Its outstanding airflow efficiency and superb acoustics make it ideal for case cooling and other low-impedance applications. The chromax.black.swap edition combines the NF-S12A's signature quiet cooling performance with an attractive all-black design and a bundle of swappable red, white, blue, green, yellow and black anti-vibration pads that allow the colour-customisation of the fan to match individual build colour schemes. For further customisation, a wide range of accessories such as coloured cables, additional anti-vibration pads and anti-vibration mounts are available separately. Topped off with Noctua's trusted premium-grade SSO2 bearing, more than 150,000 hours MTTF and 6-year manufacturer's warranty, the NF-S12A PWM chromax.black.swap is the perfect choice for all users who value individual, focused build aesthetics just as much as class-leading quality and performance. chromax.black.swap edition Maximising colour choices, Noctua's chromax.black.swap edition fans can be colour-customised using the included swappable anti-vibration pads as well as optional anti-vibration mounts and cables. This makes them ideal for enthusiasts looking for true premium-grade fans that can be colour-coordinated with popular build themes such as all black, black & white or black & red. Swappable anti-vibration pads in 6 colours The NF-S12A PWM chromax.black.swap comes with 4 black, white, red, blue, green and yellow NA-AVP1 anti-vibration pads respectively. By combining the various colours with black or leaving off the pads on one side, the fan can be coordinated with most popular build colour schemes out of the box. Additional NA-SAVP1 sets for outfitting both sides in one colour can be purchased separately. Set Contains: 1 Review: Noctua fans are honestly like magic, they're both very powerful and quiet. I installed mine as the rear exhaust for my NZXT H500. As per headline this fan is extremely quiet, even pegged at 100% power I can barely hear it. Not to mention that's without even using any anti-vibration pads on the the case side. Chromax fans are black and can be colour matched easier than the normal brown Noctua uses, which on top of the 6 year warranty, outstanding performance and being nearly silent, pretty much makes them the best PC fans available in my opinion. The one downside to the Chromax fans is they lack most of the accessories included with the standard line. They don't include the low noise adapter, fan splitter or anti-vibration mounts, they replaced those with a bunch of coloured anti-vibration pads instead. These are definitely a great buy. If Noctua's not the seller though, wait for them to restock. Some sellers are price gouging hard with these, selling them at nearly double what Noctua does. Review: Ho preso due ventole della Noctua NF-S12A da 120mm per migliorare l'air flow del mio case, infatti vanno montate nel case. Sono ottime da installare, in estrazione o immissione hanno un eccellente efficacia del flusso d'aria e sono super silenziose, insomma sono ideali per il raffreddamento del case. Quando il postino mi ha consegnato il pacco di desertcart (in anticipo rispetto alla consegna stabilita) contenente le due ventole mi sono accorto che aprendole tutte e due, in una ventola lo scatolino dei gommini anti vibrazione non era sigillato come l'altro ed era un pò strappato, mi sono anche accorto che mancavano le viti. Ho contattato subito il produttore Noctua e l'ho fatto presente: non me l'hanno fatto ripetere, si sono scusati per il disaggio e mi hanno spedito un set di viti. Purtroppo sono imprevisti che succedono l'importante è rimediare. Sono stati cortesi e professionali si vede già da questo che è un'azienda seria che fa prodotti di prima qualità, le ventole sono un pò care ma come si sa la qualità si paga. Sono soddisfatto e per tutto questo metto 5 stelle.

Da ich mir erst ein Noctua CPU Lüfter (NH-12DL chomax black) kaufte ich mir noch den Noctua NF-S12A PWM chromax black für die Gehäuserückseite. Ich bin überrascht wie leise und kräftig der Lüfter ist. Selbst 60% Leistung sind in meinem Falle ausreichend und somit ist der Lüfter beinahe lautlos. Die Anti-Vibrations-Pads machen ihren Job gut und kommen in verschiedenen Farben. Die Qualität der Noctua Lüfter ist sehr hoch und überzeugte mich von der Marke. In Zukunft werde ich hier wieder kaufen! Positives : - Hohe Kühlleistung und trotzdem angenehm leise - gute Anti-Vibrations-Pads in verschiedenen Farben - hohe Qualität der Materialien und Verarbeitung - einfache Installation Negatives: - etwas teurer als andere Lüfte, aber die Qualität ist mir das wert ## Frequently Bought Together - Noctua NF-S12A PWM chromax.Black.swap, Premium Quiet Fan, 4-Pin (120mm, Black) - Noctua NF-A14 PWM chromax.Black.swap, Premium Quiet Fan, 4-Pin (140mm, Black) - Noctua NF-A12x25 PWM chromax.Black.swap, Premium Quiet Fan, 4-Pin (120mm, Black) --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.vu/products/256239116-noctua-nf-s12a-pwm-chromax-black-swap-premium-quiet-fan](https://www.desertcart.vu/products/256239116-noctua-nf-s12a-pwm-chromax-black-swap-premium-quiet-fan) --- *Product available on Desertcart Vanuatu* *Store origin: VU* *Last updated: 2026-05-07*
