Can I use Noctua low-noise adapter on other fans?

Which fans can the Low-Noise Adaptors be used with? The adaptors are designed for use with Noctua 4-pin fans (except industrialPPC series). While they may work with many other fans, use with third party fans is not officially supported by Noctua, is at the customer’s own risk and will void the warranty.

What does the low-noise adapter do?

A “low-noise adapter” simply reduces the voltage to the fan on Pin #2 of the connector, thus reducing the fan speed and noise AND the cooling air flow. BUT the automatic fan control system, IF you let it run, will do the same job but BETTER.

Can you daisy chain Noctua fans?

The NA-SYC1 is a fan accessory set consisting of two fully sleeved NA-YC1 Y-Cables for 4-pin PWM fans. Multiple NA-YC1 can be daisy-chained to control more than two PWM fans via one header. Common mainboard fan headers support up to 9.6 or 12W (check your mainboard manual for detailed information).

Why do fan splitters have a missing pin?

Answer: The missing pin is what the motherboard uses to read the fan’s speed. As it can only read one, only one header has that pin.

How do I control multiple Noctua fans?

The supplied 3-way splitter cable allows the connection of up to three 4-pin PWM fans in order to control them simultaneously. Even more fans can be controlled at once when using additional NA-YC1 splitter cables that are supplied with many Noctua fans and available as an optional accessory kit (NA-SYC1).

Can you connect a fan splitter to another splitter?

If you are referring to a two-way splitter plugged into another two-way splitter, then yes, it is possible. It just depends on the wattage of your headers and your fans.

Alternatively, the NF-F12 is a pressure-optimised fan that excels on heatsinks and radiators and the NF-S12A is an airflow-optimised fan that provides excellent results as a case fan and in other low- to mid-impedance applications.

Is a 3 fan splitter safe?

You will be safe using a fan splitter as long as you the fans you are connecting does not draw more current than the motherboard header provides.

Is the Noctua industrial fan ultra low noise?

For noise level, the 3 intake fans arent that noisy although you may need to get used to the sound of air gushing inwards. As for the one on the heatsink, it will get pretty loud as the temp is high roughly 50c as I set it to spin at 2500rpm at 50c and it will only go louder as the Temps rise.

Why do I need a Noctua src7 fan adaptor?

Connected between the fan and the power source, the adaptors reduce the running speed and noise emission of the fans. The NA-SRC7 is ideal for slowing down Noctua’s redux edition fans (see speed tables ).

Can you use a Noctua 12V fan with a third party fan?

Compatible with all Noctua 12V fans, except industrialPPC series.
