Noctua Cooling Solutions
Noctua's premium cooling components are internationally renowned for their superb quietness, exceptional performance and quality.
The NF-F12 5V is a dedicated 5V version of Noctua’s award-winning, premium-quality NF-F12 120mm fan. Featuring an AAO (Advanced Acoustic Optimisation) standard frame and sophisticated aerodynamic design measures such as the FocusedFlow system, the NF-F12 is renowned for its superior performance and outstanding quietness of operation. Smooth Commutation Drive technology and Noctua’s reference class SSO2 bearing ensure superb running smoothness and excellent long-term stability. Topped off with the included USB power adaptor cable and OmniJoin adaptor se, the NF-F12 5V is a premium choice for demanding 5V applications.
5V version
5V fans are used in various devices and applications. With the included USB power adaptor cable and OmniJoin adaptor set, the NF-F12 5V is a proven premium solution that gives you full flexibility both for replacing existing 5V fans and for new, custom applications.
Please Note: Being a 5V fan, the NF-F12 5V cannot be run at 12V and will be damaged when used with typical 12V power sources such as PC motherboard fan headers.
Heptaperf Impeller
Custom designed for the new Focused Flow frame and to work in tandem with the eleven stator guide vanes, the NF-F12's seven blade Heptaperf impeller has been carefully optimised to achieve a perfect balance between power and quietness.
SSO2 bearing
The NF-F12 is the first fan to feature the further optimised second generation of Noctua's renowned, time-tested SSO bearing. With SSO2, the rear magnet is placed closer to the axis to provide even better stabilisation, precision and durability.
Varying Angular Distance and Vortex Control Notches
The NF-F12's stator guide vanes are set out in Varying Angular Distance and feature Vortex-Control Notches. Both measures help to spread the noise emission over a broader frequency spectrum and thus make the fan's sound pattern more agreeable to the human ear.
USB power adaptor cable
The fan includes a USB power adaptor cable that allows it to run on power banks, devices with USB host ports or USB power supplies such as those used for smartphones, giving you near endless possibilities for using the fan in your home, in your car or wherever a need for cooling occurs!
Please Note:
Being a 5V fan, the NF-F12 5V cannot be run at 12V and will be damaged when used with typical 12V power sources such as PC motherboard fan headers.
