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

https://www.printables.com/model/887071-nv-aa1-12-airflow-amplifierEh, 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.
Cool! People with printers can have fun with it.https://www.printables.com/model/887071-nv-aa1-12-airflow-amplifier
They offer it as a model for you to print for free.

Answered 5 posts up.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..

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.

Noctua has always been an enthusiast brand.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
huh...They want to sell more fans.
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.
