Introduction:
The time has come to look at yet another 120mm fan from the Austrian company Noctua. This time it’s the NF-P12 model, and previously we’ve reviewed the NF-S12-800 and NF-S12-1200. The fan is sort of atypical, because of the colour and the 9 fan blades instead of the usual 7 blades, but more about that later.

Packaging:
The NF-P12 is packed in a brown/blue box with a little window, revealing the fan and one of the rubber pins used for fastening the fan.

Accessories:
The box contains the fan, 4 vibration reducing rubber pins for fastening the fan, 4 cutting screws, 1 power plug for 4-pin Molex cables, as well as a blue and a black cable for reducing the voltage, which we’ll explain in the specifications part.

Specifications:
These are the specifications:
Noctua NF-p12 without adapters • (+/- 10%) RPM 1300 • Airflow 92, 3 CM/h • Acoustic noise 19dB (A)
Noctua NF-p12 with Low.Noise.Adapter (black) • (+/- 10%) RPM 1100 • Airflow 78, 5 CM/h • Acoustic noise 16,9dB (A)
Noctua NF-p12 with Ultra.Low.Noise.Adapter (blue) • (+/- 10%) RPM 900 • Airflow 63,4 CM/h • Acoustic noise 12,6dB(A) |
As seen above, the fan can be used at 3 levels, depending on which power cable you use.
