With SSO2, the rear magnet is placed closer to the axis to provide even better stabilisation, precision and durability. g. a 2000rpm 40mm fan may be quieter than a 1500rpm 120mm fan) and from fan design to fan design (e.

The fan is PWM and, in short, this allows it's spped to be controlled via a suitable controller - motherboard or, as in my case, a seperate controller. Designed for pressure demanding applications such as heatsinks and radiators, the Focused Flow™ frame features eleven stator guide vanes that straighten, channel and focus the airflow, which allows the NF-F12 to rival the performance of conventional fans running at much faster speeds. The NF-A12x25 includes a silicone gasket that can be used when installing the fan on watercooling radiators or other applications that benefit from a tighter seal with the fan. Custom designed for the new Focused Flow™ frame and to work in tandem with the eleven stator guide vanes, the NF-F12's seven blade Heptaperf™ impeller has been carefully optimised to achieve a perfect balance between power and quietness.

With a Noctua cooling unit fitted, and my case fans replaced, my PC fell eerily quiet while still performing as well as it ever did and running a few degrees Celsius cooler than previously too. Equipment is becoming more frequently exposed to the elements as more facets of daily life digitize or become automated.

I had to adjust the curve that it only goes in to high rpm above 65C otherwise it was noticably loud for me (pc is lifted and behind the monitor).Combined with the optional NA-FMA1 adaptor frame that allows it to be installed on 140mm radiators, the NF-A12x25 is a great upgrade for 140mm-based watercoolers. Noctua is a cooperation between the Austrian Rascom Computerdistribution GmbH and the Taiwanese Kolink International Corporation and has been developing, producing and marketing high-end cooling components for several decades. Made of extra-soft silicone anti-vibration pads reduce the transmission of minimal vibration and are compatible with all standard screws and commercially available mounting systems or fan brackets used in CPU coolers. The Noctua NA-FK1 Redux Second-Fan Upgrade Kit is a second fan kit for the NH-U12S redux CPU cooler.

The Noctua NA-FH1 fan hub works great for powering multiple fans easily, and will keep them operating at the same speeds if they are matched up properly. When you open the box quality exudes - I love the colours of the fan and many don't - but unlike many I doubt that I will see them again until I have a problem with my PC and have to open the case up again. The NF-F12 is the first fan to feature the further optimised second generation of Noctua’s renowned, time-tested SSO bearing. You can change your choices at any time by visiting Cookie preferences, as described in the Cookie notice. The fan’s short 20cm primary cable minimises cable clutter in typical applications while the supplied 30cm extension provides extended reach when necessary.They mention that it comes with a handy assortment of attachments, including a Y-cable and low noise adapters.
