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.
