> 24 hourThe rubber anti-vibration pads can squeeze out and detach if you sandwich the fan between a fan guard and a Jetson Nanos heat sink then bolt it down tight.

> 24 hourI was replacing the 5v fan in a Netgear switch to be more quiet, but these 5V Noctuas barely move any air (Tried both the 4-pin and 3-pin version of the 5v Noctua.) I ended up putting in a 12V fan that starts at 5v (not Noctua) and it moves more air than the 5v Noctua without too much noise...

> 24 hourLooked up the wiring diagram on Noctua to make sure I had it right, looked up an easy little PWM can script, and fired right up. Only had to plug it into 5V, Ground, and the PWM pin set in the script. Works awesome, and its the same price as the non-PWM fan. Its almost silent if youre right by it. If your more than a few feet away you wont hear it on high.

> 24 hourI am really impressed with the amount of additional cables, connectors, and mounting options provided. I ordered the fan to place inside of a fursuit (costume) head. It is very quiet, if even one person is talking you cannot hear it running. The air flow is low, but it is constant and hands free so that is very nice. I thought it might be much louder than it was which is why I ordered the PWM version. Since it is *so* quiet theres no reason to not let it spin at full speed unless your application is severely power limited.

> 24 hourThese are the best fans ever. Very quiet, easy to spin, move a lot of air and made of quality materials. They are a little on the expensive side, but thats because quality is more expensive.

> 24 hourThis fan is quite and keeps the Nano from throttling back during extensive AI/DL, however the cable is way too long for a NVIDIA Nano and had to be bunched up between the Nano heat sink and the top of the SBC case.

> 24 hourI was blow away by the quality of this fan. The details, the material feels like it will last a really long time. You can tell people did lots of research.

> 24 hourAwsome for using on you GPUs. I have dual cards and it fits right in between them, and keeps them cool beautifully

> 24 hourThis is one of the loudest fans Ive ever heard. This is the kind of fan you would use in a server room where you dont care about noise. On the plus side, it does blow a substantial amount of air for a little fan.

> 24 hourProduct advertised as quiet, sounds like a rocket ship. Too loud for silent setup use. Will be returning.
Featuring advanced aerodynamic design measures such as Flow Acceleration Channels and an AAO frame, the NF-A4x20 5V PWM is a PWM enabled 5V variant of Noctua’s highly optimised, premium quality quiet 40x20mm fan. The custom designed NE-FD3 PWM IC that integrates Smooth Commutation Drive technology and Noctua’s reference class SSO2 bearings assure superb running smoothness and excellent long-term stability. Topped off with modular cabling and the OmniJoin Adaptor Set, the NF-A4x20 5V PWM is a premium choice for demanding 5V applications that require PWM control.
5V PWM version
Many devices such as network or storage solutions use 5 volt 40mm fans with PWM speed control. With the same operating voltage, PWM support and the included OmniJoin adaptor set that makes it compatible with proprietary fan headers, the NF-A4x20 5V PWM is ideal for replacing noisy or broken 5V 40mm fans with PWM.
Please Note: Being a 5V fan, the NF-A4x20 5V PWM 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-A4x20 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-A4x20 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. |
Integrated Anti-Vibration PadsIntegrated Anti-Vibration Pads made from extra-soft silicone minimise the transmission of minute vibrations while maintaining full compatibility with all standard mounting systems and fan clips used on heatsinks. |
