Noctua Launches HOME Product Line for Home, Office and Multi-purpose Ventilation

[VSG]

Noctua today launched its new HOME product line for home, office and multi-purpose ventilation. Starting with two fan sets and nine modular accessory products that enable Noctua fans to be used for various cooling tasks outside the realm of PC cooling, the new HOME line is all about leveraging Noctua's award-winning fan technology in novel fields of application. "Noctua originates from the PC cooling market, but our fans' award-winning performance, quietness of operation and long-term stability are just as useful in various other applications" says Roland Mossig (Noctua CEO). "Our industrial clients as well as tech-savvy DIYers have already been using our fans for applications beyond the PC cooling space for many years, so the new HOME line marks the next step in leveraging our technologies for a wider scope of cooling demands and making them more accessible for a broader audience."

The launch lineup of Noctua's HOME line comprises two complete, ready-to-use fan sets as well as nine modular accessory products, all of which make it possible to employ Noctua fans for typical home, office or multi-purpose ventilation tasks. For example, the NV-FM1 is a highly versatile, pivoting mount for 120 and 140 mm fans that cannot only be used as a simple stand on desks or other level surfaces, but can also be fixed to walls, ceilings, furniture, or other objects. For applications that require a strong, focused beam of airflow, it can be paired with the tailored NV-AA1-12 airflow amplifier that significantly enhances the fan's ventilation performance. Both products are bundled in the NV-FS1 set with the award-winning NF-A12x25 fan, an NA-FC1 fan controller as well as the new NV-PS1 230/115 V AC to 12 V DC power supply plus a fan grill and extension cable. In sum, the NV-FS1 is a sturdy, premium grade quiet desk or room fan that can be installed just about anywhere using screws, zip-ties or the integrated magnets.



The NV-MPG1 multi-purpose gaskets are ideal for placing a cooling fan on top of A/V receivers, DVRs, video game consoles, stereo equipment, routers, switches, set-top-boxes or other devices that have ventilation holes on top. By contrast, the NV-MPP1 multi-purpose pads have been conceived for placing fans underneath devices that have ventilation holes at the bottom side. The NV-FS2 set combines the gasket and the pads with an NF-A12x25 fan, NA-FC1 controller, NV-PS1 power supply, NA-FC1 fan controller, fan grill and extension cable, which makes for a highly adaptable cooling package that can be used for various device cooling applications, but also as a simple desk fan or for enhancing the efficiency of heating radiators.

Last but not least, the NV-FH2 is an even more robust version of the popular NA-FH1 8-way fan hub, tailored for home, office and multi-purpose ventilation applications. As such, it trades the NA-FH1's S-ATA power input for a 12 V barrel connector and features a removable cover for mechanical protection and a clean appearance. The NV-SPH1 set combines the NV-FH2 with the new NV-PS1 power supply, giving customers a complete, safe and certified solution for powering up to 8 fans from the mains.

Combined with Noctua's existing ecosystem of 40, 60, 80, 92, 120, 140 and 200 mm fans (24 V, 12 V, 5 V with USB power adaptor cables) as well as various accessory products such as fan grills and extension or splitter cables, the new HOME line products give customers a trusted, modular and highly flexible toolbox for solving typical cooling challenges in their homes, offices and various other environments.

How long is the cable on adapter? can be useful to slap some of these on back and bottom of office chairs with mesh. should be a nice way to get some much needed airflow while sitting.

 

[Ferrum Master]

Cooling a NAD... putting a RF rattler, PWM motor driver on top of it... geniuses...

 

[Todestrieb]

That's the desk fan I have been waiting for... and a whole lot of other stuff... and a pretty Noctua price tag.

My bank account is shivering.

At least it looks like I can make use of one or two A12x25 lying in my room.

 

[BoggledBeagle]

The complete set of a table fan costs 100 Euro

A set with one appliance fan costs only 80 Euro.

The plastic air guide costs 15 Euro.

I understand that the appliance fans can be really practical, but the price for one fan, even if it is with a power supply, seems very high.

A great thing is that these products are in a normal black colour scheme, and not in that horrible traditional poop leaving pink a**hole scheme. Noctua commited a horrible crime with their traditional colour scheme. They destroyed aesthetics or God knows how many PC builds and ruined aesthetic perception of a huge number of people.

The more I think about these products the more I like them and dislike their pricing.

I do not undestand this: The sets available seem to be prepared to run just one fan.

If you want to run more fans, you are supposed to buy this product:

NV-SPH1

Combining the NV-FH2 8 channel PWM fan hub with the NV-PS1 230/115V 24W power supply, the NV-SPH1 powered hub set is the ideal solution for powering up to eight 12V fans off the mains for home, office or multi-purpose ventilation applications. For stepless speed control of PWM fans, the optional...

and where are the individual fans sets for it? Are you supposed to build each fan set from individual parts? Where are the grills?


The fan mount and fan guide may be very practical inside the PC cases to blow air where it is needed. I think that they should make these for this purpose for smaller fans (92 or 80mm?), so that they fit inside the PC cases better. Perhaps making the air guide a little bit shorter too.

and here I am wishing someone would release an old school early nineties steel off white painted box

 

[Fungi]

This whole concept is fun and I like the airflow guide but I have a hard time imagining there's any sort of market for this. No USB power for portable battery bank power is a missed opportunity as well.

 

[BoggledBeagle]

HI-FI components relying on only convection can get pretty warm, you add only a little active air movement and the temperature of the components dramatically improves.

I had a fan lying on an integrated amp in past. It really helped.

Also when I decreased winter temperatures in the flat I started having problems with mold. I ended up making almost exactly the same 120mm standalone fan blowing air between the wall and a bookcase. I would have really liked to have that nice fan holder...

 

[chrcoluk]

Finally a proper brand for these fans, the market is flooded with crap from disposable brands that works from anything from a day up to maybe a few months.

Hopefully there is actual device set low RPM options as well. I have Noctua PC fans that can go down to 500RPM but all the Chinese stuff wont go lower than 1500RPM.

 

[Vya Domus]

Ever wanted a desk fan but thought to yourself: "Man I wish this had a tiny ass fan and was abnormally overpriced" well wonder no more.

 

[BoggledBeagle]

Yes, the pricing is really problematic. When you realise that you can have three large floor standing fans (ALSO CHINESE MADE) for the price of one tiny 120mm fan set...

 

[freeagent]

Now you know where the funds to make the D16 went

 

[Calenhad]

Can somebody tell Noctua that their calendar is broken? It is not April 1st today.

 

[BoggledBeagle]

I am curious how the LUFTSTROMVERSTÄRKER works, I am seriously considering buying it.

 

[TechLurker]

Eh, there are similar CAD models based on the airflow enhancer and similar stands that would still be cheaper to either 3D print via 3rd party, or 3D print yourself, then just buy the Noctua and a USB or AC-to-DC adapter.

Or just spend 20-40 or so on a small Vornado and get the same focused range for cheaper. And then have enough money left over for a basic 120 or 140 fan + power adapter for cooling a specific peripheral.

 

[BoggledBeagle]

I do not have a 3D printer and injection molded parts are always better than 3D printed ones.

It feels like the luftstromverstärker should cost 5-7 Euro and not 15.

 

[NoneRain]

what

 

[BoggledBeagle]

what

They want to sell more fans.

 

[Gungar]

This whole concept is fun and I like the airflow guide but I have a hard time imagining there's any sort of market for this. No USB power for portable battery bank power is a missed opportunity as well.

Just buy a usb to 4 pin adapter?

 

[Super Firm Tofu]

Now you know where the funds to make the D16 went

Yep. While Thermalright is handing Noctua their ass on an ARGB platter, we get home ‘ventilation’ products.

Years and still no new 140mm fan or D16

The Vornado I tried was very loud.

The A14 can go as low as 175 RPM and the A12x25 bottoms out at 225 RPM.

 

[evernessince]

I should warn everyone that products Noctua makes outside of fans are not always good or even decent. I have three of their 140mm to 120mm fan mounting brackets and they are one of the worst things I've ever had the displeasure of using. You cannot mount your fans because the included rubber screws always snap. I'm not sure when Noctua lowered the quality of their rubber screws but some cheap chinese rubber screws actually did the job. On top of that, Noctua doesn't include screws to mount the bracket to the rad itself, which is problematic given they require a specific screw length in order to mount correctly. I guess Noctua just hopes the customer's rad screws are the correct size or that they are like me and have them on hand. My AIO rad screws were not the correct size and if I didn't have a big bag of screws from years of PC building, it would not have been possible to mount. It's easily in the top 5 worst products I've purchased.

My newer NH-D15 Redux purchase didn't go that well either, cooler has resonance when the fans are in a pull config.

To me it seems they've suffered from a drop in quality post pandemic. They've been lazy in improving and seem to want to ride off their reputation. $39 for a tiny metal stand is ridiculous and that doesn't even include a power supply for the fan.

 

[chrcoluk]

No doubt these will be expensive, but lets say $30 for a fan that lasts 5 years vs $10 for a fan that dies or starts sounding like an engine after 2 months, its better long term economics. Less waste as well.

For those who dont like it, the cheap chinese stuff wont be going anywhere.

 

[redeye]

surprised it is not made by Dyson!

vacuums are awesome, but everything else is overpriced.
