Review: Great quality. - These fans are excellent quality—so glad I purchased these. Replaced my default dell fans and these noctuas just really push as much airflow at less rpm and less noise—exactly what I wanted.
Review: Amazing, But my wallet hurts now - I really want to recommend these fans, cause they are so quiet, and they cool my pc so SO effectivly and efficently with the perfomace just being outstanding and the color leaves such an accident that I love personally and its SO SO easy to install with the cable extentions HOWEVER, they are so expensive compared to buying some other coolers for packs of 5 and 3x less the price. Id only reccomend this if your planning on running a crazy ahh build like me, or if you just want a real quiet pc. My only flaw with the the product isnt really the fans, but the extensions that it comes with, they suck. They work for that they are suppost to do, but the damn thing is so short and hard to bend that it kinda defeats the purpose. Besides that, for me, a little expensive, but so worth it

## Questions & Answers

**Q: Will this be available in black in the future?**
A: yes - we're working on it. Unfortunately the fans material is rather delicate. A simple colour change is not possible - however we're hoping to launch the black NF-A12x25 PWM in Q1/2019.

**Q: wheres the sterrox 140mm version?**
A: we hope to release it by the end of next year.

**Q: can I replace an Antec 120 mm case fan with this?**
A: Yes, as long as they standard 120 mm fan mounts.

**Q: Can this be used to replace fan on h50 cooler, (corsair cooling hydro series cwch50-1 120mm high performance cpu cooler) - will it improve cooling?**
A: It can be used to replace the fans on it, and it will improve cooling. It'll also be much quieter.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ They were all right, this is top of the line for sure!
*by R***1 on September 24, 2024*

I ordered 8 fans for my PC to switch out my old fans in my 2019 self-built, budget PC. All fans were replaced. The exhaust and intake, and for my new CPU air cooler (not noctua), the stock fans were replaced with these. After much research, the NF-F12 (pressure oriented) and NF-S12A (heavily airflow oriented/very low pressure), looked to be quite a sacrifice in performance over minimal price difference. AKA, the price:performance ratio wasn't worth it for me when it wasn't far from an A12x25 PWM. Spending $260 for some fans was painful, I'll admit. But when the mean time to failure rate for these fans is 150,000 hours or 17.1232877 *YEARS*, and their warranty is 6 years, my investment was made (felt) easier! First off: Noise Right before these fans, I had the redux fans installed (NF-P12 redux-1700 PWM) as my 3 - 120mm intake ones for about 2 weeks, before returning them for these A12x25 fans. And man, they were LOUD. Most of the games I play really heat up my PC (Flight sim, Star Citizen, Apex Legends), therefore my fans are often spinning on the upper side of their RPM range. These A12x25 fans at high speeds can be loud, but they have a nice white noise with acoustics that sound like they were thoughtfully engineered. Honestly, anything above 1500 RPM is noticeable. Going into this brand of fans, I had expectations wayyy too high and expected them to never make a single sound. This is definitely achievable with limiting their speeds or getting fans with ultra low noise, but that starts to cost your cooling performance. Good news though! When my PC is idling, I actually have the opposite problem where the fans are so quiet that my refrigerator hum is no longer opposed and is singlehandedly driving me crazy with its "weeerrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr". Performance: Genuinely noticeable. Both with temp sensor reading and especially holding my hand over the exhaust fans. Again, in my previous set up had budget Arctic fans and had an AIO cooler. Now, I have all A12x25 fans and a Thermalright Phantom Spirit 120SE heatsink. My temperatures on my CPU as well as my overall GPU temps have gone down a lot. Like by 10C or more. Even on my CPU when I used the stock cooler fans on the Thermalright vs noctua fans, noticeable difference in temperature and noise there. The performance to noise ratio is phenomenal, with some games like Minecraft, GTA V, and a couple other low power games, performing well without any fan noise! Price: You get what you pay for in life. And with this fan, you DEFINITELY get what you paid for. That price is an excellent representation of its worth. I just hate myself that I justified a $33 price point per fan, but I am so happy. Quality: Fans are heavy and feel like they were built carefully and beautifully. They come with a LARGE selection of addons included in the packaging like rubber "Screws", metal screws, pre-installed anti vibration pads around each corner, even an extra anti vibration sleeve to even further decrease vibration, a y-cable, extension cable, and low noise adapter supplies. All this included in a fancy package, with more packaging information then you could ever want to learn about with the fans. I don't know how I feel about having so many attachments, as I only used 2 y-cable and 2 extension cords. Which leaves me with about 36 unused accessories total. Which I will obviously not throw away, but doubt I will use any more for many many years to come. So I am torn on that large surplus of accessories but at least you get more than you need, rather than needing more than you have. Having 8 fan packages open on your floor will definitely require some space, so be tidy when you open them to prevent having a large organizational mess. Overall: This fan came out on May 2, 2018, and has yet to be superseded by a better Noctua fan nor any other brand. I sincerely doubt that an upgraded version will be substantially better in the near future. Just like with video game graphics, they are already fantastic and it takes a lot to improve it just a little. I feel like it may be the same with aerodynamics and fans. In the end, this investment is worthwhile and will last you for possibly decades with a performance that will be unlikely exponentially bested in the fan's lifetime. Do yourself a favor and start upgrading your PC fans. Start with intake first, then exhaust. Then consider your cooling systems too, but as they have the least amount of fans that make noise, I suggest starting with your case fans first in my personal opinion. The only regret you'll have is that you didn't buy these fans first.
