NH-U12A
The NH-U12A easily cleared the nearby RAM and motherboard components, and operated very efficiently when left to throttle based on heat. At full speed the fans are audible while not being noisy, and they move a lot of air! Compared to competing 120mm fans with similar airflow, the NF-A12x25 PWM fans are at least several decibels quieter if not more!
The NF-A12x25 PWM fans are designed to be balanced between airflow and pressure performance, and are a great general purpose fan! They are the first Noctua fans to be built with Sterrox liquid-crystal polymer, prior models used the less stable Fibre-glass reinforced PBT. Increasing stability in the impeller with the new Sterrox LCP reduces vibrations, the primary goal in this case is decreasing noise.
"Noctua has done it again! The NH-U12A performed exceptionally well in testing while maintaining a reasonable size and noise profile." (Mark Watkins, Neoseeker.com)
