> 24 hourLäuft so gut wie lautlos und dabei vibrationsarm, gute Kühlleistung. Die typische Noctua Farbgebung bringt auch in PCs mit cleanem Look einen schönen Farbkontrast.

> 24 hourExcellent ventilateur, je lai monté en extraction sur mon ventirad et il est inaudible à moins de pousser vraiment le CPU et donc la vitesse de rotation.

> 24 hourNot quite what I was expecting. I hear a lot about Noctua, they are held in real high esteem among PC builders and enthusiasts alike. So it was a clear choice at the time of purchase. I bought it to replace the stock fan on my Cooler Master Hyper 212 EVO, but I was surprised to discover that this fan just isnt powerful enough to cool my i7-3770K at stock clock. I had to change the speed of this fan in the BIOS to 80% just to keep my CPU at an average of 28C to 30C. Decent fan, but not really meant for CPU cooling.

> 24 hourThis is a great fan. they are my go to fan on every build. not the prettiest fan in the world and if you are planning to show off your build with a windowed case, i probably wouldnt go with the Noctua. but if what you care about is silence and cooling power, noctua is the way to go.

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.
