Ventoinha axial Noctua NF-A4x10 FLX 40 mm, 12 V, 4500 rpm, 8,2 m³/h, 10 mm de altura

The Noctua NF-A4x10 FLX is a premium 40 x 10 mm cooling fan engineered for compact spaces where efficient airflow and low noise are required. It combines Noctua’s aerodynamic innovations such as Flow Acceleration Channels, the AAO (Advanced Acoustic Optimisation) frame and a compact motor hub with SSO2 bearings to deliver stable, long-lasting operation. The FLX variant includes a Low-Noise Adaptor and OmniJoin Adaptor Set, multiple cabling options and a 6-year manufacturer’s warranty.

Advantages

The fan’s Flow Acceleration Channels and inner surface microstructures reduce suction-side flow separation and lower vortex and blade-passing noise while improving efficiency. Its reduced motor hub size increases blade surface area for better airflow and pressure. The AAO frame integrates anti-vibration pads, a Stepped Inlet Design and inner-surface treatments to further enhance acoustic performance. SSO2 Smooth Commutation Drive and optimized SSO2 bearings ensure very smooth running, improved stabilisation and long-term durability. Included accessories such as the Low-Noise Adaptor, OmniJoin set and extension cable provide installation flexibility.

Suitable for

• Small form-factor PC cases and compact HTPC enclosures
• GPU, network or storage device cooling that requires 40 mm fans
• Applications with tight space constraints or restricted airflow channels

Key specifications

• Bearing: SSO2 (second-generation smooth commutation drive)
• Connectors and cabling: 20 cm sleeved primary cable, 30 cm sleeved extension, 3-to-2-pin adaptor, OmniJoin Adaptor Set with Scotchlok™ connectors
• Anti-vibration pads integrated in frame
• Warranty: 6 years manufacturer’s warranty; MTBF >150,000 hours

How to use

Mount the NF-A4x10 FLX in the available 40 mm fan slot using standard screws or compatible clips; the integrated anti-vibration pads maintain compatibility with standard mounting systems. Choose the required connector type: use the 3-pin plug for conventional headers, the supplied 3-to-2-pin adaptor for devices with 2-pin connectors, or create a proprietary connection using the OmniJoin Adaptor Set and supplied 3M Scotchlok™ connectors. Use the 30 cm extension cable if additional reach is necessary. Fit the Low-Noise Adaptor to reduce maximum speed for quieter operation where appropriate.

Recommendations

For optimal performance in restricted spaces, position the fan to maintain straight, unobstructed intake/exhaust paths and use the L.N.A. when lower acoustics are preferred over maximum airflow. Verify polarity when using 2-pin connections; the integrated diode provides protection but correct wiring ensures reliable operation.
