Noctua Announces New, More Efficient 120mm Fan

[Guest]

The NF-F12 has long been a top choice for water cooling, and the NF-S12A is a popular choice for case cooling. Noctua claimed the new fan strikes a balance between the two.

Does Noctua have an NF-P12 or an NR-F12 model fan? I see these models mentioned in the article but I am beginning to suspect these are typos for "NF-F12" which makes things very confusing.

The line graph is confusing regarding the static pressure plotted against air flow. Is it reversed?

Are they still brown?

Based on their candy-corn themed color palette in their graphs, I'm guessing their new fans are also ugly.

Noctua fans are the best, they can get away with their colour scheme. I don't think most fan companies use CFD and aerodynamicists to design fans to Noctua's level

Static pressure decreases when airflow rate increases. The graphs are correct.

At Computex 2013 Noctua showed the prototype 200mm A-series fan. At Computex 2014 they showed the 200mm A-series fan to be launched in October of 2014. It never launched. No comments from Noctua, nothing on their website. At Computex 2015 they are showing, in addition to this new 120mm A-series fans, they are yet again showing the 200mm. C'mon Noctua start selling it, or if it the tests show it's not good enough, say so and abandon it, rather than keeping your customers waiting for NoctuaGodot.

Half a millimeter may not seem like much, but you might be surprised how much difference that makes when the fans are relatively small like this as well.
