"Noctua originated in the PC cooling market, but our fans' award-winning performance, quiet operation and long-term stability are equally useful in various other applications," said Roland Mossig (Noctua CEO). "Our industrial customers as well as tech-savvy do-it-yourselfers have already been using our fans for applications beyond PC cooling for many years, so the new HOME line marks the next step in leveraging our technologies for a wider range of cooling needs and make them more accessible to a wider audience."
The launch of Noctua's HOME line includes two complete, ready-to-use fan kits as well as nine modular accessory products, all of which enable Noctua's fans to be used for typical home, office or multi-use ventilation tasks. For example, the NV-FM1 is a highly versatile swivel bracket for 120 and 140mm fans that can not only be used as a simple stand on desks or other flat surfaces, but can also be attached to walls, ceilings, furniture or other objects. For applications that require a strong, focused airflow, it can be combined with the custom NV-AA1-12 airflow amplifier, which significantly improves the fan's ventilation performance. Both products are brought together in the NV-FS1 kit 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 grille and an extension cord. Overall, the NV-FS1 is a robust, premium quality, quiet desktop or room fan that can be installed virtually anywhere using screws, cable ties or the integrated magnets.
NV-MPG1 multi-purpose gaskets are ideal for placing a cooling fan on top of A/V receivers, DVRs, video game consoles, stereos, routers, switches, set-top boxes or other devices that have ventilation holes on top. In contrast, the NV-MPP1 multi-purpose pads are designed to place fans under devices that have ventilation holes on the underside. The NV-FS2 kit combines the gasket and pads with an NF-A12x25 fan, NA-FC1 controller, NV-PS1 power supply, NA-FC1 fan controller, fan grille and extension cord, making it a highly customizable cooling package that can be used for various device cooling applications , but also as a simple desk fan or to improve the efficiency of heaters.
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 replaces the NA-FH1's S-ATA power input with a 12V cylinder plug and features a removable cover for mechanical protection and a clean look. The NV-SPH1 kit combines the NV-FH2 with the new NV-PS1 power supply, giving customers a complete, safe and certified solution to power 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 adapter cables) as well as various accessory products such as fan grilles and extension or splitter cables, the new HOME-line products provide customers a trusted, modular and highly flexible toolbox to solve typical cooling challenges in their homes, offices and various other environments.
