Con il comunicato stampa di seguito allegato, Noctua ha annunciato la sua prima ventola da 140mm. Si tratta della soluzione siglata NF-P14 FLX (cfr. le foto seguenti) che, utilizzando la tecnica proprietaria indicata con la terminologia di "Vortex-Control Notches", in base alla quale le alette della ventola sono modellate con due rientranze, promette, da un lato, una elevata efficienza aereodinamica e, dall'altro, un livello di rumore molto contenuto.
Tra le altre feature della nuova NF-P14 FLX segnaliamo, oltre alla dotazione delle tecnologie proprietarie SSO-Bearing e SCD2, la possibilità di montaggio nelle predisposizioni per le ventole da 140mm o in quelle per modelli da 120mm e la possibilità di regolazione del regime di rotazione, che può essere configurato a 1200RPM, 900RPM o 750RPM.
La NF-P14 FLX sarà commercializzata a metà Novembre, accompagnata da un MSRP pari a €21.9.

Vienna, October 28th 2009 - Expanding its line-up of premium quality
quiet fans, Noctua today introduced its first 140mm model. Following in
the footsteps of the successful NF-P12, the new NF-P14 FLX employs a
nine blade impeller with Vortex-Control Notches in order to achieve
superb quietness and outstanding aerodynamic efficiency. Other features
include metal reinforcements for ultimate manufacturing precision as
well as Noctua's premium grade SSO-Bearing and SCD2 technology.
"As more and more cases and coolers support 140mm fans, we've been
receiving an increased amount of customer requests for a premium grade
quiet fan in this size", explains Mag. Roland Mossig, Noctua CEO. "After
more than 18 months of development and optimisation, we're proud to
respond to this demand with the new NF-P14 FLX. Supporting both 120mm
and 140mm mounting, the NF-P14 FLX will not only satisfy those looking
for a reference class 140mm fan but also forms an ideal upgrade for
120mm case and CPU fans."
Due to its round frame with the same hole-spacing as common 120mm fans
and producing more airflow due to its larger diameter, the NF-P14 FLX is
ideal for upgrading 120mm CPU or case fans. At the same time, the NF-P14
FLX also fits common 140mm mounting holes using the supplied adaptors.
Thanks to its psycho-acoustically optimised nine blade impeller with
staggered Vortex-Control Notches, the NF-P14 FLX combines superb
quietness with exceptional airflow and static pressure. Like the FLX
version of the NF-S12B, the NF-P14 FLX includes both a Low-Noise and
Ultra-Low-Noise Adapter that provide 1200, 900 and 750rpm speed settings
in order to fine tune the fan for superior airflow or maximum quietness.
In order to guarantee the highest possible degree of manufacturing
precision, the NF-P14 employs high precision CNC milled brass parts to
reinforce the motor hub as well as a bearing shell made entirely from
brass. The latest version of Noctua's advanced SCD drive system ensures
superb running smoothness by eliminating torque variations and switching
noises. Like all Noctua fans, the NF-P14 comes with Noctua's premium
grade SSO-Bearing that has become synonymous with supremely quiet
operation and an exceptional long-term stability that's backed up by a 6
years manufacturer's warranty.
Price and availability:
The NF-P14 FLX will be available in stores by mid-November at a
recommended retail price of EUR 21.90 / USD 24.90.
