Featuring the latest technological advances in aerodynamics, including anti-skid protrusions, the NF-S12 takes the cooling performance for which the S12 clbres are renowned to the next level.
120mm PWM silent box fan

The success of the S12 design
The NF-S12A is the third generation of straight blade fans from Noctua's successful S12 range, which has won many awards and accolades from the trade press and users around the world.
|
 |
Anti-stall protrusions
The anti-stall protrusions reduce the flow separation phenomenon that can occur at medium or high resistance. This feature improves the range of operation without stalling.
|
 |
AAO frame
Noctua's AAO(Advanced Acoustic Optimisation) frames are equipped with anti-vibration mounts and benefit from exclusive optimisations to push the limits of performance and silence.
|
 |
Stepped Inlet Design
Noctua's Stepped Inlet design adds turbulence to the inlet flow, allowing a gradual transition from laminar to turbulent flow. This reduces noise emissions, generates a more massive flow and increases suction power.
|
 |
Inner Surface Microstructures
As the blade tips move in a boundary layer influenced by the presence of an Inner Surface Microstructure, the flow separation that takes place at the suction level becomes almost non-existent.
|
 |
Integrated anti-vibration dampers
The integrated anti-vibration mounts, made of extra soft silicone, limit the transmission of vibrations while ensuring perfect compatibility with standard mounting systems.
|
 |
Smooth Commutation Drive 2
Noctua's latest SCD system ensures smooth operation by eliminating torque variations and switching noise. As a result, the NF-S12A remains very quiet even at close range.
|
 |
Exclusive PWM electronics with SCD
Compatible with PWM automated speed control systems, the NF-S12A PWM features the latest NE-FD1 PWM IC that incorporates SCD technology to eliminate the noise associated with PWM switching.
|
 |
Extensive wiring options
The first fan cable is 20cm short to minimise space requirements for common applications. The supplied 30cm extension cable will solve any distance problems.
|
 |
6-year manufacturer's warranty
Noctua fans are renowned for their high quality and long service life. As with all Noctua models, the NF-S12A has an MTBF of over 150,000 hours of testing and is backed by a full 6 year manufacturer's warranty.

Mounted in an old Antec P182 which hosts a 7600K OC at 5GHZ which is under NH-C14. It's a treat, top quality, golden silence and great packaging. Frankly do not hesitate Noctua does not have anything more to prove!
For the first time in my life I had fun building my own PC, and although it took me weeks to carefully select some components, I knew that for my watercooling block I would use Noctua. I've never had one before, but I've always heard great things about them, and I now understand why: these little monsters combine silence, performance, build quality and functionality. Driven in PWM by a Corsair Commander PRO, the 3 units mounted on my radiator never make themselves heard, and only run at the speed I need (which I can control as needed). My watercooling circuit, which only cools an i7-10700K CPU, has never yet exceeded 30°C, even after several hours of gaming. In short, this is the first time I've tapped into Noctua, but clearly not the last.
I was looking for a fan with associated connectors. Several cords are supplied, the product is of high quality finish.
When in operation, you can't hear it.
What can I say, it's a Noctua, PWM, ultra quiet even at full blast, high airflow and low noise, perfect for a case exhaust fan.
Complete packaging.
Mounted on my LDLC QT01, in extraction, with three ASTRO 12 LED fans that inject the air, the cooling flow is perfectly balanced.
This is exactly what I wanted. It's a pity that it doesn't come in an LED version.
I bought two of them and they are fitted to the front of my mATX case (ANTEC P50). With four pin connectors, the fans are totally controlled by the motherboard. In addition to this, there is a good flow of air that silently waters the entire interior of the tower. The packaging is complete: noise protection bracket, screws, Y-adapter and extension cable are all included.
What a pleasure!
