> 3 dayI bought a pair of these to replace the fans on my Corsair H100i CPU cooler and they are much quieter than the fans that came with the unit. The only problem that I had is that these fans are slightly thicker than other fans that I have used. One of the fans ended up hitting the motherboard ATX power connector after being installed. After playing with it for a while, I broke the fan blades and had to replace the fan. My solution for my problem was to use the fan as an intake instead of exaust fan. It was not what I wanted but it did the trick.

Greater than one weekQuiet and keeps things cool. I installed it on the side of my case as I had the vent but no fan. Dropped my case temp by 2-5 degrees. Cant hear it running but its so powerful I can feel a draft at my feet.

Greater than one weekVery quiet and good airflow. If youre only buying one or two fans, the abundant accessories will come in handy.

Greater than one weekI bought these originally, not knowing that my system needed 3 pin connectors. I could have still used these fans with the 4 pin connectors but I would have needed to get a pair of adapters. Thats okay, I will hang onto them for a future system build.

> 3 dayAfter receiving this on Monday I must say Im extremely impressed about how quite the fan is and it keeps my pc cool about the same as my old fan except its more quite... The only issue I have with is the y splitter cable... One of the 4 pin connector in the y splitter cable is missing a pin right in the middle essentially making it a 3 pin... so its like 2 pins, blank and pin.... I will atach a picture to show below

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.
