New Noctua 120mm, 140mm, 120mm slim, and 200mm fans

[Aibohphobia]

These fans are the next generation in the A-series and follow the P12 fans on. What airflow and static pressure is concerned they are positioned between S12A and F12 to generate an optimal mix between both properties. That would make them particularly suitable for heatsinks and radiators, and less as case fans. The 120mm version is almost ready, but the 140mm version must be some tinkering. One of the most difficult problems is the high precision which is necessary to realize the small space of only 0.5 mm between the blades and the casing of the fan. By thermal expansion would then be able to run the blades against the housing when not accurate enough produced.

120mm. Gentle Typhoon competitor? Hope it performs well because the bearing noise on the GTs prevent me from using them.

140mm prototype

120mm slim. Looks like the design has changed since the prototype from Computex 2014: http://www.noctua.at/main.php?show=news_list&news_id=94

200mm

[Tedster]

YES! 200MM NOCTUA!

 

 I don't have a use for one yet, but I probably will and it'll probably be awesome.

[EarthboundHero]

Finally been waiting for a 200MM.

[patrickjp93]

I see. Noctua's getting closer to Gentle Typhoon designs. Should be even more highly performing at the same noise now.

Hey Noctua, here let me help you:

 

[BoredErica]

I'd pitch in a good $30 or so if Linus does a controlled fan shootout of good quality. Crowdfund reviews?  :huh:

[Techhog]

I'm convinced at this point that they just like making ugly fans.

That color scheme is basically iconic now. It's not going away, especially since the space grey redux line didn't really sell.

I think the deal is its like 'Our fans look like shit but people are still willing to use them because of how good they are'.

[GrimNeo]

I will be buying a couple of these fans for sure with my new case.

[SurvivorNVL]

I'll take four of the 140mm's, thank you.

[Faceman]

I'm interested in how the thin 120s perform.

[Norman_the_Owl]

YES! 200MM NOCTUA!

I've been planning on getting two 180mm fans on the front of my G5 for intake...

Might just get these instead

[patrickjp93]

Seriously, has no one else noticed the blade design is EXACTLY that of the Scythe/Nidec Servo "Gentle Typhoon" (plus the turbulence channels that are Noctua's thing)? It even has the same air current slots on the back of the servo.

200mm noctua OMG, we saw that on 2014, now it's getting closer to be true.

[SirSquid]

Now if only they had a 230mm fan.

[patrickjp93]

Now if only they had a 230mm fan.

??? What sort of case uses a 230mm fan?

[RexinOridle]

Am I the only one who thinks people ripping off gentle typhoon design?

[Deli]

Only if Noctua makes PPC black versions of these fans. Why, why poo brown , why?

 

Anyone has tutorial to paint a Noctua fan? :lol:

[Agosto]

I hope that at least the 120mm one get released soon. VERY soon.

No...

The HAF X has a 230mm front fan.

bitfenix prodigy does

[Colonel_Gerdauf]

BlackHawk Ultra, for example. It has enough room for a single 360mm fan, if it even exists.

 

To be fair, that case in general is just absurd!
