Product Description
Featuring advanced aerodynamic design measures such as Flow Acceleration Channels and an AAO standard frame, the NF-A4x10 5V is a dedicated 5V version of Noctua’s highly optimised, premium quality quiet 40x10mm fan. Smooth Commutation Drive technology and Noctua’s reference class SSO2 bearing ensure superb running smoothness and excellent long-term stability. Topped off with modular cabling and the OmniJoin Adaptor Set, the NF-A4x10 5V is a premium choice for demanding 5V applications.
5V version
Many devices such as network or storage solutions use 5 volt 40mm fans. With the same operating voltage and the included OmniJoin adaptor set that makes it compatible with proprietary fan headers, the NF-A4x10 5V is ideal for replacing noisy or broken 5V 40mm fans.
Please Note: Being a 5V fan, the NF-A4x10 5V cannot be run at 12V and will be damaged when used with typical 12V power sources such as PC motherboard fan headers.

---|---|---|---|
Flow Acceleration ChannelsThe NF-A4x10 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. |
SSO2 BearingThe NF-A4x10 features the further optimised 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 stabilisation, precision and durability. |
Reduced motor hub sizeThanks to its streamlined, compact motor design, the NF-A4x10's motor hub is smaller than with conventional 4cm fans. This allows for more blade surface area and thus contributes to the NF-A4x10's superior airflow and pressure performance. |
Inner Surface MicrostructuresWith the tips of the fan blades ploughing 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. |
Please Note:
Being a 5V fan, the NF-A4x10 5V cannot be run at 12V and will be damaged when used with typical 12V power sources such as PC motherboard fan headers.

One of the standout features is how quiet it is. I had a previous fan that came with my device, but it turned into a noisy nightmare resembling a fork in a blender on just the third day of ownership. It's such a relief to find a replacement that performs exceptionally well and remains whisper-quiet even during extended use.
Moreover, the anticipation for my A/V card for my BVM has been a long journey since my pre-order back in May of 2022. However, this product has made my wait more bearable by ensuring optimal performance and cooling for my MisterFPGA system.
Overall, I couldn't be happier with this purchase and the top-notch experience provided by the company. They've truly delivered on their promises, and I highly recommend this product to anyone in need of a reliable and silent cooling solution for their MisterFPGA or similar devices. Kudos to the company for creating such an excellent product and offering superb customer service!
This fan is extremely quiet to the point where I forget that it's running on my desk two feet away from me; quiet audio or nearby PC fans easily drown it out. Little things like the rubber pads on the corners and a decent type of bearing definitely help keep things quiet as well. It also comes with some vibration-dampening silicon mounting hardware, but my case is too thick to use them properly. In fact, I'm using screws that are too narrow to avoid drilling my case to fit the proper screws, and I haven't had any vibration issues yet.
While it's much more quiet than the fan I replaced, it does move a bit less air. I don't have actual air movement specs for the old fan, but it spun over 5000 RPM, so it makes sense that it would move more air. Once plugged in, the old fan was able to propel itself across my desk until it's wires were taut or it fell over.
The A-Series isn't quite the show-off in that regard, but it still cools off my Pi very nicely. My idle temp with the old fan was 38-41 degrees, and now it's 40-43. Mind you, my system is overclocked to 1.4ghz, and idle temps would hit 60 degrees without a fan. Everything is still nice and cool, so I'll gladly take the silence in exchange for running slightly warmer.
This fan comes with a lot of great extra hardware and adapters. That said, I wish it came with an adapter for the Raspberry Pi, considering how many other people seem to be using this fan for this application. Like other reviewers, I needed to make a minor modification; I had to carefully cut away some of the tape, unpin the connector, snip the yellow cable, re-tape the wires, and re-pin the connector to match the GPIO pins on the Pi. It only took about five minutes and required some basic tools, but it certainly voids any warranty or chance for a return/exchange. If I could get nit-picky, it also doesn't have the most flexible wiring unless you strip all of the wrapping, but it's still quite workable.
