Review @ DriverHeavenNoctua impressed us at Driver Heaven greatly a few months back when we reviewed the CPU coolers NH-U12 and U9, and now they have done it again! Not only did the NF-S12-1200 keep up with the YS-Tech 120mm fan performance wise, it did so without any noise. This is honestly something we thought impossible.
The NF-S12-800 was able to maintain our case temperatures at more than acceptable levels, it actually didn’t let the temperatures get any higher than when using the cooler master stock fans. To think a short while ago I considered the cooler master fans quiet!
Is there anything we did not like about these fans? I am pleased to say that this is a rare occasion when I can not find fault with the product in our labs. It has it all, it pushes a substantial amount of air (81 m³/h for the 1200, and 59 m³/h for the 800), and it does so at the lowest level of sound I’ve experienced with fans at this performance. The only thing I could imagine people complaining about would be the choice of colouring. Personally I like the brownish colour; I think it makes them stand out from the crowd of all black, acrylic and LED fans currently saturating the market.
The only real downside with these fans are the price, they cost about €22 which is rather expensive for a fan. That said, you get what you pay for.

fein!
dass die Noctuas auch mit rubber vibration compernsator-Dingern ausgestattet sind, find ich cool!
Obwohl mich der positive Bericht (leistungsmäßig) nicht überrascht muss ich sagen, dass ich mit der Preispolitikskritik konform gehe. Würden Noctua-kühler/Lüfter weniger kosten, wärens auch am Mittelstandsmarkt stärker vertreten.
Ist aber vermutlich eben das, womit sie ihre Exklusivität bestätigt haben wollen...
