    Noisy little fans. i purchased them to replace another ones ( louder ) thinking the positive reviews would reflect the outcome; sadly i think i paid too much for a little fan than i should.

    I replaced the fan in an old HP 26 port switch with this one. I added a resistor I had from another Noctua kit. It blows plenty of air to cool the switch and sounds much quieter. The switch gives a fault light, but otherwise works just fine. Ive been adding CAT6 wired internet to the rooms in my house. Wireless works, but nothing beats the hard line!

    The old fan on my Lorex was so loud right out of the box. I have had this one installed for a few months and it is still quiet, plus I can tell it has much more air flow.

    Slightly more cost than a cheap Chinese brand variant you find at neighborhood electronics store; this fan delivers on quality and reliability. You can tell as soon as you fire it up, its extremely quiet and moves volumes more air than the last unit. I installed onto my security camera DVR and couldnt be happier. I recommend this unit to anyone looking to replace a similar fan. This unit has several connector tips for different applications.

    I bought and tested a few 5v fans. The Noctua fan outperforms them all by ~20 degrees Celcius. The build quality is incredible and the soft silicone corner mounting points and fully sleeved cables are a plusses. I was able to use two of the included barbed rubber mounting rods instead of screws.

    This is a fantastic fan to use when modding your dreamcast. I am so pleased with this fan choice. Its super quiet, installs easily (with 3d printed mount) and was simple to rewire to the dreamcast connector.

    My first impression was the packaging was over the top. Once I got into the contents it makes sense. Item is carefully packed and includes just about any mounting hardware or wiring adapter to do a very clean install on anything with minimum fuss. I used two of these in a 10 yr old US Robotics 24 port managed switch that runs on my desk. The original fans were too noisy as the switch was never intended for desktop/office use. Until this item came up in a search, I used the only other silent fan brand, which was only offered in a 12v version and required a somewhat ugly external power arrangement. Not to mention the last ones barely lasted a year. I am so glad to see this competitive and apparently high quality model offered in a 5v version. My switch is quiet and cool again, back to using the original 5v power supply off the board. Time will tell, but this brand/product may be my new go-to choice!

Featuring advanced aerodynamic design measures such as Flow Acceleration Channels and an AAO standard frame, the NF-A4x10 5V is a dedicated 5V version of Noctua’s highly optimised, premium quality quiet 40x10mm fan. Smooth Commutation Drive technology and Noctua’s reference class SSO2 bearing ensure superb running smoothness and excellent long-term stability. Topped off with modular cabling and the OmniJoin Adaptor Set, the NF-A4x10 5V is a premium choice for demanding 5V applications.

5V version

Many devices such as network or storage solutions use 5 volt 40mm fans. With the same operating voltage and the included OmniJoin adaptor set that makes it compatible with proprietary fan headers, the NF-A4x10 5V is ideal for replacing noisy or broken 5V 40mm fans.

Please Note: Being a 5V fan, the NF-A4x10 5V cannot be run at 12V and will be damaged when used with typical 12V power sources such as PC motherboard fan headers.

Flow Acceleration Channels

The NF-A4x10 impeller features suction side Flow Acceleration Channels. By speeding up the airflow at the crucial outer blade regions, this measure reduces suction side flow separation and thus leads to better efficiency and lower vortex noise.

SSO2 Bearing

The NF-A4x10 features the further optimised second generation of Noctua"s renowned, time-tested SSO bearing. With SSO2, the rear magnet is placed closer to the axis to provide even better stabilisation, precision and durability.

Reduced motor hub size

Thanks to its streamlined, compact motor design, the NF-A4x10"s motor hub is smaller than with conventional 4cm fans. This allows for more blade surface area and thus contributes to the NF-A4x10"s superior airflow and pressure performance.

Inner Surface Microstructures

With the tips of the fan blades ploughing through the boundary layer created by the Inner Surface Microstructures, flow separation from the suction side of the blades is significantly suppressed, which results in reduced blade passing noise and improved airflow and pressure efficiency.
