Premium quiet 120mm case fan

The Noctua NF-S12A FLX is a 120mm case fan designed for quiet cooling in PC cases, CPU coolers and water-cooling radiators. It uses a third-generation S12 blade design with Anti-Stall Knobs and an Advanced Acoustic Optimisation frame. The fan targets builders who want low noise without sacrificing airflow. It is not suited for buyers who need addressable RGB lighting or PWM speed control.

Tool-free vibration mounts and adaptors

Installation uses the supplied 25mm thick frame with integrated anti-vibration pads and four vibration compensators for screw mounting. A 3:4-pin adaptor, 30cm extension cable, Low-Noise Adaptor and Ultra-Low-Noise Adaptor are included for flexible power connections. The 3-pin connector limits automatic speed control on motherboards that only support PWM headers. Builders without 3-pin headers or fan controllers must plan their wiring carefully.

Three fixed speeds for airflow or silence

At 1200 RPM the fan delivers 63.27 CFM at 17.8 dB(A). The Low-Noise Adaptor reduces speed to 900 RPM for 48.97 CFM at 10.7 dB(A). The Ultra-Low-Noise Adaptor drops it to 700 RPM for 38.73 CFM at 7.4 dB(A). This range handles typical case intake and exhaust duties with headroom for quiet operation. It runs out of steam in high-restriction radiators that demand higher static pressure at maximum speed.

Questions about this item

How can I verify the NF-S12A FLX is running at the correct speed after installation?

Use motherboard monitoring software or BIOS to confirm the 3-pin fan reports approximately 1200 RPM, 900 RPM with the Low-Noise Adaptor, or 700 RPM with the Ultra-Low-Noise Adaptor, each within the stated +/-10% tolerance.

What accessories are included with the NF-S12A FLX and what must I provide separately?

The box contains the 120mm fan, Low-Noise Adaptor, Ultra-Low-Noise Adaptor, 3:4-pin adaptor, 30cm extension cable, four vibration-compensators and four fan screws; only a 3-pin or 4-pin motherboard header or PSU Molex connector is required from your side.

Which of the three speed settings should I choose for the NF-S12A FLX?

Run at 1200 RPM for maximum airflow of 63.27 CFM at 17.8 dB(A), 900 RPM via the L.N.A. for 48.97 CFM at 10.7 dB(A), or 700 RPM via the U.L.N.A. for 38.73 CFM at 7.4 dB(A) depending on cooling needs.
