NF-S12 Contents:
Looking at the two NF-S12 series fans, you would think that they were the same fans. The front and the backs are labeled exactly
the same. Both packages notate specifications and features for both the NF-S12-800 and NF-S12-1200 fans. It is not until you look
at the SKU's of the boxes that you find that we had received one of each specific fans. I would have liked to have seen this a
little more apparent on the front of the packaging, but not really a big deal.
  
Pulling out the contents of the two fans' packaging, they are practically identical. Encased in a clear plastic tray, the fans
come with the respective fans, four Vibration Compensators, four mounting screws, a U.L.N.A. (Ultra Low Noise Adapter) and lastly
a four pin Molex to three pin fan header adapter.
 
The first picture here is of the four to three pin adapter that is provided. It was nice to see that they used a pass-through
Molex connector, insuring that you will not take up a valuable power lead on your PSU. The second picture is the U.L.N.A. (Ultra
Low Noise Adapter). This is simply a three pin extension with a resistor in the middle to cut the power by 50% thus effectively
cutting the airflow in half.
 
There are four included Vibration Comensators and all these are, are rubber mounts for mounting your fans to your case chassis or
side panels. These obviously will not work with any type of clipping mount that some cases have, but these are a great included
accessory for dissapating noise.
