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."

Swiftech announces the release of an 8-Way PWM splitter with SATA connector, the function of this device is to connect up to 8 PWM devices (fans and/or pumps) to a single PWM fan connector on the motherboard, thus enabling speed-control of all connected PWM devices simultaneously. Swiftech recommends users to make use of the "CPU_Fan" connector of the motherboard, because most motherboard manufacturers usually allow a greater range of adjustments on this particular connector. Swiftech states that the SATA connector employed by the device, eliminates many of the problems encountered with the typical Molex connectors found on such devices, however it leaves us guessing what those problems are and which of them are addressed by their SATA solution.
