Noctua is expanding its range of premium products with a new series of compact fans aimed at DIY and industrial customers. Thanks to their size, these fans fit perfectly into devices such as NAS enclosures and oscilloscopes.
The NF-A6x15 series includes fans of 60 mm with four slightly different models: NF-A6x15 PWM, NF-A6x15 FLX, NF-A6x15 5V PWM and NF-A6x15 5V. As their names suggest, some use pulse width modulation (PWM), while others are powered by DC, either in 5 or 12 volts. The 5V model is particularly convenient for devices that do not incorporate a fan connector by design.
Although the fans of 60 mm are not common on computers, they are common in small or industrial machines, such as NAS enclosures, 3D printers, oscilloscopes and various tools. Moreover, this series displays a thickness reduced to 15 mmmaking it ideal for machines that cannot accommodate the wider NF-A6x25 models.
Roland Mossig, CEO of Noctua, points out: “The NF-A6x25 has seen great success over the years, but some applications requiring high-capacity fans 60 mm can only accommodate thinner models, with a maximum thickness of 15 mm – that’s where the new NF-A6x15 comes in.”
Performance and technical characteristics
In terms of performance, the NF-A6x15 stands out with its improved aerodynamics and flow acceleration channels, thus providing efficient cooling. Noctua's signature rubber frame and mounts ensure minimal vibration transmission, ensuring smooth and quiet operation. According to the manufacturer, this model can achieve an air flow of up to 23,4 m³/h and a static pressure of 2.43 mmH₂Owhile having a sound level of only 19,8 dB(A).
