Noctua Presents NF-A6x15 60mm Fans and NA-SC1 Sx2 Splitter Cable Set

[Nomad76]

Noctua today expanded its award-winning A-series of premium-quality quiet cooling fans with slim 60 mm models. Complementing the existing, 25 mm thick NF-A6x25, the new, 15 mm thick NF-A6x15 is available in 12 V and 5 V variants, both with 3-pin and PWM 4-pin connectors. Additionally, Noctua also introduced the new NA-SC1 Sx2 set of 3-way PWM splitter cables for running three fans off a single fan header.

"The NF-A6x25 has been very popular over the years, but some devices and applications that use 60 mm fans can only fit slimmer models with up to 15 mm thickness - this is where the new NF-A6x15 steps in", explains Roland Mossig (Noctua CEO). "We're confident that this fan is going to be popular both for our industrial customers and end users who utilise it for 3D printing or DIY fan replacements."



Featuring advanced aerodynamic design measures such as Flow Acceleration Channels and Noctua's AAO frame, the NF-A6x15 is a highly optimised, premium-quality quiet fan in size 60x15mm. It is available in 12 V and 5 V versions, both with 3-pin and 4-pin (PWM) connectors. The 5 V versions include Noctua's OmniJoin adaptor set for easy connection when replacing fans with custom headers as well as a USB-A power adaptor cable that allows running them on power banks, devices with USB host ports or USB power supplies.

In addition to the NF-A6x15 fans, Noctua has also introduced the NA-SC1 Sx2 set of 3-way splitter cables.

"The new 3-way PWM splitter cable set is perfect for customers who want to run three to five fans off a single fan header without investing into our more sophisticated 8-port fan hubs", says Roland Mossig. "Whether it's inside your PC or for home ventilation and DIY projects, the NA-SC1 is a simple yet effective solution that can be nicely combined with other Noctua products such as the NA-FC1 fan controller or NV-PS1 power supply."



The NA-SC1 Sx2 is a set of two NA-SC1 3-way PWM fan splitter cables that make it possible to power and control three fans through one fan header. By connecting the second triple splitter cable to the first, a total of five fans can be powered and controlled simultaneously. Thanks to the high-quality black fibreglass silicone sleeving, the NA-SC1 cables are ideal both for use in PCs and for home or multi-purpose ventilation applications.

Refreshing to see 60mm fans still getting some attention. They had falled out favour in last couple of years.

If only they could make a 70mm fan, I could replace the one in my NAS.

Still used in racked systems. Though normally you don't care about noise with those and slap in screamers that will chop fingers. There are edge cases though where sound levels matter.

These will be great in SFF builds

Generally those are fatter fans and these days there seems to be a bit of trend towards 80mm fans(and I think Noctua has some fans for that application).

Definitely. Using a set of Thermalright 60mm fans as exhaust to compliment the GPU as exhaust in the Meshlicious.

Found a 3D print that lets you mount 2.

I was looking at a couple of These for a different build..

you could use in your nas. A little bit of tooling could work, or 3d print 60-70mm adapter
