Description

The NF-P12 has been specifically developed for applications such as CPU coolers that demand superior pressure and airflow performance. Thanks to psychoacoustic optimizations like the Vortex-Control Notches, the new SCD drive system and Noctua's premium-grade SSO-Bearing, the NF-P12 achieves exceptional quietness and long-term stability. Proven NF-P12 Design Tens of thousands of quiet cooling enthusiasts swear by Noctua's classic NF-P12. Its impressive quietness, excellent performance and impeccable, time-tested quality made the P12 a default choice for 120mm quiet cooling. Read more Pressure-optimised Nine-Blade Design Specifically developed for high-impedance applications such as CPU coolers, water-cooling radiators or cases with tight fan grills, the NF-P12 provides superior pressure and airflow performance. Self-stabilizing oil-pressure bearing Noctua's well proven SSO-Bearing technology guarantees supremely quiet operation and exceptional long-term stability. Vortex-Control Notches Noctua's signature Vortex-Control Notches split up trailing edge vortices and thus spread the fan's noise emission over a wider range of frequencies. This measure makes the NF-P12 sound more pleasant to the human ear.

  • Noctua keeps delivering with top-quality products
I got three of these bad boys on a weekend and put them into my case. Replaced 1 NZXT fan that died and 2 more cooler master that I could hear squeaking from. After putting in these new fans, it was so nice to hear them hum in harmony and decrease my case temps by a few degrees. In the future I plan on getting a CPU cooler from Noctua as this current cooler I have is just the standard 1700 AMD Wraith cooler. The only thing that bothers me is the price point, and by bother I mean its not really a big deal. $70 ish for 3 ultra quiet fans isn't bad, but it just feels a bit overpriced for fans that have been on the market for a long time. Overall I'd give this product a 9.5/10 as it fits all the requirements of what a enthusiast fan should be. Now to wait for Noctua to make PC cases. ... show more

  • It sounded like a vacuum cleaner
I bought an Antec rack-mount computer case about 8 or 9 years ago. I needed this type of case configuration for my recording studio. I use computers for recording work. Most everything around me is rack-mounted so it made sense to rack-mount the PC too. Ambient/mechanical noise is a no-no in this field. If I can hear it, so can a microphone (especially a large diaphragm condenser mic). All these years I never bothered to hook up the front panel fan. I sort of instinctively knew it was going to generate noise so I relied on internal cooling (large CPU fan, power supply fan, fanless video card, etc). Never had an issue. But from one rebuild to another, the internal cooling seemed to get less and less. The new PS I bought has a fan but the fan doesn't turn on at all unless the internal temp exceeds a threshold. I felt the current rebuild needed some additional cooling so I decided to hook up that unused front panel fan. It sounded like a vacuum cleaner. I could hear it in the other room. I can only assume that case fan manufacturers many years ago gave no thought whatsoever to ambient noise. Maybe they figured this case/PC was going to end up in an isolated IT room somewhere. There was no way. I had to replace it. I looked around, did a little research. Some of the better PC builders (in this field) were using Noctua fans so I just followed their lead. This fan mounted right into the available front panel fan slot. That part was a simple install. The package came with four smallish screws and four rubber vibration insulator stand-offs. You choose one or the other mounting solution. I just went with the metal screws. I didn't think vibration was going to be an issue. Originally, I wasn't sure what to do with the low-noise adapters. There are two different types included with the fan: LNA and ULNA. They're just shorty extension cables with a resistor soldered in-line. The LNA version supposedly reduces RPM to 1100 and noise to 16.9 dB. I decided to try the LNA version first. For some reason the fan didn't work. I removed the LNA adapter and just went "straight-in" connected to an available fan connector on my MSI motherboard. The fan started working immediately so there must be some issue with these adapters and certain motherboards. In BIOS, I can adjust the fan speed easily so I played around with the different settings. The fan was quiet at all settings but more quiet as I reduced the RPM setting. I chose a middle setting. Re: noise. The fan makes noise but compared to what I had before, it's night and day improvement. I can hear the fan if I get close enough to the case, but I don't think the noise level is going to pose a problem as far as recording is concerned. I would never record anything that close to the computer case anyway. I can feel cool air blowing through some small ventilation holes in the rear of the case so I can tell this thing is moving plenty of air. I'm not an expert on case fans. I couldn't tell you the advantages or disadvantages of one brand to another. But this particular brand/model seems very high quality. It moves air (which is the whole point) and it's quiet. It's not as quiet as no fan, but it's quiet enough and should be absolutely fine for general purpose (non-audio) needs. These days, it seems like the CPU and other internal components are more heat tolerant than before. But audio users often have DSP sound cards and other heat generating devices that mount inside the case so those need to be dealt with. I'm very pleased with this purchase and Amazon got it to me in a couple of days. They absolutely rock when it comes to shipping! ... show more

  • My Vote for Best Radiator Fans - No Question
This is my 5th Noctua purchase in total and my second build to utilize their fans exclusively. When it comes to quality and performance delivery, I'm not sure you can do better than one of these brown beauties. I thought it was prudent to write a new review since this is the first one I've purchased from Amazon. I new right away this would be different; the fan doesn't have the plastic covers on the corners like my previous NF fans installed on my Corsair H60 in my multimedia PC. It doesn't come with the low-noise adapter or the PWM splitter cable in the PWM version packaging, but that was expected. I purchased the 3-pin version to replace the stock radiator fan on my EVGA 980 TI Hybrid graphics card. To put it bluntly, this fan made a HUGE difference in audible sound and keeps the cooler at lower temperatures. WIN/WIN Since you can't see the fan due to the radiator setup, the color is a non-issue. For applications where colors will be present and you're going for a "themed' look, you can plasti-dip the outside of the fan any color to match. I wouldn't recommend painting or dipping the blades due to balance issues that could occur due to uneven painting. That being said, the color doesn't bother me so much anymore, but I did decide to use the light grey "redux" version of this fan in 140mm for my Kraken X61 AIO cooler and the performance is the same. In conclusion, if you have the need for a static pressure fan without PWM connection, this is a solid choice. If you are looking to replace the stock fan on your AIO cooler for a graphics card, I can't imagine anything that'd outperform this other than some $50+ special German design. Noctua is well-worth the cost and will last for years and years. ... show more

  • Ugly brown but a powerhouse fan.
I've replaced all my computer case fans with Noctura fans. I wish there were more color options, but in the end, the performance was more important than the looks. These fans move quite a bit of air and they were substantially quieter than the corsair fans I had previously. I've noticed that since replacing the last fan, the temperature of the inside of my case dropped 2 degrees. While that may not sound like a lot, I feel like it's a great improvement considering the corsair fan I replaced, which started making a whirling noise. The fans come mostly in a tan color with slightly darker coppery brown corners that are rubber to reduce noise. I don't like the screwless rubber things that they send with the fan, I didn't feel like they secured the fan good enough to my case, so I did use the screws. I have more fans than my tower initially supports so I do have a fan adapter and these work just fine with it. I'm able to control my fan speeds with the app from my fan adapter or from within the bios. I can't recommend these fans enough! You get what you pay for and what you get with these are good quality fans. ... show more
