Noctua NF-A12 and P12 Redux Fan Group Test Review 5

Posted by: Hilbert Hagedoorn on: 06/29/2018 04:44 PM [ 23 comment(s) ]

Noctua recently released new Sterrox manufactured 120mm fans in a wide range of configurations. The NF-A12 series, however, has been a fan series they worked on for four years! In this group test, we'll put nine recent Noctua fans to the test, and compared them in cooling performance, noise levels and airflow.

Hey boss, thanks for the review.
It's nice to see something out of the normal scope of reviews; it's fresh.

Can I ask why you rated the graphs in meters per second?

It's not going to mean that much to most people I don't think as CFM and m^3/h are generally what everyone uses/knows.

One has to do some calculations to get a rough comparison to other manufacturer's specs.

Man these are nice fans, and I want them! Only problem is..The a12's are $29.99 on newegg for one! :( I would need 7!

Those are the type of fans you buy and forget; they'll last forever.

I've already replaced most of my fans with them; much quieter than the previous NF-f12s

Well you know me, I like to do things differently :)
No, the anemometer is a common instrument used to measure wind speed and the register output is in meters per second.

Ah, Noctua did good! So that's a 4 degC decrease in temperature when comparing silent operation performance of previous generation with these new improved fans: 68 degC down to 64 degC with new generation. If your CPU runs hotter than that then the temperature decrease would be greater than 4 degC with these fans, and if your CPU runs cooler than the 60 degC range then the difference will be less than 4 degC - to give some perspective on how much temperature decrease you could expect to see (this is based on my understanding of thermodynamics from a Uni degree a long time ago!). They're some impressive fans!
