> 3 dayThe quality and thought these guys put into these fans is mind blowing (little pun there). The detail in the packaging alone, the inclusion of adapter and extension cables, heat shrink on cable cover ends, every detail considered, they really are proud of their fan products. And they should be. These are some quiet fans. I replaced three in a Niles multi-zone amplifier, which for some reason the manufacturer leaves running all the time. The factory fans made mildly annoying fan hum for the past 7 years until the hum turned to a droning whine. After reading the reviews I ordered 3 of these fans and installed them. These fans are unbelievablely quiet. 3 fans running and unless you put your ear right up to the equipment you wouldnt know that it is running. I wish I had known if these fans 7 years ago. Very nicely made product Noctua.

> 3 dayI needed a 5v three-wire fan to replace a failed unit. The Noctua fan was a perfect fit. It is working fine, but it is too soon to comment on long-term durability. The kit came with numerous adapters that I did not need. I would have preferred a fan only option at a lower price.

> 3 dayAfter installing one very noisy DVR I vowed that I would find a way to gain a good nights sleep. Replaced the DVR cheapo fan with the Noctua fan. The wiring adapters that came with the fan made for an easy installation. The Noctua fan was extremely quiet. I can sleep again.

Greater than one weekI used this fan in a rather odd repair. I have a wireless phone charger that has a built in fan, after about 6 months of use the fan starting to make a grinding noise. I figured what the heck lets have some fun and take it apart see what kind of fan is in there.

> 3 dayI buy these for my raspberry pi projects. I power them directly from the pis 5 volt. They are very quiet fans.

Greater than one weekMounted to my Pi and ran it off GPIOs. Super quiet and i just love the way noctua fans look and feel. Just reeks of quality everywhere.
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 ChannelsThe 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 BearingThe 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 sizeThanks 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 MicrostructuresWith 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. |
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.
