> 24 hourI bought two of these little gems with the intent of installing them to cool a pair of NVMe drives. Instead I created a bracket to mount both to place on the front end of an Sapphire RX580 Nitro. I set the fan speed to the lowest setting in BIOS and now the main GPU fans never come on. Temps are always in the mid 20c. Now I have to buy two more for the NVMe drives.

> 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 hourThis is a very good fan that fitted well on my Nvidia Jetson Nano. It has a very low noise when it is running at full speed. I did some experiments by running various loads on the CPU to see how it behaves and it worked really well to keep the CPU temperature at the set value.

> 24 hourI’m using this to cool my Jetson Nano. It works great and it’s so quiet I have to look at it to see if it’s running.

> 24 hourperfect for the Nvidia Jetson Nano.

> 24 hourIts a little tall in proportion to the Jetson Nano but it works great.

> 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 hourBought to replace noisy fans in a 1U unifi router enclosure. These are noisier, though theyre also much higher CFM.

> 24 hourWorks the way is supposed to as advertised. A little bit noisy tho, but it does cool down my Jetson Nano quite a bit.
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. |
