Excellent value for money. Not a sound, I can't hear the fans spinning 50cm away from me. High throughput too, graphics card and processor under 40°C at rest, can go down to 30. Stays at 70 when playing.
I took these 3 Noctua fans to make my gaming PC quieter, and for once these fans are not suitable for this purpose.
Indeed, Noctua has several references in 12 with different speed, noise and blast speed and power... It's a shame I forgot about this :)
It's a shame I forgot about it :) In short, I should have chosen the 1300 which will do the job properly (order already placed).
These 1200 on the other hand are great on my external 360 radiator.
So remember to choose well according to your needs and 8/10 for not putting this crucial information forward.
Equal to its reputation. Not top of the range for this price (no silicon pad to isolate the fan) but quiet enough for my eyes or rather ears!
I had a slight problem with overheating due to my choice of a tower that was not sufficiently ventilated, so it did not help me with the flow rate.
Otherwise, the sound level is absolutely perfect.
Wanting to improve the cooling of my case, I let myself be tempted by this Noctua 12cm. Well, I totally confirm the good reviews about it!
Good airflow and especially really quiet!
A choice to make with closed eyes!
As usual, LDLC.com has done a great job on the delivery. Always on top!
Bought as a replacement for a standard fan (entry level), big acoustic difference!
Easy to assemble, just needs the rubber fixings to make it perfect (supplied with 4 screws only)
LDLC: Pro and fast as can be.
The fan works much better than the low-cost ones I had previously installed. Much more consistent airflow and totally silent. I highly recommend it!
Please note: contrary to Noctua's usual practice, this fan is supplied without additional accessories.
I bought a whole bunch of fans (5 in all and of different sizes from Noctua at the same time to equip my case, (an Antec P50 Window).
I plugged this Noctua NF-S12B Redux-1200 PWM on the same socket as the processor fan (also a Noctua) (Y cable). The rotation speeds are synchronized. The Noctua NF-S12B Redux-1200 PWM is placed on the front panel and sends cool air close to the processor in silence, even at full load.
Almost inaudible.
I use for the air circulation of my box the 1 in intractor the other in extractor the box remains cool while in silence.
The cables are sheathed and long enough to fit anywhere on a mini-itx box.
Use to replace and optimize a Fractal Core 500 box.
These are my first NOCTUA of this type, and I must admit that it is the silence in low load, what I sought with my FRACTAL DESIGN. I put them in place of the 2 CORSAIR fans of the H100i liquid cooling kit, and it's great.
I even wonder if I should replace the 2 other FRACTAL DESIGN fans of the DEFINE R5 case... even if they are also quite quiet.
Purchased as a replacement for the fixed speed NF-P12 that came with my NH-D14 fan, it allows me to benefit from the CPU temperature dependent speed control, using pulse width modulation (PWM).
Using the software suite supplied with my motherboard I was able to create the fan profile that suits me (speed curve according to the CPU temperature). As a result, it is completely forgotten in office use and rather discreet even in gaming sessions. Only when I pushed my CPU to 100% in a benchmark did I hear it express itself, and in the end I was expecting worse, even though there's no denying that it makes noise at 1200RPM.
