The Just4Review behind you now already known the Noctua NF-S12B.
The Noctua fan is behind us in a box with the usual colors of the brand. Inside we have the fan, an adapter to connect to a Molex, and two adapters that allow us to use this to 900rpm or 600rpm fan (Standard = 1200rpm). We also have four rubber anti-vibration and four screws.




Tests :
LinX (10 Run’s) / All Stock

The tests were performed with the thermal mass Noctua NT-H1, and the ambient temperature fluctuated between 15 º and 17 º C.





1200 rpm (x2) Idle = 21º| Full = 42º
1200 rpm Idle = 23º | Full = 44º
900 rpm (x2) Idle = 24º | Full = 45º
900 rpm Idle = 26º | Full = 47º
600 rpm (x2) Idle = 26º | Full = 50º
600 rpm = Idle = 27º | Full = 57º


As we can see in the chart above, the performance of these fans is very dependent on the rotation that we use.
With 1200rpm (even if only with a fan) the results are great and the noise is almost nil.




Conclusion:

Pros:
- Design
- Silence
- Robustness
- Accessories

Cons:
- Price
-------------------------------------------------- -------------------------------------------------
The performance of these fans and very good. They are perfect for use on a daily basis, because its noise is almost nil.
The only "but" is that its price of around € 18 in Portugal.

nice review
but how noisy are these fans at their respective rpms?
can you at least mention how noisy they are in relation to another popular fan to get a rough idea?

a short youtube vid would be enough, first one fan, then another, so we can hear what it sounds like

At the moment I don't have here with me no other fans "known."
But today i will make videos to see the noise of the fans (600/900/1200rpm)
