I recently reviewed the Noctua SE1366 NH-U12P cooler and I was blown away with the performance and innovation behind this product, I also mentioned in this review how Noctua seem to go from strength to strength in each new product release, well they have done it again.

The NF-S12B is a fantastic case fan, it offers great performance out of the box lowering the overall motherboard temperature as well as the CPU temperatures too. Noctua have created quite a liking amongst system builders and enthusiasts because of their quality fans, this new release will I am quite sure cause even more exposure.

Whilst the S12B does perform by giving us those reduced temperatures, it also delivers on the audible side of things too. The S12B is whisper quiet with the adaptor kits and even at the full speed of 1200RPM it isn't much bother and will not disturb most.

When it comes to pricing, the Noctua NF-S12B comes in at around €19.90 which translates to around £16. Bare in mind this is the MSRP. Weighing up the results you get, the sound reduction features and 6 years warranty, this package is very attractive.

I award the Noctua NF-S12B the GOLD Award.



We would like to thank Noctua for supplying us with the NF-S12B. Discuss this review in the Vortez Hardware Forum.
