Case fan 120 mm

Overview
Noctua introduces the PWM version of its NF-P12. There are tens of thousands of silent cooling enthusiasts who swear by the NF-P12. Its astonishing silence, outstanding performance and consistent, flawless quality have made the P12 a benchmark for quiet 120mm cooling.

Nine-blade design for enhanced pressure
Specially designed for environments where high pressure is required, such as CPU fans, water-cooled radiators or cases with narrow ventilation grilles, the NF-P12 PWM delivers outstanding pressure and high flow.

Vortex-Control slots
Noctua's unique Vortex-Control slots disperse the vortexes developing at the tip of the blade and thus spread the sound emissions over a wider frequency range. This feature allows the NF-P12 PWM to generate a more pleasing sound to the human ear.

Exclusive PWM circuit with SCD
Enabling full automatic PWM speed control, the NF-P12 PWM uses the newly developed proprietary NE-FDI PWM circuitry that incorporates Smooth Commutation Drive (SCD) technology. By promoting smoother torque pulses, SCD eliminates switching noise and allows the fan to run smoothly.
eliminates switching noise, allowing the fan to run quieter at lower speeds.

SSO-Bearing
By combining the proven principle of the hydrodynamic bearing with the addition of a supplementary magnet that enhances the stabilisation of the rotor axis, Noctua's SSO-Bearing technology has proven itself. It stands for extremely quiet operation and outstanding long-term reliability.

Extremely low current consumption
The NF-P12 PWM consumes only 0.6W, which is 50% less than other PWM fans on the market. This is not only environmentally friendly, it also reduces the electricity bill: compared to a traditional fan (2W), the savings after 5 years of use will pay for half the price of the NF-P12.

Low noise adapter
The NF-P12 PWM is supplied with an L.N.A. adapter that allows the maximum speed to be reduced from 1300 to 900rpm. The L.N.A. adapter can be used to stabilise the fan speed at 900rpm or to limit the speed when using PWM control.

    and 3

    Added to the front of an "Air-Flow" box next to 2 other similar ones.
    Royal, the ventilation is very good and above all silent.
    Noctua's reputation is well established over time.
    This type of fan can also be installed on a RAD.
    I would recommend

    The top

    High static pressure fan, ideal to put on a watercooling radiator. I took 4 of these fans for my half and me, replacing the disastrous basic fans of the AiO Lepa aquachanger 240 kits. Golden silence and more efficient cooling (5°C~) with an ultra supplied bundle.
    It is this fan that made me enter the Noctua sect and from now on I swear by this brand for fans, for the design we like or we don't like, but even if we don't like the quality and the performances are there.

    The price is quite high but 200% justified, buy with your eyes closed.

    Excellent

    This is the third one I've had.
    Still as good as ever.

    It moves the air, without noise!
    I highly recommend this fan.

    Mounted in a Fractal Design R5, in front, perfect!
