Noctua Innovates New Fan Design
Noctua displayed its new innovation in fan design, called Focused Flow. One of the first fans that use this design come in 120 mm size. Its design goal is to channel (or "focus") air flow towards the center of the fan, making it ideal for use with heatsinks and radiators. The biggest design change here is the stator guide vanes, that are a set of structures permanently fixed between the frame and the center. There are a number of innovations that improve air flow and reduce noise. Notable features are micro-structures on the inner-walls of the frame that dampens the whipping noise made by rotating fan-blades, and integrated vibration dampening material at the edges. The new Focused Flow 120 fan will be used by Noctua on all its upcoming CPU coolers.

Noctua coolers are great, but Noctua please change the colour scheme of your fans. They look pathetic.

"Focused Flow" does certainly sound a bit less crass than Silverstone's "Air Penetrator".

WOW
Is this Noctua's PWM controlled fan? Nice rubber corners. I may have to buy 1 and try it out.

That looks like a nice fan.
I personally don't mind the color scheme they use, it's pretty subtle and better then as if they used a brighter color like green or red.

The thing is what is consider noisy is sometime subjective, the pitch of the noise is also a big factor. Quote:
It is funny that people thinks that non-PWM fans can't be controlled. All PWM adds for the most case is extra cost for hardly any benefit.

I'd rather have a PWM fan any day of the week over one that wasn't. Quite on the desktop and all out when I can't hear it gaming.

I can't wait till they find a way to make case fans like the new dyson bladeless fans.

You realize Dyson just hides the fans, right?
