Installation
When installing the NF-F12 on a heatsink or radiator, please use the mounting mechanism supplied with your heatsink or radiator (fan clips,
screws, etc.) as described in the respective manual.
When installing the NF-F12 as a case fan, you can either use proprietary clip systems (if your case features a clip system for fan installation) or
the supplied mounting screws and silicone anti-vibration mounts. In order to install the fan using the silicone mounts, please first pull the silicone
mounts through the mounting holes of the case. Then put the fan onto the silicone mounts and pull them through the mounting holes of the fan:
If necessary, you can easily remove the NF-F12’s integrated anti-vibration pads:
Connection
The NF-F12 comes with a 4-pin PWM fan connector for fully automatic speed control via your mainboard’s 4-pin PWM fan headers. Please note
that the fan can also be connected to your mainboard’s 3-pin fan headers though. When connected to 3-pin fan headers, the NF-F12 will run at
full speed (unless the mainboard supports voltage based speed control).
If you’re using multiple NF-F12 fans, you can use the supplied y-cable (NA-YC1) to connect several fans to one PWM fan header. This way, your
mainboard will set all the connected fans to run at the same speed.
The NF-F12 features a short 20cm primary cable in order to help you minimise cable clutter in typical applications. If you need a longer cable,
please add the supplied 30cm extension (NA-EC1). The NF-F12 comes with a Low-Noise Adaptor (NA-RC6) that allows you reduce the fan speed
from 1500 to 1200rpm. You can either use the adaptor to set the fan to a fixed speed of 1200rpm (if speed control is deactivated) or to cap the
maximum speed to 1200rpm during PWM speed control.

Cleaning and Maintenance
Fans inside computer cases tend to accumulate dust over longer periods of usage. In order to maintain maximum performance, please clean your
fans regularly using a duster, slightly moist tissue or canned air. Please be careful not to use too much force in order to prevent any damage to the
fan. Please don’t use a vacuum cleaner as this may apply excessive force to the fan.
In order to ensure flawless operation over many years of usage, the NF-F12’s premium grade SSO2 bearing is fully sealed to prevent the entering
of fine dust particles. Please note that the fan is not designed to be taken apart by the user. Removing the impeller from the frame will break the
sealing of the bearing and results in a loss of warranty.
Warranty and Support
Even with high-grade products and strict quality control, the possibility of defects cannot be eliminated entirely. Therefore, we aim at providing the
highest possible level of reliability and convenience by offering a warranty period of 6 years and direct, fast and straightforward RMA service.
Should you encounter any problems with your NF-F12, please don’t hesitate to contact our support team ([email protected]).
