> 3 dayAnother great fan by Noctua. I have it mounted in the bottom of my Corsair 750D blowing up to my Graphics Card, and it is staying perfectly cool while making no audible noise.

> 3 dayOther reviews have said it all. Incredibly powerful cooling, and just about dead silent even at its max RPM. Well made, nothing about it is flimsy or loose. Noctua are hands down the best fans on the market for just about any PC cooling purpose you can think of.

> 3 dayI dont really like the color scheme but the fan seems to be technically wonderful. Very quiet and high quality. This is the brand I would put at the top of my list if I needed to purchase fans in the future.

> 3 dayNiente da dire a parte che il colore è inguardabile. Ventola perfetta non fa assolutamente rumore. ne ho installate frontalmente al case e sono fenomenali!

Greater than one weekOttima ventola da 12cm utilizzata per limmissione di aria allinterno del cabinet. Utilizzata in PWM con il controllo della velocità in base alla temperatura interna risulta essere sempre silenziosa nel suo funzionamento anche al salire dei giri. Inoltre scatola completa di numerosi accessori cavi e adattatori.

> 3 dayReplaced stock case fans with 2 Noctuas. These are almost inaudible, especially if you choose to add in the Silent adapter (included with the fans).

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.
