The NF-S12A case fan marks the third generation of Noctua's classic S12 series, which has received over 250 awards and recommendations in the international trade press. With its advanced blade geometry featuring anti-stall knobs and the new AAO frame (short for Advanced Acoustic Optimization), the NF-S12A achieves up to 8% higher efficiency (airflow/noise level) compared to its renowned predecessor. The FLX version allows for three speed settings (1200/900/700rpm) through the included low-noise adapters, providing full flexibility in fine-tuning between maximum performance and virtually silent operation. Its excellent smoothness, the SSO2 reference-class bearing, and Noctua's proven premium quality make the NF-S12A a distinguished choice for noise-optimized case cooling.
