🌀 Noctua Premium Quiet Fan, NF-A4x10 PWM, 4-Pin (40x10mm, Brown) Review

These little fans are quiet, efficient and small enough to fit into my Mini-ITX case (Fractal Node 202). I used a fan to blow hot air out of the CPU bay and saw temperatures drop about 6-8C under load. The quality of the fans can be seen on the product and the packaging as well as the additional cables and plugs supplied. My only complaint, as I'm sure everyone can see, is the colors. I understand this is a hallmark of their product line, but for the love of all that is sacred, give us a plain…

Noctua fans are top notch and this little one is no exception. I replaced my inverter's noisy stock fan with this Noctua and it's now completely silent. No more annoying whining in my work truck! As a bonus, the Noctua fan had a connector that I could plug into my inverter's wiring, so I didn't have to cut the Noctua fan's wiring. It also includes a low-noise adapter and splitter. I've bought hundreds of Noctua fans and yes most of them are puke colored but who cares? Performance is much more…

A bit pricey but considering it comes with a Y-cable, an extension cord, a low-noise adapter and a few other adapters that I don't use it's a great offer. On top of that, it throws some air up and does it quietly. Very impressed and will look to Noctua again in the future. Excellent value for money and quality. My use case is VRM cooling on an ASRock Z390 Phantom Gaming 4 motherboard. If you are getting thermal throttling due to VRM temperatures it might be worth a try. I just tied it to the…

I bought this to cool down a hot spot on my computer motherboard where there was stagnant air. (Besides the top VRMs) Even if the color choice sucks for these fans, I love Noctua fans! They are of very high quality! Well built and quiet! Although the fan runs at high speeds because it's so small, I rarely hear it unless I'm really stressing my system with gaming and have an aggressive fan curve to keep it cool. As expected by most fans! If I'm only running my computer for non-gaming or…

Works very well. Quiet, not the best airflow but ok. A delightful mini Noctua for some special use cases like cooling a Raspberry Pi or 3D printer. I put one in an itx mini build that needed a little more airflow. It's kind of insane how many things they give you with it (all those accessories add a lot to the cost): - mounting screws and anti-vibration mounts - fan extension cables - low noise adapter - fan splitter - wiring kit to customize, all that makes this cost is too high, and if you…

I bought this to cool the LSI 9207-8i (https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0085FT2JC) host bus adapter and it seems to be fine function. This fan spins at just under 5cfm (at top speed) with a noise level of just under 20dB, which seems pretty typical. PWM means it can be plugged into a PWM fan header to control its speed for even less noise, although it's barely audible from a few feet away, even at full throttle. It also comes with a variety of accessories, including a PWM-capable Y-adapter that lets…

Yup. Noctua wins again! For those unfamiliar with fans and their intricacies, smaller fans often tend to be noisier than larger fans. Tiny fans like 40mm or less can be painfully annoying as the RPMs reach breakneck speeds. Noctua managed to keep the size of the hub small enough that air can actually flow through the fins instead of squeezing through the gap between them. concentrator and bowl. This eliminates the nagging "whistle" that is common with most small fans. The tech behind it is…

After a lot of trial and error I figured out how to fit an exhaust fan in my X300. I have no doubt that this also applies to the A300. Since I've been looking for someone who has successfully done this and couldn't find anyone who has, I thought someone might appreciate this knowledge. My Deskmini build is for everyday use and media playback alongside my expensive gaming PC as I spend very little time actually using that much power. The focus of this build is on suitable graphics for 4k media…
