2x Noctua NF-S12A
Long story short, I purchased these to use as intake/HDD cooling fans on my Fractal Define R3. They're meant to be used in unrestricted spaces such as exhaust fans as they have low static pressure, I thought it'd be fine as they were fine in my old case. Guess the dust filter and HDD cage in the R3 are too restrictive for the S12A and I need the P12 instead. Noctua NF-S12A FLX 120mm Ultra Quiet Cooling Fan 700-1200RPM 65.8-107.5M3/H 7.4-17.8DBA 3Pin Noctua.at - sound-optimised premium components "Designed in Austria"!
The S12A are Noctuas new generation of S series fans, the previous fan being the S12B which I also used a couple years ago. I can say with confidence that these fans are absolutely AMAZING. Push a ton of air as an exhaust fan and are really rather quiet, can barely hear anything, only a very light whoosh of air at max rpm. Will trade for two of your P12s, which is actually a loss for me as the P12 is $3 cheaper per fan compared to the S12A and is a generation older. Only used my S12As for less than a week. Or $35 for both. Purchased them for $50 after taxes.
Both fans will come in their original boxes with all original accessories and extra cables. I have the receipts left for both fans. Noctua offers a 150,000mtbf or 6 year warranty with the easiest RMA process ever. These are amazing fans.
