Se você procura algo durável, que ventila mesmo sem fazer ruido, pensa em algo bom, é esse Fan.... Vai lá, compra sem medo!!!
Aunque su precio es elevado (al momento de escribir esto me costaron $700 cada uno), todo se siente que está bien invertido en lo que obtienes, pues desde su empaque te das cuenta que estás ante un producto de calidad muy superior.Los ventiladores tienen un peso que se siente elevado en comparación a otros ventiladores. Noctua incluye herramientas de montaje de un plástico muy suave que ayuda a eliminar vibraciones y lo que es mejor, hace que puedas instalar estos ventiladores sin usar tornillos.La instalación es bastante sencilla y las instrucciones son bastante claras.Todos los accesorios incluidos se sienten de gran calidad (nada que ver con las compañías de siempre como Corsair o Cooler Master o NZXT, no hay comparación ni de cerca.)Ahora, lo más importante, las temperaturas y nivel de ruido en uso.Estos ventiladores los compré para mejorar las temperaturas de mi Zotac 1650 Super ya que en mi gabinete Inwin A1 Plus, la ventilación es muy deficiente debido a que tiene poco espacio para jalar aire.En la página de Noctua especifican a estos ventiladores como idóneos para gabinetes con espacio restringido o radiadores y aunque escéptico al principio, al menos pensé que ayudarían a bajar el nivel de ruido que hacía mi sistema en uso.No sólo el ruido bajó con estos ventiladores de manera notable, ¡las temperaturas de mi tarjeta de video bajaron alrededor de 17 grados!Con todo lo anterior, no me quedaba más que recomendar un buen producto como lo son estos ventiladores de Noctua, valen cada peso.Me gustaría una versión Chromax de los mismos para evitar el color beige y café de Noctua para mi siguiente ensamble, pero fuera de eso son lo mejor de lo mejor.
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.
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.
One of the 2 best fans on the market, easy to mount, moves a lot of air, excellent performance, lasts for ages and is dead silent, totally recommend it.
I just built my screaming Ryzen9 beast of a PC with a dual 120mm Corsair AIO. I foolishly figured I could cool the volcano that is Ryzen9 with minimal noise on a dual radiator. Not only could I still hear a slight whooosh from the stock Corsair fans at their lowest controllable PWM speed, but the CPU temps floated at 47-52C idle. I tuned up my fan curves to keep things relatively quiet, but anything over 400rpm on the stock fans was audible.Worse yet, when I blasted the CPU with some full load tests, the case damn near took off and flew out of the room. Temps settled at a max 72C, but the fan noise was punishing. It is rare that I will ever get a full 24core load like that, but... I still have to know the limits of my system, right?Annoyed... I hit Youtube. Linus always uses Noctua fans and I kind of figured that was just product placement, not really performance based. How much better could Noctua fans really be...? The Amazon reviews just seemed like an exercise in cognitive bias: "Well I paid $100 to swap all my fans to Noctua, so they must be better... duh!" I've been building PCs for 20 years and I have always tried to stay away from 120mm fans in favor of larger 140mm (or even 200mm when my cases allowed). Bigger fan = slower speed & less noise for the same amount of air. At least, so I thought...I swapped the two front 120mm fans on the AIO for these glorious NF-A12's and I was shocked at the difference. SHOCKED I TELL YOU!Before I modified any of my fan curves, I noticed the idle temp average dropped about 2C--no tuning changes, just the new fans. However, that was running the AIO fans in the 400RPM range. I played with the PWM and discovered that anything under 1000RPM these A12's are pretty much inaudible. Therefore, I picked my idle setting up to ~800RPM. I can't hear a damn thing sitting at my desk, BUT... my idle temps are down to 38-42C. All I hear is the gentle whine of the AIO pump on its lowest setting. Seriously, its absolutely amazing how quiet these fans are. I honestly got down on my hands and knees to figure out if the fans were even spinning! Not until I had my ear 6" from the case could I hear anything. Fantastic.I swapped my top exhaust fan for a NF-F12, which is also pretty quiet, but I wish I had spent the extra $10 for another A12. This is not only because the A12's are even quieter, but their minimum PWM setting seems to be closer to 20% and I can't seem to control the F12's with less than 36%. For me this is fine because at anything below 50%, the F12 is also basically inaudible. However, if I was trying to truly build a ZERO noise box, I would want the lowest minimum duty cycle possible on the fans.The short story is this... I am a full Noctua convert now. I will NEVER build a PC with anything but A12's--until Noctua comes out will something better! I hate the color, but love the performance. I was really considering dropping down to a Ryzen7 just because I didn't like the high idle temps I got with fans tuned down to a tolerable whine, but not anymore! Quieter rig and 8C lower idle temps? Yes please! These fans are so worth the $30 each, it sickens me.
3 tane aldım, 1 exhaust + 2 intake olarak düşündüm. Sonradan 5 tane daha mı alsam görüntü icabı güzel olabilir diye düşündüm ama setupı kurduğumda hiç gerek yokmuş dedim. Çok sessizler Occt stres testinde bile duyulmuyor. Ve 9950x3d + 9070xt li sistemim hiç ısınmıyor. Stress testinde bile sıcaklık 80 derece olmadı. AAA oyunlarda ultrada bile 70leri geçmedi.

Next-generation performance
Highly optimised P/Q curve for all applications
The NF-A12x25 is a highly optimised next-generation 120mm fan that integrates Noctua’s latest innovations in aerodynamic engineering in order to achieve an unprecedented level of quiet cooling performance. It takes state-of-the-art technologies such as the AAO (Advanced Acoustic Optimisation) frame or Flow Acceleration Channelsand combines them with a record tight tip clearance of only 0.5mm, which is made possible by using the novel Sterrox liquid-crystal polymer (LCP) compound as well as a metal-reinforced motor hub and axis for ultimate precision. Following the approach of Noctua’s A-series, the NF-A12x25 is a true all-rounder that yields superb results in all types of usage, regardless of whether it’s in low-impedance, airflow-oriented applications such as case cooling, or high-impedance, pressure-demanding scenarios such as on heatsinks and watercooling radiators. The 4-pin PWM version supports fully automatic speed control via PWM fan headers and comes with a Low-Noise Adaptor to reduce the maximum speed from 2000 to 1700rpm. Topped off with exceptional running smoothness, Noctua’s reference-class SSO2 bearing and a rich bundle of accessories, the NF-A12x25 is a premium-quality product through and through. Its superior efficiency, cutting-edge construction and pioneering materials make it an elite choice for the most discerning demands.
Noctua’s 120mm fans such as the NF-F12 and NF-S12A are renowned as being among the best on the market and have received more than 400 awards and recommendations from the international press. With its further improved efficiency and novel, state-of-the-art engineering, the NF-A12x25 represents another step up in performance and manufacturing.
The NF-A12x25’s impeller is made from Noctua’s novel Sterrox liquid-crystal polymer (LCP) compound that features extreme tensile strength, an exceptionally low thermal expansion coefficient and damping characteristics that are ideal for reducing resonance and vibration phenomena in advanced fan-blade designs.
The NF-A12x25 has a record tight tip clearance (distance between the blade tips and the inside of the frame) of only 0.5mm. This highly ambitious design sets a new benchmark for 120mm fans and helps the NF-A12x25 to work more efficiently against back pressure, such as on heatsinks or radiators, by reducing leak flows through the gap between impeller and frame.
The centrepiece of the NF-A12x25’s motor hub is made entirely from steel and the axle mount is reinforced with an additional brass structure. In combination, both measures ensure ultimate precision and increased stability in the critical hub area.
The NF-A12x25’s sophisticated aerodynamic design allows for a pressure to airflow (P/Q) curve that is extremely strong in the critical mid-section. This means that the NF-A12x25 offers excellent performance in both static pressure demanding and airflow demanding applications.








Noctua's premium cooling components are internationally renowned for their superb quietness, exceptional performance and quality.
