Noctua Launches HOME Product Line for Home, Office and Multi-purpose Ventilation
Noctua today launched its new HOME product line for home, office and multi-purpose ventilation. Starting with two fan sets and nine modular accessory products that enable Noctua fans to be used for various cooling tasks outside the realm of PC cooling, the new HOME line is all about leveraging Noctua's award-winning fan technology in novel fields of application. "Noctua originates from the PC cooling market, but our fans' award-winning performance, quietness of operation and long-term stability are just as useful in various other applications" says Roland Mossig (Noctua CEO). "Our industrial clients as well as tech-savvy DIYers have already been using our fans for applications beyond the PC cooling space for many years, so the new HOME line marks the next step in leveraging our technologies for a wider scope of cooling demands and making them more accessible for a broader audience."
The launch lineup of Noctua's HOME line comprises two complete, ready-to-use fan sets as well as nine modular accessory products, all of which make it possible to employ Noctua fans for typical home, office or multi-purpose ventilation tasks. For example, the NV-FM1 is a highly versatile, pivoting mount for 120 and 140 mm fans that cannot only be used as a simple stand on desks or other level surfaces, but can also be fixed to walls, ceilings, furniture, or other objects. For applications that require a strong, focused beam of airflow, it can be paired with the tailored NV-AA1-12 airflow amplifier that significantly enhances the fan's ventilation performance. Both products are bundled in the NV-FS1 set with the award-winning NF-A12x25 fan, an NA-FC1 fan controller as well as the new NV-PS1 230/115 V AC to 12 V DC power supply plus a fan grill and extension cable. In sum, the NV-FS1 is a sturdy, premium grade quiet desk or room fan that can be installed just about anywhere using screws, zip-ties or the integrated magnets.
The NV-MPG1 multi-purpose gaskets are ideal for placing a cooling fan on top of A/V receivers, DVRs, video game consoles, stereo equipment, routers, switches, set-top-boxes or other devices that have ventilation holes on top. By contrast, the NV-MPP1 multi-purpose pads have been conceived for placing fans underneath devices that have ventilation holes at the bottom side. The NV-FS2 set combines the gasket and the pads with an NF-A12x25 fan, NA-FC1 controller, NV-PS1 power supply, NA-FC1 fan controller, fan grill and extension cable, which makes for a highly adaptable cooling package that can be used for various device cooling applications, but also as a simple desk fan or for enhancing the efficiency of heating radiators.
Last but not least, the NV-FH2 is an even more robust version of the popular NA-FH1 8-way fan hub, tailored for home, office and multi-purpose ventilation applications. As such, it trades the NA-FH1's S-ATA power input for a 12 V barrel connector and features a removable cover for mechanical protection and a clean appearance. The NV-SPH1 set combines the NV-FH2 with the new NV-PS1 power supply, giving customers a complete, safe and certified solution for powering up to 8 fans from the mains.
Combined with Noctua's existing ecosystem of 40, 60, 80, 92, 120, 140 and 200 mm fans (24 V, 12 V, 5 V with USB power adaptor cables) as well as various accessory products such as fan grills and extension or splitter cables, the new HOME line products give customers a trusted, modular and highly flexible toolbox for solving typical cooling challenges in their homes, offices and various other environments.

My bank account is shivering.
At least it looks like I can make use of one or two A12x25 lying in my room.
A set with one appliance fan costs only 80 Euro.
The plastic air guide costs 15 Euro.
I understand that the appliance fans can be really practical, but the price for one fan, even if it is with a power supply, seems very high.
A great thing is that these products are in a normal black colour scheme, and not in that horrible traditional poop leaving pink a**hole scheme. Noctua commited a horrible crime with their traditional colour scheme. They destroyed aesthetics or God knows how many PC builds and ruined aesthetic perception of a huge number of people.
The more I think about these products the more I like them and dislike their pricing.
I do not undestand this: The sets available seem to be prepared to run just one fan.
If you want to run more fans, you are supposed to buy this product:
noctua.at/en/nv-sph1
and where are the individual fans sets for it? Are you supposed to build each fan set from individual parts? Where are the grills?
The fan mount and fan guide may be very practical inside the PC cases to blow air where it is needed. I think that they should make these for this purpose for smaller fans (92 or 80mm?), so that they fit inside the PC cases better. Perhaps making the air guide a little bit shorter too.
I had a fan lying on an integrated amp in past. It really helped.
Also when I decreased winter temperatures in the flat I started having problems with mold. I ended up making almost exactly the same 120mm standalone fan blowing air between the wall and a bookcase. I would have really liked to have that nice fan holder...
Hopefully there is actual device set low RPM options as well. I have Noctua PC fans that can go down to 500RPM but all the Chinese stuff wont go lower than 1500RPM.
Or just spend 20-40 or so on a small Vornado and get the same focused range for cheaper. And then have enough money left over for a basic 120 or 140 fan + power adapter for cooling a specific peripheral.
It feels like the luftstromverstärker should cost 5-7 Euro and not 15.
Years and still no new 140mm fan or D16
My newer NH-D15 Redux purchase didn't go that well either, cooler has resonance when the fans are in a pull config.
To me it seems they've suffered from a drop in quality post pandemic. They've been lazy in improving and seem to want to ride off their reputation. $39 for a tiny metal stand is ridiculous and that doesn't even include a power supply for the fan.
For those who dont like it, the cheap chinese stuff wont be going anywhere.
vacuums are awesome, but everything else is overpriced.
