Specifications
The NH-D12L cooler comes with one fan, while if we want to install a second fan then we have to buy a separate product – NF-A12x25r. This new fan set includes a specific fan that fits the NH-D12L cooler and additional accessories. The fan itself is the same as the one that comes with the cooler. More info about the NF-A12x25r you can find below.
The NF-A12x25r is a round-frame version of Noctua’s award-winning flagship model 120mm NF-A12x25 fan. Its round shape makes it ideal for use on low-height dual-tower CPU coolers like the NH-D12L as well as other space-restricted applications that cannot accommodate square-frame 120mm fans. Just like the square NF-A12x25, the round NF-A12x25r uses a record-tight tip clearance of only 0.5mm, which is made possible by using the novel Sterrox® liquid-crystal polymer (LCP) compound as well as a metal-reinforced motor hub and axis for ultimate precision. Sharing the same state-of-the-art impeller design with Flow Acceleration Channels, the NF-A12x25r achieves the same class-leading quiet cooling performance as its square-frame sibling. It also supports fully automatic speed control via PWM fan headers and comes with a Low-Noise Adaptor to reduce the maximum speed from 2000 to 1700rpm. Topped off with exceptional running smoothness, Noctua’s reference-class SSO2 bearing, a rich bundle of accessories and 6-year manufacturer’s warranty, the NF-A12x25r is a premium-quality product through and through. Its superior efficiency, cutting-edge construction and pioneering materials make it an elite choice for all 120mm applications that require a round frame.
>Caution: The round-frame NF-A12x25r features a custom hole spacing of 93x83mm. Therefore, it is not suitable for applications that require the standard 105x105mm hole spacing of square-frame 120mm fans such as PC cases, water-cooling radiators or CPU coolers with fan clips for square-frame 120mm fans. Please choose the regular, square-frame NF-A12x25 for these applications.
The below photos are presenting what you get with the NF-12x25r fan kit. As usual, a top-quality package.
