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
If the roadmap is right D15v2 will be out in Q2, and A14x25 will be out in Q3.

I might want to buy a full set of desk fan just for the lols.
Otherwise I can skip the power supply and fan controller (I'm using a few USB-to-PWM 12V adapter), and use an existing A12x25. Now the shopping list is only the "fan mount" and the airflow amplifier, which now costs USD$55.
The "fan mount" is ridiculously expensive (USD$40) and is kinda skippable (can be replaced with a wired frame laptop/tablet/smartphone stand which is <USD$5 here), but the stand features a sturdy magnetic base and a ridiculous amount of vibration dampening, so it is half-justifiable.

Having using a A12x25 with fan grills as a desk fan, I'm pretty sure it is/will be much better than the cheapo desk fans by miles.

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.

They offer it as a model for you to print for free.

I really wanna see what sort of market data supports that the majority of these products make any financial sense. April fools was quite some time ago.

Odd design decision though to make the NV-FS2 require a power point instead of USB powered, min speed is 450 RPM which seems exclusive for the market, might email Noctua to ask for a USB version, then if they provide it will buy it..

Hard data where?

Some forum goer’s conclusion as to who is going to use what type of fan for what purpose isn’t proof of anything.

Seems like a non-existent market outside of hardcore brown fan enthusiasts

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.

I still have an $8 desk from from 15 years ago. Cheap and long lasting fans still exist, especially under the price and size noctua is offering.

The idea of using PC fans for other place in the house is cool but you can already buy 3D printed desk fan mounts on etsy at a fraction of the cost.

I'd personally rather support small business, especially when you are paying 1/2 to 1/3rd the cost.

Disappointment immediately sets in upon reading the thread titles, "home product line"??? Huh. Nah man, say it ain't so. I thought for sure this would be the looooong awaited looooong delayed fan or heatsink news, nope neither. Silly little fans and brackets? This is where Noctua is steering the ship? Little fans for cooling off my receiver? Oh joy.

Watch out Vornado your next in their quest to dominate our overheating desks.

I have no idea what is the disappointment all about, more choice of products for consumers is always good.

I have three problems/ideas with/about the products:

1) I have no clue how to put together a system with more than one fan. How I already wrote, it seems that you are expected to buy the power supply with the hub, and then put everything together by buying individual parts?

2) Pricing is a huge problem, these products are not made in Austria, but also in China like almost everything else. It is hard to believe that one injection molded plastic part with production cost of probably less than 1 Euro really needs to be sold for 15, etc.

3) Small version of a fan with directed air low on a holder would be really practical inside PC cases to cool SSDs, VRMs, etc.

Longest foreplay ever, all those niche side products..
Just eject the new D15&14 fan and be done with it.
It`s just a fan, not cold fusion ffs.

I think they will offer a flat version of the new cooler. I have been bugging them lately pretty badly about this and also Gamers nexus proved recently that having a flat cooler brings a real measurable benefit for some CPUs.

So if any delay is caused by them making two versions of the cooler, one flat, it is a good reason for the delay.

Noctua has always been an enthusiast brand.

There is a gap in the market, currently external fans have no established quality brand and is also no fans that go below 1500 RPM.

Noctua replied to query, so their standard 5V fans come with a USB adaptor, although the slowest RPM variant I can see is 800 RPM. Still much slower than the chinese stuff though. :)

Still waiting on who the market is that’s going to buy a plastic fan mount to use pc component fans as a desk fan for general purposes…

I’d like to meet one of the 5 people that will buy any of this instead of 3d printing a bracket for niche cooling situations like cooling a dac in a tv cabinet or something along those lines.

This is still a bad april fools joke.

I ended up buying one of these for my existing fans on my NUC, surprisingly effective. I have a USB convertor cable to micro USB that wasnt being used for anything, so I ended up using that as the input for it so the bulky device isnt sticking out the USB socket.


Fans were quiet but I suffer from dry eyes and the fans at their stock speed were managing to get air drying my eyes out a meter or so from the device even with a laptop blocking about 90% of the direct path.

At the lower speed I have lost about 15% of the cooling, easily worth it.
