NF-S12A FLX,NF-S12A PWM,NF-S12A ULN
The Noctua 1200RPM fans (FLX and ULN) posted generally better scores than the SilverStone AP123 fans despite running at lower RPMs and being quieter. I think the results speak for themselves. [...] So we have a great deal of performance flexibility across the whole NF-S12A series, we have the extensive Noctua accessory bundle with each fan giving you even more flexibility to use your fans whichever way you want, we have the usual top notch build quality and reliability backed by Noctua’s 6 year warranty, we have mind boggling levels of research and development that have gone into these products and most importantly a price which is still competitive despite this best-in-class excellence that you just don’t expect to find on most fans. As I always seem to say with Noctua fan reviews the price is justified by the premium nature and excellent all-round capabilities of the product. If you want some excellent case fans then you cannot go wrong with the NF-S12A series. My only concerns are that relatively speaking the price is high, but like I have said I still feel this is justified, and again the aesthetics will not be to everyone’s tastes but the brown and beige colour scheme is what makes Noctua products unique. Without it they would just blend into to a market full of average fans when their fans are certainly far from average, though I do feel they could have made an effort to braid the cables all the way into the motor so the multi-coloured cabling on the rear isn’t visible.
"Noctua products never cease to amaze me with their innovation and performance and if I was going to put some 120mm fans into my case then these would be my first choice, without a doubt. That said, these fans are in my opinion deserving of the eTeknix Editor’s Choice award." (Ryan Martin, eTeknix.com)
