NF-F12 PWM chromax.black.swap, Premium Quiet Fan, 4-Pin (120mm, Black)

I needed an extra fan to add to my NH-U12S so I purchased another F12 for a push-pull configuration. Firstly, as with Noctua products the packaging was extremely solid, arriving with anti-vibration pads in numerous colours to suit different builds. I stuck with the black ones as i already had the extra thick black ones from the Chromax U12S. The fan comes with an extension cable which was crucial for getting it to a Y splitter on the backside of my case, making my build neat and tidy. However, this fan does not come with a Y splitter so you will need to purchase that separately should you feel you need it. The fan is extremely quiet, only really getting loud at very high RPM (1300 or so) but since there are two now on my heatsink I very rarely hear them over my case fans (Corsair ML140s). The Noctua quietness reputation certainly holds up with these F12s. These help to keep my CPU temps around 30-33 degrees at idle and around 50-55 degrees whilst gaming. If I could buy 3/4 for my case I would, however these are relatively expensive fans. They are absolutely worth it in my opinion for the noise and airflow performance alone though, but they aren't available to buy in bulk (anymore) which is a shame. Overall, this is an extremely well performing fan with great airflow, noise levels and aesthetics, with the only minor drawback being the price.

Works great. Not too noisey that its borthersom and keeps the pc cool

Looks good and the most important factor is it is very quiet and cools my system nicely. I like the different colour dampeners also.

Owning these is like owning designer clothing or a pair of designer shoes: You can't get much better than this, but you can still get good options for far less money. Pros: - Unmatched performance for heatsinks and radiators. - Near silent at low and medium loads, and non-intrusive at high loads - Clean and stealthy appearance, ideal for blackout or two-tone PC builds - Changing anti-vibration pads is a breeze - Decent build quality Cons: - Below-average performance for case airflow - Cheaper fans, such as Arctic's P12 fans and bq's Silent Wings and Shadow Wings offers similar (or a little worse) noise-normalised performance at a much lower price

The Noctua NF-F12 PWM Cooling Fan Black Swap was recommend to be bought by my computer-literate son as a replacement and upgrade for existing products in the family computer. It replaced a less efficient fan that was making considerable noise (to be fair this was the original computer fan). The product was delivered ahead of time, was well-packaged and exactly as ordered. The fan proved easy to install and, in association with Noctua's NH-L12S Heat Sink, immediately commenced doing the job for which it was bought. The product is considered to be good value for the purchase price. Well satisfied, as with other Noctua products.

So previous to buying these fans I had Corsair fans that came with my AIO, to say they were loud would be an understatement, more like a jet engine taking off. So I went for these and thought they can’t be any worse. So after buying 6 of these all I can say is that I was blown away(no pun intended), they are so quiet, and the airflow is amazing my 3070 graphics card(yes they do exist) used to run at a temperature of 55 degrees while idling, now it runs at 34 degrees. Even when the fans are on 100% they aren’t annoying and I would say they sound like a small desk fan(remember I have 6 of these). I would doubt anyway would have fans running at 100%, if you do then you need a better airflow case. Also you can change the colours of the corners, you get these rubber edges that help reduce vibration, I chose white but you can chose what ever colour suits you, they look very smart, and they are easy to mount. Anyway, I can’t recommend them enough, they may cost more than some, but are worth the money.

I highly recommend these PC case fans. I purchased 3 to complete my gaming PC. They are super quiet, whilst still offering top notch performance. They are more expensive than others... but I would still highly recommend them. I'm planning on buying another 2 to replace the fans that came with my case, as they are very loud in comparison.

These fans make a pleasant operating sound. By that I mean you can only hear the whooshing of the air they move, rather than any horrible buzzing or whining noises other fans can make. If you find fans making buzzing or rattling or whining noises annoying, then get these, you will hear a big difference. Very good quality fans. These have good static pressure, so use then as radiator or heatsink fans.

The fan itself is quieter than the air colliding with my radiator

These fans are amazing and worth every penny! Not only are they super quiet even at high speeds, they are also great at pushing air keeping a nice steady flow of air. The only downside to these fans is unfortunately they do not come with RGB lighting, but honestly I'd much rather have cooler temps while still having minimal noise occur from the fans spinning. I have ordered 3 of these fans and they all work flawlessly. Again the cooling capability of these fans are good. Look wise the fans are black with the options to put on colored anti vibration pads on the corners of the fans. Will be ordering 2 more in the near future.

I've bought alot of these over the years, noctua is the only company ive bought fans from where i had absolutely no issues with, bearings are ultra quiet and quality is as high as they get, they just wont fail me.

Oramai uso solo prodotti Noctua da molti anni e, che le ventole siano nel classico colore marrone (che a me piace), o chromax, sono sempre le migliori ventole e non hanno ma tradito le aspettative. Questa ventola, NF-F12 PWM, è adatta per dissipatori e radiatori e l'ho comprata per installarla su un Noctua NH-D15 chromax.black al posto della ventola frontale (che è da 14cm). Non potendo ancora usare il dissipatore nuovo la sto provando sul mio ecchio dissipatore Noctua e si comporta molto bene: migliori temperature del processore ed è più silenziosa della precedente ventola Noctua anche a velocità di rotazione elevate. Nella confezione sono presenti anche 24 cuscinetti antivibrazioni, 4 per 6 colori. Se consiglio di comprarla? Certo che sì, perchè ci si deve pure pensare?

NF-F12'yi alacaksanız ya soğutucu için ya da radyatöre monte için alın, kasa fanı olarak uygun değil hava akışı çok kötü. Statik basınç için üretilmiş bir fan, hava akışı için yüksek rpm'de çalıştırmanız gerekiyor o da inanılmaz sesli çalışıyor. 120mm Noctua kasa fanı alacaksanız NF-A12'yi alın.
