Expecting restock
High quality 120mm fan with decent performance and high static airflow pressure. Features a suite of proprietary Noctua technologies for minimal noise and vibration and impressive durability. In fact, it is an upgraded version of the popular Noctua NF-P12 model, which differs from it by the presence of special aerodynamic elements of the trailing edges of the blades and support for PWM speed control in the range from 300 to 1300 rpm. The main features of this model is the optimized shape of the 9-bladed impeller, which provides a static pressure of up to 1.68 mm w.c. This parameter is fundamentally important for efficient cooling of cases and optimal air flow between the closely spaced fins of air coolers and channel radiators of water cooling systems. For silent operation, the Noctua NF-P...12 PWM fan is equipped with proprietary SSO bearings with a self-stabilizing rotor and the original Smooth Commutation Drive NE-FD1 PWM driver. In addition, it is equipped with a special Low-Noise adapter that reduces the speed to 900 rpm, which corresponds to the zone of complete acoustic comfort.

Model overview based on user reviews  
The Noctua NF-P12 PWM fan is highly praised for its exceptional quietness and build quality, making it a top choice for users seeking efficient cooling solutions. It features a hydrodynamic bearing with magnetic stabilization, ensuring that even at maximum speed, it only produces aerodynamic noise. The fan is equipped with a rich set of accessories, including extension cords, resistors for reducing rotations, and rubber mounts, all of which contribute to its premium feel. While the signature brown color and the price might not appeal to everyone, the fan's durability and performance make it a worthwhile investment. Users appreciate its ability to maintain efficiency and silence over time, making it a reliable choice for long-term use.

Good cooler! For a weak processor (4 cores), take 1500ms
Yakist, quiet, rich equipment!
speed 1230ms.
use Noctua NF-P12 PWM less than month
Noctua is Noctua, it will survive more than one assembly, and then it will pass to the grandchildren...

If you use the 10-point rating system, then it is all 12. The top among the tops. One of the best solutions on the market. Yes, the price is biting, but you don't take it for a week. expect that this turntable, even after 5 years, will rake the air as on the day of purchase, just as efficiently, just as silently. The fan uses a hydrodynamic bearing with magnetic stabilization, which simply means that at maximum speed, it will create only aerodynamic noise, that is, the sound of air, not the engine. The equipment is appropriate for the price, we have extension cords, lighting, resistors for reducing rotations, rubber nails. All wires are tightly braided. Everything looks expensive/rich... if only it wasn't for this signature color, which hardly matches the body style. But whatever you do, it's worth it.
QUIET, equipment, QUIET, build quality, QUIET, efficiency...did I mention quiet?
The color, the price bites the wallet.
