Know before you buy
Yes, the NF-A12x25 measures 120mm by 25mm, which is the industry-standard size for most computer cases and cooling radiators.
Yes, the fan uses a 4-pin PWM connector, which allows your motherboard to automatically adjust the fan speed based on your system's real-time temperature.
With a noise level of 22.6 dB, it is engineered specifically for low-noise operation. It remains very quiet even when running at higher speeds under load.
No, it connects directly to a standard 4-pin fan header on your motherboard, which provides both the necessary 12V power and the PWM control signal.
Absolutely. The NF-A12x25 is designed with high static pressure in mind, making it an excellent choice for pushing air through the dense fins of radiators or heatsinks.
