Fan for 120mm high performance case

Overview
Noctua NF-F12 industrialPPC: Performance without compromise
Specially designed for demanding industrial environments with high cooling performance, safety and protection requirements, the NF-F12 industrialPPC (Protected Performance Cooling) offers more power and robustness than the original Retail model for which the brand is renowned.

Thanks to its outstanding design performance and the use of an all-new three-phase motor, the NF-F12 industrialPPC delivers superior airflow and pressure levels while maintaining low noise levels and low power consumption compared to equivalent high-efficiency models on the market. The NF-F12 industrialPPC 's glass-fibre reinforced polyamide chassis and certified level of water and dust protection make it ideal for use in demanding environments.

The SSO2 Bearing has an MTBF of over 150,000 hours. With proven reliability and a 6-year manufacturer's warranty, the NF-F12 industrialPPC is the ideal choice for the most extreme applications requiring increased airflow and uncompromising reliability.

NF-F12: a proven and popular design
The NF-F12 has established itself as THE top-of-the-range solution for 120mm ventilation needs. Its proven efficiency has convinced tens of thousands of customers worldwide.
industrialPPC version - 3000 rpm
Thanks to its high rotation speed (3000 rpm), the NF-F12 industrialPPC-3000 PWM offers a significant increase in performance compared to the 2500 rpm of the retail model.
Three-phase motor
Noctua's industrialPPC fans are equipped with a three-phase motor that ensures smoother overall operation, significantly reduced vibration and unprecedented energy efficiency.
Highest energy efficiency
The three-phase motor fitted to the industrialPPC version provides a 10% reduction in consumption at comparative speed (2000 rpm).
Glass fibre reinforced polyamide construction
The impeller and frame of the Noctua industrialPPC fans are made entirely of glass-fibre reinforced polyamide. This process provides exceptional strength and durability.
Protection against water and dust
This level of protection not only ensures that this model has excellent resistance to dust deposits, but also resists possible water drops (the equivalent of 3mm of rain per minute).
Focused Flow Fan
The fan has eleven fixed blades that strengthen, channel and direct the airflow, allowing the NF-F12 to compete with traditional fans operating at much higher speeds.
Varying Angular Distance and Vortex-Control Notches
The NF-F12's fixed blades are arranged in an irregular angular orientation and feature Vortex-Control Notches. These features allow the sound signal to be spread over a wide frequency range and thus generate a type of noise that is more pleasant to the human ear.
Heptaperf turbine
The Heptaperf turbine of the NF-F12 is equipped with seven blades and offers a perfect balance between power and silence thanks to advanced optimisations.
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 even further.
Stepped Inlet Design
Noctua's Stepped Inlet design adds turbulence to the incoming flow, allowing a gradual transition from laminar to turbulent flow. This reduces initial noise emissions, improves flow cohesion and increases suction capacity.
Inner Surface Microstructures
The tips of the blades move close to the inner surface of the duct. The flow separation that takes place at the suction level is almost non-existent. This optimisation reduces noise emissions from blade movement, improves airflow and pressure levels.
Integrated anti-vibration dampers
The integrated anti-vibration mounts, made of extra soft silicone, reduce the transmission of micro-vibrations while ensuring compatibility with fan mounting systems and fan clips.
SSO2 Bearing
The NF-F12 industrialPPC is equipped with the second generation of Noctua's renowned SSO Bearing, which benefits from the latest technological advances.
Metal Bearings
To ensure the highest quality of workmanship, durability and stability, the NF-F12 industrialPPC is equipped with a CNC machined solid copper bearing.
Exclusive PWM IC with SCD
Compatible with PWM automated speed control systems, the NF-F12 features the exclusive NE-FD2 PWM IC for three-phase motors.
6-year manufacturer's warranty
As with all Noctua models, the NF-F12 industrialPPC has an MTBF of over 150,000 hours and is backed by a full 6-year manufacturer's warranty.
Optional modifications for industrial customers
In order to meet the expectations of industrial customers, various accessories, options, custom packaging and certifications are available on request.

    Impressive

    No need to say, the finish is amazing (even if the packaging is very cheap), the performance is phenomenal ! Mounted in push-pull on a rad 120 watercooling, I never crossed the bar of 60° in full (and gained 18°c compared to the old fans). But this has a price: the noise! Basically (and having 3 75W fans in my room running non-stop at max) I'm anything but picky about noise pollution: BUT this fan is inaudible above 2500rpm, it's a real instrument of auditory torture! I had to PWM it at 2500rpm max to avoid going crazy). I had to set it to 2500rpm max to avoid going crazy). So take it with full knowledge of the facts, because my PC is quite far from my office, and yet the noise was driving me crazy. It's not 48 decibels, but 63! So go for the 2000rpm version if it's for a bedroom tower! Your ears and your mind will thank you.

    Perfect

    For cooling a tower that acts more like an oven than anything else, they are perfect.
    Even at low speed, the airflow is superior to other brands of fans and is completely inaudible.
    Be careful though, because after 50%, you won't hear anything in your room (except these fans). Same comment on the 140mm.

    One more Noctua Perfect

    I do not regret my purchase of this Noctua fan.
    It is a joy in my case.
    I bought 3 of this model and I notice that it is not noisy except in the extremes but it is logical.
    So very good product.

    Watercooling mounted muffler

    I bought this fan to mount on a watercooling system to replace the fan that was sold with it. I haven't had a chance to test it to its full potential yet, but so far I haven't heard it.

    Perfect

    I took these fans to use on a 360mm radiator and I'm delighted, in normal use, not very noisy, but when you have to blow, it's a blast "convelableyfaut" 5 stars well deserved for this quality product
