Perfect match for Raspberry PI

This is classic Noctua quality in a bespoke 5V package perfectly suited for the Raspberry PI 4b cooling system. Highly recommended if you need more cooling for your R-PI.

Pros
  • Free for educational purposes
Cons
  • Too long to wait

The 5V USB adapter is great for console/home theater cooling.

I bought this with an AC Infinity mounting plate. Installed on the back of a TV stand to blow hot air away from my PS4. Works perfectly. Not quiet". At full speed, the NF-A8 spins at 2200 rpm. No fan is silent at 2200 rpm, not even the Noctua. Due to the nature of the 5V USB adapter, it basically always runs at full speed. But it does exactly what I wanted; pulling the hot air emitted by the PS4 out of the case, making the PS4 run quieter/cooler. , low background noise. This fan has been…

Pros
  • Large selection
Cons
  • Nothing here

The fan is quiet, but you can hear the air movement.

I thought the fan was completely silent, it is. but the amount of air it moves makes it easily audible. I bought it to cool my 4k TV which overheats when used horizontally as a gaming table. The addition of this fan allows me to use it for hours without overheating. I have used Noctura fans in the past and I expect quality and this fan lives up to it. One downside: Revain shipped it in an envelope and when I opened it the box was crushed, dirty and had two dirty circular areas that were…

Pros
  • Fingers crossed
Cons
  • Lots of things

I like this USB adapter and it's pretty good.

Noctua has never disappointed me with its noise. This is very convenient when using mt's proprietary USB fan speed controller with the standard USB adapter. The USB adapter saves my labor for customization and makes it easier to integrate into my solution.

Pros
  • Hands-free
Cons
  • Very expensive

Worked well for fans and cooling

Used this fan to cool a switch box with a light controller as part of my Christmas light show. The controller could control the speed of the fan to keep the box cool.

Pros
  • Complete kit
Cons
  • Expensive insurance

No problems Electronics

I use 2 of these in my ITX build. It's enough to keep my components cool with no worries. My build: 8600k overclocked to 4.5GHz, EVGA 1080ti, 16gbx2 g.skill f4-3200c16-16gvk, asus z370i and Thermaltake v1 core. I also use 1 Noctua NF-A20 fan on the front and 2 Noctua NF-A9 PWM fans on my Noctua NH-D9L cooler. Works great since August 2018. Not noisy at all.

Pros
  • even old
Cons
  • understandable Some little things

quiet fan but horribly quiet screws

will work great once you figure out how to install it with quiet screws. It took forever to install, but once it's in, it's super quiet.

Pros
  • handy thing
Cons
  • I'm not sure
