Noctua NF-S12A PWM chromax.Black.swap, Premium Quiet Fan, 4-Pin (120mm, Black)

The fan is awsome dont get me wrong but the cable is very hard to hide being a really short cable with an extension and there should be 8 black dampners for people who want a black fan

Great fan

Great cooling performance and extremely quiet. Below 50%, the fan noise is barely audible. But even above 50% they are still very quiet. And thanks to the anti-vibration pads, I have not experienced any vibrations, even on the max speed. Ive had problems with vibrations from other fans, even though they say their anti-vibration, but no issues with these. The cooling is great, keeping the inside of my PC cooler than the stock fans with a lot less noise. The only downside is that the cables are a little shorter than Id like them to be, but honestly they performer so well I cant complain.

While a little on the pricey side this fan is almost silent and ontop of that adds better airflow than the previous fans used for the computer.

Its a fan. It pushes air. It is quiet. Good enough for me. Pricey, but hasnt started squeaking or stopped spinning in the past 3 years of use.

I hear all these tech reviewers saying they are the best so I gave in to try it for myself. Well let me tell you these things are no joke. I purchased 3 as intake to my case. Moves tons of air and very quiet at idle. Idle noise was at 89 decibels with NZXT 120mm fans. With Noctuas it has dropped to 55 decibels!

These fans make great case fans. I swapped cases to ditch a 3000rpm iPPC fan that I was using, and this feels wayyyy better than night and day. The only issue I have with these fans is the cables. Noctua thought it would be a good idea to use this strange plastic composite coating on their cables, which is terrible for cable management, especially if you have to bend the cord. I got around this by not using the included cable and using my own y-splitter.

I have 6 of these in my case and even @80% I can barely hear them 2 from my head. Even with open back headphones at full load you can barely hear the pc running now. Very happy with my pc now. Cool and quiet.

They 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.

Please avoid any cheap fan. The Noctua NF-S12A should be strongly considered and should be in every computer. The material feels nice and coming from 2x Corsair fans (37db) from their AIO cooler, the sound difference compared to the Noctua NF-S12A is significant. Consider the Noctua NF-S12A over any fan.
