## Summary description

Noctua NF-S12A PWM chromax.black.swap is a 120 mm computer case fan with PWM control, delivering up to 107.5 m³/h airflow at 1200 RPM and as low as 300 RPM for quiet operation (17.8 dB). It uses a Self‑Stabilising Oil‑pressure (SSO) bearing, runs on 12 V with typical power 1.44 W, includes four mounting screws and a 0.3 m 4‑pin cable. Suitable for case cooling and long MTBF (150,000 h).

## Long description

The Noctua NF-S12A PWM chromax.black.swap is a 120 mm case fan designed for efficient, quiet airflow in low-impedance applications such as chassis cooling. The chromax.black.swap edition pairs the proven NF-S12A aerodynamic design and SSO2 bearing durability with an all-black finish and a set of swappable red, white, blue, green, yellow and black anti-vibration pads for basic colour customisation. The fan supports PWM speed control from 300 to 1200 RPM, delivers up to 107.5 m³/h airflow, and is backed by a metal bearing shell, more than 150,000 hours MTBF and a 6-year manufacturer’s warranty.
Advantages
The NF-S12A PWM chromax.black.swap provides high airflow efficiency combined with low acoustic noise thanks to its AAO frame, Stepped Inlet Design and Inner Surface Microstructures. Its Anti-Stall Knobs improve performance in medium to high impedance situations, making the fan versatile for both case and certain heatsink/radiator applications. The chromax.black.swap package includes swappable anti-vibration pads and a fully sleeved black cable for improved vibration damping and visual integration into different build colour schemes.
Suitable for
Case cooling for desktop PCs
Low-impedance airflow applications where quiet operation is required
Enthusiast builds that require colour-coordinated fans
Key specifications
Model: NF-S12A PWM chromax.black.swap
Fan diameter: 120 mm
Speed range: 300–1200 RPM (PWM)
Maximum airflow: 107.5 m³/h
Bearing: SSO2 (self-stabilising oil-pressure) with CNC-milled brass bearing shell
MTBF: \>150,000 hours
Colour: black with swappable anti-vibration pads (black, white, red, blue, green, yellow)
Manufacturer’s warranty: 6 years
How to use
Install the fan in standard 120 mm mounting holes using the included screws or optional anti-vibration mounts. Connect the 4-pin PWM cable to a motherboard fan header or PWM fan controller to enable automatic speed control between 300 and 1200 RPM. Fit the swappable anti-vibration pads in the desired colours on the fan corners for vibration damping and visual customisation. For dual-sided colour matching or alternative cable colours, purchase additional NA-SAVP1 pad sets and chromax NA-EC1 cables separately.
Usage recommendations
For lowest noise operation, use PWM control via the motherboard and position the NF-S12A where it can work in low-impedance conditions (case intake/exhaust). If using on radiators or dense heatsinks, check airflow requirements and consider the fan’s Anti-Stall Knobs to reduce flow separation; optionally combine with higher static-pressure fans if needed.
