Noctua NF-A12x25 PWM, Hoogwaardige Stille Ventilator, 4-Pins (120mm, Bruin)

Deze robuuste ventilator geeft met het maximale toerental van 1200rpm een minimaal zoem-geluid.Met de los verkrijgbare NC-FC1 toerentalregeling kun je het toerental terugregelen en hoor je echt helemaal niks meer terwijl de ventilator nog voldoende lucht verplaatst.Niet twijfelen, dit is een top ventilator!

High end fan

Se você procura algo durável, que ventila mesmo sem fazer ruido, pensa em algo bom, é esse Fan.... Vai lá, compra sem medo!!!

no noise problem at higher rpms, overall great performance, 2-3 degree cooler temps when used on heat sinks.

I ordered 8 fans for my PC to switch out my old fans in my 2019 self-built, budget PC. All fans were replaced. The exhaust and intake, and for my new CPU air cooler (not noctua), the stock fans were replaced with these. After much research, the NF-F12 (pressure oriented) and NF-S12A (heavily airflow oriented/very low pressure), looked to be quite a sacrifice in performance over minimal price difference. AKA, the price:performance ratio wasn't worth it for me when it wasn't far from an A12x25 PWM.Spending $260 for some fans was painful, I'll admit. But when the mean time to failure rate for these fans is 150,000 hours or 17.1232877 *YEARS*, and their warranty is 6 years, my investment was made(felt) easier!First off: NoiseRight before these fans, I had the redux fans installed (NF-P12 redux-1700 PWM) as my 3 - 120mm intake ones for about 2 weeks, before returning them for these A12x25 fans. And man, they were LOUD. Most of the games I play really heat up my PC (Flight sim, Star Citizen, Apex Legends), therefore my fans are often spinning on the upper side of their RPM range.These A12x25 fans at high speeds can be loud, but they have a nice white noise with acoustics that sound like they were thoughtfully engineered. Honestly, anything above 1500 RPM is noticeable. Going into this brand of fans, I had expectations wayyy too high and expected them to never make a single sound. This is definitely achievable with limiting their speeds or getting fans with ultra low noise, but that starts to cost your cooling performance.Good news though! When my PC is idling, I actually have the opposite problem where the fans are so quiet that my refrigerator hum is no longer opposed and is singlehandedly driving me crazy with its "weeerrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr".Performance:Genuinely noticeable. Both with temp sensor reading and especially holding my hand over the exhaust fans. Again, in my previous set up had budget Arctic fans and had an AIO cooler. Now, I have all A12x25 fans and a Thermalright Phantom Spirit 120SE heatsink. My temperatures on my CPU as well as my overall GPU temps have gone down a lot. Like by 10C or more. Even on my CPU when I used the stock cooler fans on the Thermalright vs noctua fans, noticeable difference in temperature and noise there. The performance to noise ratio is phenomenal, with some games like Minecraft, GTA V, and a couple other low power games, performing well without any fan noise!Price:You get what you pay for in life. And with this fan, you DEFINITELY get what you paid for. That price is an excellent representation of its worth. I just hate myself that I justified a $33 price point per fan, but I am so happy.Quality:Fans are heavy and feel like they were built carefully and beautifully. They come with a LARGE selection of addons included in the packaging like rubber "Screws", metal screws, pre-installed anti vibration pads around each corner, even an extra anti vibration sleeve to even further decrease vibration, a y-cable, extension cable, and low noise adapter supplies. All this included in a fancy package, with more packaging information then you could ever want to learn about with the fans.I don't know how I feel about having so many attachments, as I only used 2 y-cable and 2 extension cords. Which leaves me with about 36 unused accessories total. Which I will obviously not throw away, but doubt I will use any more for many many years to come. So I am torn on that large surplus of accessories but at least you get more than you need, rather than needing more than you have. Having 8 fan packages open on your floor will definitely require some space, so be tidy when you open them to prevent having a large organizational mess.Overall:This fan came out on May 2, 2018, and has yet to be superseded by a better Noctua fan nor any other brand. I sincerely doubt that an upgraded version will be substantially better in the near future. Just like with video game graphics, they are already fantastic and it takes a lot to improve it just a little. I feel like it may be the same with aerodynamics and fans. In the end, this investment is worthwhile and will last you for possibly decades with a performance that will be unlikely exponentially bested in the fan's lifetime. Do yourself a favor and start upgrading your PC fans. Start with intake first, then exhaust. Then consider your cooling systems too, but as they have the least amount of fans that make noise, I suggest starting with your case fans first in my personal opinion.The only regret you'll have is that you didn't buy these fans first.

素晴らしいファンです。とても静かです。

Installed them on a radiator they keep the CPU much cooler, AND they’re much quieter than the ones originally came with it! No humming or loud noise even when they’re at high speeds, and at normal CPU usage you can barely hear them. These fans lowered my CPU’s temps by around 10-15c, I didn’t expect them to be that much better from the previous ones.
