At 12V, the A12-15 PWM managed the same airflow as the ARCTIC Bionix P120 and wasn’t far behind the Noctua NF-P12 redux, yet it was the second quietest fan on test. This earned it an enviable efficiency score, although there was a hint of drone noise. At 7V, it was barely audible and matched the NF-P12 redux and Cooler Master SF120R for airflow, while producing less noise. While 5V saw airflow fall off a cliff, it was exceptionally quiet.

"The Noctua A12-15 PWM manages to hold its own in the airflow stakes despite slower speeds and size disadvantage, and it’s extremely quiet too. It’s the perfect choice if you’re in a tight spot and can’t fit a full-sized 120mm fan." (Antony Leather, Custom PC)
