Keep critical components up and running with the NF-F12 IPPC-3000 PWM 120mm Cooling Fan from Noctua. Intended for use in industrial environments, this fan is designed for reliable performance at the expense of greater operation noise. While not recommended for quiet PC builds, this cooling fan is ideal for production applications. Featuring an SSO-bearing design, this cooling fan offers PWM control via a 4-pin connection. Capable of up to 109.89 CFM of airflow at speeds of 750 to 3000 rpm, users can expect a max noise level of 43.5 dBA. In addition to IP52 dust and water resistance, this fan has a lifespan of more than 150,000 hours.
Three-Phase Motor Design
Noctua's industrialPPC fans feature a three-phase design with 6 slots, which provides smoother transitions between the slots and allows for reduced vibrations.
Fiberglass-Reinforced Polyamide Construction
Both the impeller and the frame of Noctua's industrialPPC fans are made entirely from fiberglass-reinforced polyamide, capable of withstanding temperatures up to 284°F.
Certified IP52 Water and Dust Protection
Thanks to a varnish coating that covers the motor and PCB, the NF-F12 industrialPPC complies with the ingress protection rating IP52. This means that it is not only dust resistant, but also withstands dripping water equivalent to 0.12" of rainfall per minute.
Focused Flow Frame
Designed for pressure-demanding applications such as heatsinks and radiators, the Focused Flow frame features eleven stator guide vanes that straighten, channel, and focus the airflow.
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, intended to make the fan's sound pattern more agreeable to the human ear.
Heptaperf Impeller
Designed specifically 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 is optimized to balance power with operational noise.
AAO Frame
Noctua's AAO or Advanced Acoustic Optimisation frames feature integrated anti-vibration pads as well as Noctua's Stepped Inlet Design and Inner Surface Microstructures, both of which are intended to improve the fan's performance and noise efficiency.
Stepped Inlet Design
Noctua's Stepped Inlet Design adds turbulence to the influx in order to facilitate the transition from laminar flow to turbulent flow, which reduces tonal intake noise, improves flow attachment and increases suction capacity, especially in space-restricted environments.
Inner Surface Microstructures
With the tips of the fan blades plowing through the boundary layer created by the Inner Surface Microstructures, flow separation from the suction side of the blades is suppressed, which results in reduced blade passing noise and improved airflow and pressure efficiency.
Integrated Anti-Vibration Pads
Integrated anti-vibration pads made from extra-soft silicone minimize the transmission of minute vibrations.
