From Noctua Press Release: Noctua today launched its new HOME product line for home, office and multi-purpose ventilation. Starting with two fan sets and nine modular accessory products that enable Noctua fans to be used for various cooling tasks outside the realm of PC cooling, the new HOME line is all about leveraging Noctua’s award-winning fan technology in novel fields of application.
“Noctua originates from the PC cooling market, but our fans’ award-winning performance, quietness of operation and long-term stability are just as useful in various other applications” says Roland Mossig (Noctua CEO). “Our industrial clients as well as tech-savvy DIYers have already been using our fans for applications beyond the PC cooling space for many years, so the new HOME line marks the next step in leveraging our technologies for a wider scope of cooling demands and making them more accessible for a broader audience.”
The launch lineup of Noctua’s HOME line comprises two complete, ready-to-use fan sets as well as nine modular accessory products, all of which make it possible to employ Noctua fans for typical home, office or multi-purpose ventilation tasks. For example, the NV-FM1 is a highly versatile, pivoting mount for 120 and 140mm fans that cannot only be used as a simple stand on desks or other level surfaces, but can also be fixed to walls, ceilings, furniture, or other objects. For applications that require a strong, focused beam of airflow, it can be paired with the tailored NV-AA1-12 airflow amplifier that significantly enhances the fan’s ventilation performance. Both products are bundled in the NV-FS1 set with the award-winning NF-A12x25 fan, an NA-FC1 fan controller as well as the new NV-PS1 230/115V AC to 12V DC power supply plus a fan grill and extension cable. In sum, the NV-FS1 is a sturdy, premium grade quiet desk or room fan that can be installed just about anywhere using screws, zip-ties or the integrated magnets.
The NV-MPG1 multi-purpose gaskets are ideal for placing a cooling fan on top of A/V receivers, DVRs, video game consoles, stereo equipment, routers, switches, set-top-boxes or other devices that have ventilation holes on top. By contrast, the NV-MPP1 multi-purpose pads have been conceived for placing fans underneath devices that have ventilation holes at the bottom side. The NV-FS2 set combines the gasket and the pads with an NF-A12x25 fan, NA-FC1 controller, NV-PS1 power supply, NA-FC1 fan controller, fan grill and extension cable, which makes for a highly adaptable cooling package that can be used for various device cooling applications, but also as a simple desk fan or for enhancing the efficiency of heating radiators.
Last but not least, the NV-FH2 is an even more robust version of the popular NA-FH1 8-way fan hub, tailored for home, office and multi-purpose ventilation applications. As such, it trades the NA-FH1’s S-ATA power input for a 12V barrel connector and features a removable cover for mechanical protection and a clean appearance. The NV-SPH1 set combines the NV-FH2 with the new NV-PS1 power supply, giving customers a complete, safe and certified solution for powering up to 8 fans from the mains.
Combined with Noctua’s existing ecosystem of 40, 60, 80, 92, 120, 140 and 200mm fans (24V, 12V, 5V with USB power adaptor cables) as well as various accessory products such as fan grills and extension or splitter cables, the new HOME line products give customers a trusted, modular and highly flexible toolbox for solving typical cooling challenges in their homes, offices and various other environments.
