After introducing its first 5V 40mm fan 18 months ago, Noctua today presented 5V versions of its award-winning quiet NF-A6x25 60mm model.

Noctua has introduced 2 new 5v fans to its line up after they have introduce their 40mm model about 18 months ago. These new 60mm models are the NF A6x25 5v and A6x25 5V PWM. The non-PWM will run at a fix rpm of 3,000 and the PWM model for various speed control. Both of them feature's Noctua's proprietary Advanced Acoustic Optimization technology, Flow Acceleration Channels, Stepped Inlet Design, and Inner Surface Microstructure. Noctua has also included their OmniJoinTM Adaptor Set, allowing proprietary fan connection, and a integrated diode for polarity protection. in case if the users accidentally connect it with reverse polarity. With a demand among DIYers and industrial partners, these fans are a great replacement since they provide much quiet operation, compare to the stock ones, such as their 40mm model, used in DVR's, network switches, and NAS. Both fans comes with a 6 year warranty and price is 14.90 EUR / $17.90 USD.

How so? With "mud black" you can make it work with plain black cases. The default Noctua scheme looks jarringly out of place in a build, even if you are using a legacy off-white PC case.

silent builds tend to be closed up anyway, windows just add noise.  

 

Noctua still has their industrial series which are colored better for asthetics.

Are these even quiet at 3k rpm?  Id like to put one on my router since my 12v noctua on there likes to stall at 5v occasionally.

I have one of their smaller models of fans in my small nas, it is significantly quieter than the old fan, and the coolermaster (i think) fan that i bought to replace the first. But then again the max ive had it spin to has been around 2.4k.

 

So in a completely anecdotal opinion, i would go with "its likely not quiet, but its still likely quieter than other companies offerings"

hm, the pwm version would be great if I had pwm control there.  I really don't need much airflow since it is so small but I don't want to hear it at all.  Perhaps I'll just look around for a 12v fan that works well at 5v
