Noctua NF F12 PWM 120mm Fan

Noctua NF-F12 PWM 120mm Fan:

The Noctua NF-F12 PWM 120mm Fan is an award-winning, pressure-optimized cooling solution that has set a benchmark for 120mm fans. Developed over two years, its innovative design focuses on creating outstanding static pressure and channeling airflow efficiently, making it particularly effective for heatsinks and radiators. This fan combines advanced aerodynamic measures with Noctua’s signature quietness, ensuring superb performance for demanding PC cooling applications.

Key Features for Superior Static Pressure Cooling:

Focused Flow™ Frame: The standout feature of the NF-F12 is its unique Focused Flow™ frame, which incorporates eleven stator guide vanes. These vanes straighten, channel, and focus the airflow, transforming it from a broadening cone to a concentrated cylinder. Consequently, this design significantly enhances static pressure and allows the fan to effectively push air through dense obstructions like radiator fins, rivaling the performance of conventional fans at much higher speeds.

Advanced Aerodynamic Optimizations: The fan’s stator guide vanes feature Varying Angular Distance and Vortex-Control Notches. These measures are crucial for spreading noise emission over a broader frequency spectrum, resulting in a sound pattern that is more agreeable to the human ear. Furthermore, the seven-blade Heptaperf™ impeller is meticulously optimized to work in tandem with the stator vanes, achieving a perfect balance between power and quietness.

PWM Control with SSO2 Bearing & SCD: The NF-F12 is equipped with a 4-pin PWM connector for fully automatic speed control, allowing your motherboard to adjust fan speed based on thermal requirements. It utilizes Noctua’s second-generation SSO2 (Self-Stabilizing Oil-Pressure) bearing for exceptional long-term stability and silent operation. The custom-designed NE-FD1 PWM IC integrates Smooth Commutation Drive (SCD) technology, which further suppresses PWM switching noises for a quieter experience at lower speeds. This fan can also stop completely at 0% PWM duty cycle for passive cooling.

Ultra-Low Power Consumption & Durability: Drawing only 0.6W, the NF-F12 is highly energy-efficient. It features integrated anti-vibration pads made from extra-soft silicone to minimize vibration transmission. Constructed with a metal bearing shell and backed by a full 6-year manufacturer’s warranty, this fan is built for impeccable quality and outstanding longevity, ensuring reliable performance for years to come.
