Noctua NF-A9 FLX, Case fan, 92 mm

Description

The NF-A9 is a highly optimized, premium quality quiet 92mm fan. Featuring Noctua’s AAO (Advanced Acoustic Optimization) frame as well as sophisticated aerodynamic design measures such as Flow Acceleration Channels, the NF-A9 further improves the renowned quiet cooling performance of the award-winning NF-B9. The FLX version provides 1600/1250/1050rpm speed settings via the supplied low-noise adaptors in order to provide full flexibility in fine-tuning the fan for maximum ventilation performance or near-silent operation. Its superb running smoothness, reference-class SSO2 bearing and Noctua’s trusted premium quality make it an elite choice for the highest demands.

• Flow acceleration channels
• AAO frame
• Stepped Inlet Design
• Inner surface microstructures
• Integrated anti-vibration
• SSO2 bearing
• Commutation Drive 2
• 3 speed settings for full flexibility

• Flow acceleration channels
  The NF-A9 impeller features suction side Flow Acceleration Channels. By speeding up the airflow at the crucial outer blade regions, this measure reduces suction side flow separation and thus leads to better efficiency and lower vortex noise.
• AAO frame
  Noctua’s AAO (Advanced Acoustic Optimization) frames feature integrated anti-vibration pads as well as Noctua’s proprietary Stepped Inlet Design and Inner Surface Microstructures, both of which further refine the fan’s performance/noise efficiency.
• Stepped Inlet Design
  Noctua’s Stepped Inlet Design adds turbulence to the influx in order to facilitate the transition from laminar flow to turbulent flow, which reduces tonal intake noise, improves flow attachment and increases suction capacity, especially in space restricted environments.
• Inner surface microstructures
  With the tips of the fan blades reaching through the boundary layer created by the Inner Surface Microstructures, flow separation from the suction side of the blades is significantly suppressed, which results in reduced blade passing noise and improved airflow and pressure efficiency.
• Integrated anti-vibration
  Integrated anti-vibration pads made from extra-soft silicone minimize the transmission of minute vibrations while maintaining full compatibility with all standard screws and other mounting systems.
• SSO2 bearing
  The NF-A9 features the further optimized second generation of Noctua’s renowned, time-tested SSO bearing. With SSO2, the rear magnet is placed closer to the axis to provide even better stabilization, precision and durability.
• Commutation Drive 2
  TheNoctua’s advanced Smooth Commutation Drive system ensures superb running smoothness by eliminating torque variations and switching noises. This makes the NF-A9 remarkably quiet even at very close distance.
• 3 speed settings for full flexibility
  Providing 1600, 1250 and 1050 rpm speed settings via the supplied low-noise and ultra-low-noise adapters, the NF-A9 FLX (Flexibility) can be fine-tuned for superior airflow or maximum quietness.
