Product Features

• Anti-stall knobs
  The NF-S12A's anti-stall knobs reduce flow separation phenomena in medium to high impedance situations and thereby increase the fan's stall margin. This means that the NF-S12A is even more versatile than its renowned predecessor and can achieve better performance on heatsinks and radiators.
• AAO frame
  Noctua's AAO (Advanced Acoustic Optimization) frames feature integrated anti-vibration pads as well as Noctua's proprietary stepped inlet design and inner surface microstructures, both of which further refine the fan's performance/noise efficiency.
• Stepped inlet design
  Noctua's stepped inlet design adds turbulence to the influx in order to facilitate the transition from laminar flow to turbulent flow, which reduces tonal intake noise, improves flow attachment and increases suction capacity, especially in space restricted environments.
• Inner surface microstructures
  With the tips of the fan blades plowing through the boundary layer created by the inner surface microstructures, flow separation from the suction side of the blades is significantly suppressed, which results in reduced blade passing noise and improved airflow and pressure efficiency.
• Integrated anti-vibration pads
  Integrated anti-vibration pads made from extra-soft silicone minimize the transmission of minute vibrations while maintaining full compatibility with all standard screws and other mounting systems.
• SSO2 bearing
  The NF-S12A features the further optimized second Generation of Noctua's renowned, time-tested SSO bearing. With SSO2, the rear magnet is placed closer to the axis to provide even better stabilization, precision and durability.
