The Noctua NF-A12x25 ULN is the newest flagship fan from Noctua. This fan is the product of 4.5 years of hard work. Thanks to its innovative, aerodynamic construction, it has proven capable of offering impressively quiet cooling performance. This is possible in part because of the incredibly tight clearance of just 0.5 mm between the fan blades and the rim. Equipped with a 3-pin connector, the fan's RPM can be regulated by means of the Ultra-Low-Noise Adapter to between 900 and 1200 RPM. The fan produces a maximum of 12.1 dB(A), which is pleasingly quiet, and a total airflow volume of up to 55,7 m³/h.

The Features of the Noctua NF-A12x25 ULN Fan at a Glance:

  • SSO2 bearings for high performance, quiet operation and improved durability
  • Minimal fan clearance of just 0,5 mm for superb airflow performance
  • 1.200 RPM at 55,7 m³/h & 12,1 dB(A)
  • U.L.N.A for slowing fan speeds to 900 RPM
  • Integrated anti-vibration pads for noise reduction
  • Incredible build quality with 6 year manufacturer guarantee

The Noctua NF-A12x25 ULN in Detail

All in all the new flagship model from Noctua achieves some impressive specifications. The 120 mm fan spins at 900 or 1.200 RPM and this results in up to 55,7 m³/h of airflow. Meanwhile the fan simultaneously manages a low noise output of just 12,1 dB(A). This represents the perfect fan for people passionate about quiet PCs as well as overclockers!

Manufactured using innovative Sterrox LCP alongside several innovative aerodynamic optimisations, the NF-A12x25 ULN is capable of stunning performance. One of the special features of this fan is the tight 0,5 mm frame clearance. This enables ultra-efficient operation with improved air pressure values, something that comes into its own when paired with coolers and radiators. The reason this is possible is due in no small part to Noctua's Liquid Crystal Polymer known as "Sterrox", which is highly resistant to mechanical and thermal stressors.

The area around the hub of the fan is reinforced with metal to help add to the fan's overall stability, something that acoustically sensitive users will appreciate. The NF-A12x25 ULN also uses other techniques such as Flow Acceleration Channels, which help to accelerate the flow of air outwards thereby increasing efficiency and minimising sound. Airflow is also improved thanks to the stepped inlet design and the inner surface microstructures.

Thanks to Noctua's Smooth Commutation Drive 2, the NF-A12x25 ULN newest drive system from Noctua, the torque stress on the blades is reduced and this contributes greatly to the quiet operation of the fan. Optimising the fan even further, Noctua includes SSO2 Bearing Technology to achieve exceptional stability and durability over long periods of operation.

Vibrations are reduced thanks to the fan's Anti-Vibration Pads and Noctua includes anti-vibration seals for installation on radiators. In terms of accessories, Noctua includes an Ultra-Low-Noise Adapter (U.L.N.A.) in the bundle, which allows the max RPM to be reduced down to 900. Connection to the 4-pin header possible despite the 3-Pin connector. A convenient and practical 30cm cable extension for large cases is also included.

Guru3D - Noctua NF-A12x25 and NF-P12 Redux fan group

We tested two new sets of fans today, the P12 Redux series is fine for your 'cooling and airflow' as expected at a reasonable price of just 14 USD/EUR. It does so at acceptable low noise levels (given the right voltages of course). The star of the show has got to be the NF-A12x25 series. The ULN series you simply cannot hear, it's just not possible!, however, that does come at the cost of lower airflow and thus, in the end, cooling performance. However, on a nice liquid cooling radiator, I can see these fans make sense completely. The best fans in a performance to acoustics ratio, however, would be the FLX and PWM models. Both are pretty similar in performance and noise levels. Ergo I would advise the PWM model as the best fan of preference here.

Hardwarepoint - NF-A12x25

Nach Jahren der Entwicklung konnte Noctua seinen NF-A12x25 endlich der Öffentlichkeit präsentieren und die Wartezeit hat sich gelohnt. In unserem direkten Vergleich ließen wir den hauseigenen NF-F12 antreten, der selber bereits eine sehr respektable Performance abzuliefern vermag. Doch die Mühen Noctua`s haben sich gelohnt. Es wurde an etlichen Stellschrauben gedreht, ein neues Material verwendet, was den Spalt zwischen Rotor und Gehäuse auf ein Minimum reduziert, eine andere Nabenkonstruktion entwickelt sowie etwas am Zubehör gefeilt.

Heraus kam ein Lüfter, der kurzum einfach Überzeugt. Wir können eine klare Kaufempfehlung aussprechen. Der NF-A12x25 bietet ausgezeichnete Belüftung ohne auch nur wahrnehmbar zu sein. Zum NF-F12 kann bei gleicher Leistung entweder die Drehzahl reduziert oder bei selber Geräuschentwicklung eine höhere Kühlung bewirkt werden – ihr entscheidet. Das Ganze geschieht auf einem völlig anderen, zuvor nie dagewesenen Level – sehr beeindruckend.
