Watercool Presents New NF-A20 Fan in Cooperation With Noctua

In cooperation with Noctua, we at WATERCOOL proudly present the ideal fan for our "MORA3 420 for Noctua". The new Noctua NF-A20 HS-PWM chromax.black offers a 40 percent higher flow rate as well as 90 percent more static pressure than the Noctua NF-A20 chromax.black.swap. With Noctua's proven SSO2 premium bearing, more than 150,000 hours MTTF and 6-year manufacturer's warranty, the NF-A20 HS-PWM chromax.black is the perfect choice for users who want to get the absolute maximum out of their MORA3!

"Our NF-A20 has always been very popular among MO-RA3 users, but with 800 RPM and a maximum of 18 dB(A), it is clearly tailored to silent enthusiasts," says Roland Mossig (Noctua CEO) "Therefore, we are even more pleased to now be able to offer the faster-spinning HS-PWM chromax.black model in cooperation with Watercool, which can significantly increases the cooling performance of radiators!"
Due to the enormous demand of our customers for an even more powerful alternative to the regular NF-A20 chromax-black.swap. Together with Noctua we have worked on a new model that offers a higher performance range, but can also be operated whisper quiet thanks to PWM control. The result was the Noctua NF-A20 HS-PWM (high-speed PWM) chromax.black in an attractive, all-black chromax.black design.

With its extended speed of up to 1200 RPM, it achieves over 40% more flow rate as well as over 90% more static pressure compared to the regular PWM verion with 800 RPM. Thanks to the PWM control and a minimum speed of around 400rpm, silent enthusiasts also won't be disappointed.

This makes the fan the ideal addition to the recently introduced MO-RA3 420 for Noctua NF-A20 fans. The combination of the newly developed mounting frame, a non-visible fan screw connection and the MO-RA X-Splitter suitable for Noctua NF-A20 fans, impresses with a clean look and unbridled performance.

"Our MO-RA3 radiator is one of the most popular products in our assortment. Accordingly, we were looking for a cooperation with the premium manufacturer from Austria," says Rico Weber (WATERCOOL CEO), "The NF-A20 HS-PWM chromax.black, which was customized especially for our needs, now shows the impressive result of this cooperation."

The Noctua NF-A20 HS-PWM chromax.black is now available for pre-order at a price of €34.95 in the WATERCOOL store and will soon also be available from selected retailers.

The NF-A20 already has a rounded frame. This is AFAIK due to there not really being a 200mm fan standard, so it shares mounting holes with 180mm fans (which aren't a standard either, but there is some more agreement there).

Why would you want a product with lower performance than a cheap 360mm internal radiator?

Hi,
Never used a mora have you

My 360mm is the only rad that dropped my water temp 2c from room ambient every other read combo was nearly 5c+ so mora is like three cheap 360 rads :laugh:
Mora's are not water flow restrictive at all they do have foot print outside the case is the only negative three cheap 360 the water flow would be effected a lot.

My inter rads are all dual gtx type so the mora 360 is just a on top of that solution not a only solution.

Besides my D450 case can not fit a 360mm rad cheap or expensive so there is that too :laugh:

I thought these were 120 mm fans from the rad pic, but it's actually 200 mm... Massive rad..

Now make a 400x50mm, Noctua! :rockout:

I have, they're just not great performers compared to an equal amount of area in radiators with effective designs (i.e. not round tubes and flat fins.)

That being said, I 100% misinterpreted what you wrote and I have nobody to blame but myself for not drinking enough caffeine before commenting. I don't even know what I thought you were saying anymore. My bad!

The power lead for that fan is about the shortest I've seen.

It's about time they came out with the higher power version of the NF-A20. I asked Noctua tech support about this fan three years ago.

I'd like to see a system with that cooling system. :toast: My NH-D15 seems so inadequate for an AMD R9 5950X. The RTX3090-O24 could use some.

That is normal. Center is a hub to connect all four fans too.

No AM4 support? NH-D15 still rules for air-coolers?

Imagine that really huge, cooling a massive stationary diesel engine/generator/pump.

Annoyed that I just bought the 800 RPM version, would definitely welcome the airflow bump in the retrofit I'm doing to a Jonsbo V8.

Hey, that looks perfect for alder lake! Seriously though, I wonder how much power that thing could dissipate.
