are available separately. Topped off with Noctua’s trusted premium-grade SSO2 bearing and more than 150,000 hours MTTF, the NF-S12A PWM chromax.black.swap is the perfect choice for all users who value individual, focused build aesthetics just as much as class-leading quality and performance.
Trusted NF-S12A design
The NF-S12A features the third evolution of Noctua"s classic Straight Blade Design that has earned its S12 series countless recommendations from hardware journalists and enthusiasts around the world. Further optimised for even better airflow/noise efficiency, it makes the NF-S12A an ideal quiet case fan.

Swappable anti-vibration pads in 6 coloursThe NF-S12A PWM chromax.black.swap comes with 4 black, white, red, blue, green and yellow NA-AVP1 anti-vibration pads respectively. By combining the various colours with black or leaving off the pads on one side, the fan can be coordinated with most popular build colour schemes out of the box. Additional NA-SAVP1 sets for outfitting both sides in one colour can be purchased separately. |
SSO2 bearingThe chromax line fans feature 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. |
Anti-Stall KnobsThe 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. |
AAO frameNoctua"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 |
Maximising colour choices, Noctua’s chromax.black.swap edition fans can be colour-customised using the included swappable anti-vibration pads as well as optional anti-vibration mounts and cables. This makes them ideal for enthusiasts looking for true premium-grade fans that can be colour-coordinated with popular build themes such as all black, black & white or black & red.
