Noctua NF-F12 PWM, Premium Quiet Fan, 4-Pin (120mm, Brown)

Product Information

The NF-F12’s stator guide vanes are set out in Varying Angular Distance and feature Vortex-Control Notches. The NF-A15 features the further optimised second generation of Noctua's renowned, time-tested SSO bearing. Noctua is a designer and manufacturer of some of the most premium PC case fans and server chassis fans available on the market, which are famous for their superior cooling performance and low noise levels. Use of these and any missed payments may affect your ability to obtain credit from Klarna and other lenders.

Noise level and RPM speed: Please refer to the dB(A) specification of each individual model for selecting one that fits your requirements regarding noise and performance.The NF-F12 is the first fan to feature the further optimised second generation of Noctua’s renowned, time-tested SSO bearing. Designed for pressure demanding applications such as heatsinks and radiators, the Focused Flow frame features eleven stator guide vanes that straighten, channel and focus the airflow, which allows the NF-F12 to rival the performance of conventional fans running at much faster speeds.

The fans are more than I could have hoped for; quieter than the (very quiet) Kuhler pump at low speeds, running down to about 120 RPM, and still pretty quiet at full tilt, achieving a steady average 1500 RPM with less than the stated 10% variation.Both cables are fully sleeved and a 4-pin y-cable allows the connection of a second NF-A15 PWM fan to the same PWM fan header for automatic control. Both cables are fully sleeved and a 4-pin y-cable allows the connection of a second NF-F12 fan to the same PWM fan header for automatic control. Custom designed for the new Focused Flow™ frame and to work in tandem with the eleven stator guide vanes, the NF-F12's seven blade Heptaperf™ impeller has been carefully optimised to achieve a perfect balance between power and quietness. Integrated Anti-Vibration Pads made from extra-soft silicone minimise the transmission of minute vibrations while maintaining full compatibility with all standard mounting systems and fan clips used on heatsinks. Its 15mm slim design makes the NF-A12x15 ideal for space-restricted applications such as low-profile CPU coolers or HTPC cases.

which is made possible by using the novel Sterrox® liquid-crystal polymer (LCP) compound as well as a metal-reinforced motor hub and axis for ultimate precision. Topped off with the included USB power adaptor cable, OmniJoin™ adaptor set and 6-year manufacturer’s warranty, the NF-F12 5V is a premium choice for demanding 5V applications. Anybody who has been near their share of computer systems will appreciate that not all systems make the same amount of noise.

that reduces the maximum fan speed from 4500 to 3700rpm so that it can be fine-tuned for superior airflow or maximum quietness. This is one of my favorite fans out there, it is robust, silent in normal use, shifts a nice bit of air and has a 7 year warranty. Some people think these are ugly, but when I see these in someone's PC, it tells me they have good taste. Its superb running smoothness, reference-class SSO2 bearing and Noctua’s trusted premium quality make it an elite choice for the highest demands. If I had to find anything at all wrong with these fans the only thing I could mention would be that the silicone corner mounts made it slightly tricky to get the mounting bolts for the radiator engaged, as they add a little extra width.
