Noctua è da sempre un punto di riferimento per quanto riguarda la dissipazione, propone soluzioni di ogni misura, colore e potenza. Le ventole dell’azienda Austriaca sono frutto di ricerche e sviluppo, ricche di peculiarità innovative che ne determinano l’altissimo standard di qualità. Noctua ci ha fornito i sample dei nuovi modelli Premium Fan pluripremiati da 140mm e 150mm.

Le ventole Noctua che testeremo oggi hanno tutte le esclusive tecnologie SSO2 e AAO Frame:

Specifiche:

“The NF-A14 is a premium quality quiet 140mm fan with a square frame that complies with Noctua’s AAO (Advanced Acoustic Optimisation) standard. Its square shape and 140mm mounting holes (124.5mm spacing) make it ideal for use on watercooling radiators or as an upgrade for 140mm case fans. Featuring sophisticated aerodynamic design measures such as Flow Acceleration Channels, the NF-A14 further improves the renowned quiet cooling performance of the award-winning NF-P14. The PWM version sports Noctua’s custom designed NE-FD1 IC for fully automatic speed control via 4-pin fan headers and comes with a Low-Noise-Adaptor to reduce the maximum speed during PWM control from 1500rpm to 1200rpm. Its performance-oriented 1500rpm top speed and comprehensive speed control options make the NF-A14 PWM an elite choice for users who strive to strike a perfect balance between excellent cooling capacity and superb quietness of operation, be it on watercooling radiators, on heatsinks or in case ventilation.” Sito Noctua

“The NF-A15 is a premium quality quiet 140mm fan with a round frame that complies with Noctua’s AAO (Advanced Acoustic Optimisation) standard. The NF-A15’s frame features 120mm mounting holes (105mm spacing) and has been enlarged to 150mm width in order to provide superior performance on today’s high-end CPU coolers. Featuring sophisticated aerodynamic design measures such as Flow Acceleration Channels, the NF-A15 further improves the renowned quiet cooling performance of the award-winning NF-P14. Noctua’s custom designed PWM IC for fully automatic speed control and reference class SSO2 bearings guarantee superb running smoothness and excellent long-term stability. Topped off with modular cabling, a Low-Noise Adaptor and 6 years manufacturer’s warranty, the NF-A15 is a premium choice for the highest demands.” Sito Noctua

Sleeving dei cavi e dotazione bundle sempre fantastico, l’azienda Austriaca non si smentisce mai da questo punto di vista. Facile il montaggio con i gommini rapidi in dotazione e l’utilizzo con le prolunghe e gli adattatori presenti, inoltre tutte le ventole sono munite dei gommini anti-vibrazione a gli angoli.
Le ventole da 140mm e 150mm sono più efficienti e silenziose delle comuni e quasi sempre usate da 120mm, infatti le Noctua in esame di comportano benissimo!
Perfette, silenziose ed adatte ad ogni utilizzo. Le versioni PWM riescono a combinare in modo fantastico silenziosità e potenza dissipante, fanno il loro dovere in ogni situazione di utilizzo: nei case per creare il flusso d’aria, sul dissipatore per CPU e sui radiatori dell’impianto a liquido, insomma versatili ed affidabili.
Qualità dei materiali superba (come sempre), Noctua rimane un punto di riferimento per le ventole. Abbiamo provato 4 modelli, 3 da 140mm ed 1 da 150mm, tutti fantastici e nella colorazione marrone/beige classica Noctua (ricordiamo che propone anche modelli in colorazione grigia e nera, magari per chi le ha particolarmente a vista e tiene fedeltà all’estetica).
