> 3 dayIve been using Noctua fans for awhile now, and with my latest build Ive been focusing more on aesthetics. I was using a prettier black fan with white details but the noise bothered me. So I went back to the silent, solid performer fan company, Noctua. Nowadays they have fans that arent brown which made the decision to switch to them all that much easier. But after installing them in my system I do feel a slight regret. The noise levels are great, hardly audible at 100% load. However even in my monochrome build with silver/gray RAM it doesnt seem to look quite as good as the previous fans. Black with gray accents, or anti-vibration rubber of a different color could have helped the fan look better. And yes Im aware of the industrial fans but I was looking for something to fit my color scheme that was quieter than my first choice of fans, and between the brown anti-vibration mounts and from what Ive read men undervolting performance/noise levels I still think this was a better option for me.

> 3 dayI finally gave into the hype and picked up Noctua fans for my PC after having one of them come with my 3D printer. I must say that these easily beat any other fan that Ive had and I have not been skimpy on the budget in the past, either. Built quality is top notch and the sound is non-existent. I noticed that when falling short on fan screws, I had another fan that would vibrate just enough to cause noise because it had only 2 screws. I took 2 screws off the Noctua fan and used them on the other fan. Being positioned the exact same way, the Noctua fan does not have any vibration on only 2 screws whereas my other high-cost fan does. Anecdotal, but interesting comparison.

13-06-2025Very quiet, no PWM tick. Not as ugly as usual Noctua fans, but I wish they would just make a black or dark gray one.One star off because Noctua just cant make a good looking fan, despite the age of PCs with viewing windows.

Designed for efficient case ventilationTypical PC case ventilation applications require high airflow but only medium static pressure. The NF-S12B has been specifically designed for high airflow efficiency and low noise in order to provide best results in these so called low impedance applications . |
SSO-BearingCombining the proven concept of hydrodynamic bearing with an additional magnet that supports the self-stabilisation of the rotor axis, Noctua"s time-tested technology has become synonymous with supremely quiet operation and exceptional long-term stability. |
Bevelled Blade TipsReducing critical rotor stator interaction, Bevelled Blade Tips permit to combine extended leading edges and a higher blade surface area with quieter operation and thus form a cornerstone of the fan"s outstanding efficiency. |
Colour-customisable with NA-SAVP1 anti-vibration padsThe fan’s frame can be outfitted with Noctua’s chromax line NA-SAVP1 anti-vibration pads. Available in black, red, blue, white, green and yellow, these pads not only damp minute vibrations but also allow the fan to be colour-customised in order to coordinate it with popular build colour schemes! |
