    Noctua, yet again, have been able to come up with a top quality product that pretty much excels in all departments. The airflow to noise ratio is awesome and this added airflow allows the fan to beat the likes of the NF-P12 and the Noiseblocker Multiframe series. Amazingly, despite the increased airflow, the noise has actually decreased making the fan virtually inaudible especially using the noise adapters that allow awesome flexibility for the user. Overall, this is the... Read more

    The Austrian based company Noctua has become very popular for their practically silent fan designs. What most didn’t know is that Noctua has job specific designs. They have the P12 series for CPU coolers and the S12 series for case fans. Succeeding the vastly successful NF-S12, the NF-S12B is a next generation quiet fan featuring Noctua's advanced SCD2 technology as well as a new blade geometry with Bevelled Blade Tips that improves its predecessor's airflow efficiency...

    As we've seen with Noctua's NF-S12B, it continues their tradition of premium fans that showcase conservative aesthetics and solid cooling performance in a silent setup. We do believe that performance is where products are made or broken, and the S12B is indeed an improvement on its predecessor. There is always a tradeoff between performance and noise, and the Noctua NF-S12B creates an excellent balance between the two here. The NF-S12B is extremely quiet overall, there... Read more

    Cool-n-Quiet! Everyone knows that you need to keep your computer cool at all times to get the most out of it. The most important of all is keeping the CPU coolest--especially if you overclocked it. You also want to keep the noise level to the minimum--nobody wants an airplane to take off when you turn the computer on. Read more

  5. Noctua NF-S12B Fan Review

    The results speak for themselves! Whether you require silence or raw performance, this fan caters for everyone. Like the colour scheme or loath it, it’s the ONLY discussion point here! The premium for such quality, high performance fan is little and it costs just a few pounds more than the el cheapo fans as they are known. Braided cables, anti vibration mounts and unique technology that you will not see anywhere else. So, another fan to the superb lineup Noctua already... Read more

    There are other options, but they're pretty much all terrible. Some brands outright lie with their statistics. Some don't need to lie, their products are bad enough. Noctua doesn't have these problems, but they don't have silent fans that push a ton of air, either. Of what's available at Newegg, these are the best noise to airflow fans, without question. The only problem is, they aren't ideal at either aspect. Read more
