Noctua recently expanded its A-series lineup of premium cooling fans by launching the slim-profile NF-A6x15, a quiet cooling fan specifically tailored for applications requiring slimmer dimensions without compromising on performance. The new 15mm-thick model complements the popular NF-A6x25 model, a 25mm-thick fan that’s been a staple in the market for years. This release reflects Noctua’s response to a demand for high-quality, compact cooling solutions, particularly for industrial applications, 3D printing, and DIY fan replacements in space-restricted devices.
Available in both 12V and 5V options, the NF-A6x15 offers additional flexibility with models that include either a 3-pin or PWM 4-pin connector. This versatility allows users to select the model best suited for their cooling requirements, whether for precise fan control or continuous, consistent airflow. The fan features Noctua’s signature aerodynamic enhancements, such as Flow Acceleration Channels, which optimize airflow while minimizing noise. It’s also built with Noctua’s AAO (Advanced Acoustic Optimization) frame, known for its vibration control and robust design that contribute to quieter and smoother performance, even in high-demand environments.
For maximum compatibility, the NF-A6x15 package includes Noctua’s OmniJoin adaptor set, allowing the fan to work seamlessly with custom headers. Additionally, it comes with a USB-A power adaptor, making it compatible with power banks and other devices with USB host ports, which broadens its usage beyond traditional PC cases. This feature provides flexibility for users who may need a compact fan solution for DIY projects or portable devices.
To complement the NF-A6x15 release, Noctua has also introduced the NA-SC1 Sx2 3-way PWM splitter cable set. This splitter enables users to run up to five fans off a single fan header, an ideal solution for PC builders, DIY enthusiasts, and anyone needing additional ventilation across various setups. Each NA-SC1 package contains two 3-way splitter cables that allow users to connect three fans to a single header. The splitters can be daisy-chained, enabling up to five fans to be powered and controlled simultaneously from one header. Built with high-quality black fiberglass silicone sleeving, the NA-SC1 cables are designed for durability, making them suitable for both PC and broader ventilation applications.
In terms of pricing, Noctua has set the NF-A6x15 models (available in both PWM and FLX variants as well as a 5V version) at EUR 16.90 / USD 14.90 each, maintaining affordability while meeting the brand’s high-quality standards. The NA-SC1 Sx2 splitter cable set is priced at EUR 9.90 / USD 9.90, providing a cost-effective solution for users looking to optimize airflow and reduce fan header usage in complex cooling setups. All products are available immediately through Noctua’s official Amazon stores, ensuring easy access for customers.
