NoctuaNF-P12 PWM, Premium Quiet Fan, 4-Pin (120mm, Brown)

Highly recommend these.

This is a brilliant case fan. It is quiet but still manages to push a lot of air. The fan feels very well built, much more-so than my Corsair AF140s which I replaced with this Noctua fan. The rubber mounts supplied ensure that there is no vibration and they work very well. I am using only noctua fans in my Corsair 300r case and I am able to turn the fans down to 50% and achieve almost complete silence. Overall I am very impressed with this fan, and Noctua fans in general. Although they come at a price premium, they are worth every penny if you can afford them and their warranty allows for a long lifespan. If you have the money, I cannot recommend these enough.

I have a Corsair H100i water cooler. The stock fans that come with it perform well but I found them too noisy. The next best choice was therefore this. Noctua are a very well known name when it comes to fans, and their color scheme (like it or hate it) is recognizable. This works perfectly well with the H100i and provides great cooling. I currently have it in a pull configuration but am planning to get another pair for a push-pull.When these speed up or slow down, the noise is barely audible and stays below 20dbIf the color scheme is a big turnoff for you, search for the Noctua Redux line, they are slightly cheaper and come in a gray-ish color.

These fans are excellent for environments where you need high airflow at reasonably high static pressure, for example, on heatsinks or in tight builds. They run quietly and reliably and I would recommend them for the use cases stated above.One thing to note is that these fans are not compatible with the anti-vibration pads for the corners of the fans found on the likes of the chroma fans, however, you could modify the pads or the fan to accommodate these, otherwise you can use some mounting tape to achieve the same effect, however, I doubt that these fans will introduce much vibration into your system.

Noctua fans are pricey but do perform well. This fan has high static pressure -what that means is it is particularly good for any coolers with fins very close together or radiators in eg.closed loop coolers such as the corsair H100. It does a really good job in that setting.I used two to replace the stock fans on an Antec 920 closed loop cooler. They were much quieter and produced much better cooling. The only disadvantage is that the unusual blade shape makes an odd whining type noise at maximum rpm, which is more irritating than most comparable fans. Thankfully below 1000 rpm they are nearly silent and still perform extremely well.Pros+ great performance on radiators or coolers+ quiet but pushes a lot of airCons+ fan blades produce annoying whine at maximum speed+ expensive

Whisper quiet, with a good rate of airflow... What more can you want from a fan?I got two of these to replace some corsair fans that I was using, and although I was expecting a reduction is noise, just how much quieter they were, managed to shock me.Often when running fans in PWM mode, I notice an audible whine, especially so at very low speed, yet these manage to rev as low as ten percent, without any annoyance.If you are worried about value, do not be afraid of paying the little extra for these, it's money well spent.

As others have said, this is a very high quality item. If you've ever bought case or CPU fans before you'll know the general quality available. This Noctua fan rises far above.It is impeccably packaged along with a 4-pin extension cable, a speed-reduction cable and four silicone anti-vibration mounting pins, all neatly laid-out in a plastic tray within the cardboard carton.Fitting the fan is as easy as any other depending on what use you make of it. For me this meant attaching it to my Zalman CPU cooler using the Zalman clips.On first use I was surprised to hear nothing. I wondered if the fan wasn't turning and dived into the PC BIOS to check. Sure enough it was, at a mere 365rpm. One of the stand-out features of this fan is the built-in micro-controller that smooths out the PWM signals used to regulate fan speed. Lesser fans turn the extremely rapid on-off switching this involves into a kind of buzz that varies with fan speed. With the Noctua that is a thing of the past. Their system works very well.The warranty this item comes with looks very generous and given Noctua's confidence in offering it, I can only assume this quality fan is designed to last.For any future fan purchases I will certainly be looking at the Noctua range first for a suitable item.Highly recommended

Very quiet, very good.This particular model NF-P12 is very quiet but airflow very steady, fine for 'normal' CPU cooling or for a machine with a low load, would query using this for a 24/7 rendering machine or something that might need extra airflow if ambient air temps increased.For a an OC 6500K overclocked CPU on a Corsair aircooler in an ITX, swapping this out has been great so far and so silent

Da die Lüfter in dem Neuen Gehäuse viel zu laut waren mußten neue her. Diese erfüllen genau das was ich gesucht habe . Genung Luft zur kühlung und dabei schon leise. Hier sage ich klare Kaufempfehlung

Excelente ventilador si te importa el rendimiento sin tener un ventilador ruidosoLa sonoridad de este ventilador es prácticamente inexistenteCambie mi confiable artic p12 , que era my bueno ,pero subiendo las 1300rpm se volvía audibleEste Noctua mantiene las temperaturas iguales al artic ,pero a menores rpm y con un silencio totalLa fuente de poder se escucha más que este ventilador ,estoy muy contento con la compraNo son ventiladores baratos ,pero justifican su precio con el bajo sonidoYo valoro eso y por eso compre nuevamente un ventilador noctua

I purchased 4 Noctua fans in Jan 2017 for my server. 3 are working fine now 27 months later. 1 broke in February. I still give them 5 stars as:1) they do feel of good quality and i'm generally very happy with them, low noise, air movement etc. all good2) problems occur but when they do, does the mfg stand behind the product 6 year warranty? Yes they do.I'm happy.My only, and i mean only constructive criticism - the process for the warranty replacement is a bit reactive, reflexive vs a proactive focus of getting a customer back up and running immediately. Specifically, I sent a warranty request, they responded and asked for more info (serial number), then they wrote back wanting a photo of the fan disabled and the letter in the photo (all fine). Then they placed the order for the replacement which came a week later. So If my server was down due to the fan breaking, it would be off-line for 1 to two weeks. I get the reason for the process but it would help if they just told you up front what to provide to accelerate a ligit replacement.Again, i'm happy and I would and have bought more of their products.

Super matos!Utilisés dans un boitier Be-quiet Silent base 800 en full noctua:- 2 Noctua ULN ultra silencieux 140mm en facade avec Le noise reductor pour un fonctionnement constant à 100% à 640 RPM- 2 Noctua NF-S12A PWM un en pied pour apport d'air frais, le second en extraction arrière à 60% jusqu'à 0-60°C et 100% à 70°C CPU ils tournent à 750 RPM (avec le noise reductor et à 60%)- 2 noctua NF P12 PWM extraction watercooling sur rad 240 en top du boitier, avec le même réglage que pour les 2 NF-S12A. Pas de Noise reductor appliqué par contre ici. Ils tournent entre 700 et 800 RPM en moyenne et jusqu'à 1300 RPM à 100% (dès 70°C) (inaudibles sous les 900 RPM)Le tout est "quasiment" inaudible. A moins d'avoir la tête à 10 cm de la tour.Le combo silent base 800 et full Noctua est absolument magistral pour les amoureux du silence tout en gardant des performances quasi inégalées.Les NFS-12A PWM avec l’adaptateur noise-reductor pour diminuer les RPM max sont inaudibles jusqu'à 800/900 RPM et font un peu plus de bruit passer cette marge mais le niveau sonore reste bien meilleur que les pure wings 2 et silent wings de chez be-quiet livrés avec la tour à 50% seulement et qui sont pourtant déja trés bien, c'est pour dire. Ils sont parfaits pour une utilisation boitier et dans un silence absolu.Question performance mon Ryzen 5 1600x OC à 4,1Ghz 1.375V reste, avec cet ensemble, à 25°C au repos et monte à 65°C MAX en full CPU à 100% sur du stress test de plus de 20 minutes. Et dans un silence absolu. Sous la barre des 20 dB jusqu'à 60 °C. ParfaitLes ULN de 14 cm en facade un tuerie de silence à 640 RPM 12 dB (15 à 800) ils sont inaudibles. Si vous cherchez des 140 mm en facade ou extraction, là où ils sont le plus exposé pour etre entendus c'est ces derniers qu'ils vous faut pour un silence absolue malgré des performances supérieures.Commentaire commun pour les reviews des trois types de ventilateurs donc un peu long mais je préfère vous donner une vue plus global de la performance du produit avant votre possible achat et ca évite de poster trois reviews pour chacun des produits.Noctua une valeur sure performance et silence et une garantie sur 6 ans constructeur qui rassure.P.S. Deux bémols:- Prix correspondant à la qualité donc un peu élevé.- Si vous cherchez du design partez sur les gammes chromax black car il faut l'avouer, visuellement, cette gamme Noctua n'est pas la référence ;) .Boitier fermé pour moi donc aucun soucis si vous êtes dans le meme cas. Sinon après ce marron, blanc cassé marron, c'est une marque de fabrique des australiens. Votre PC est signé et reconnaissable si fenêtré ou ouvert ;)

Nice product.
