When you’re shopping for an affordable, low-profile, and quiet CPU cooler, Noctua is probably one of the first names that comes to mind. It certainly was for me when I was building my first gaming PC last year, and the ITX CPU fan the brand sent me has been keeping my 13th Gen i5 processor cool ever since.
If you had told me back then that, a year later, Noctua would be launching a series of homeware and multipurpose fans that aren’t for PC builders, I probably wouldn’t have believed you. It sounds like a silly April Fools idea that’s been taken a bit too far.
Then again, if Noctua’s brilliant little fans can keep thebest CPUs for gamingcool, then why wouldn’t they be the perfect desk companion? Quiet? Check. Powerful? Check. Modular designs and pivoting mounts? Ok, I’ll bite.
All the while, I can’t help but think this new product range has the same inherent charm that the brand’s CPU coolers have. As Noctua’s CEO, Roland Mossig says, it’s not the first time the brand’s fans have been used for novel purposes outside of thegaming PCrealm.
“Our industrial clients as well as tech-savvy DIYers have already been using our fans for applications beyond the PC cooling space for many years, so the new HOME line marks the next step in leveraging our technologies for a wider scope of cooling demands and making them more accessible for a broader audience.”
There’s no accounting for taste, (despite my joking, I’ve always liked the clean and simple look of Noctua’s fans) but the practical modular designs of this home range does let you change the face of each cooler as you see fit.

The launch range of this new Home line gives you the choice between two fan sets and nine modular accessories. The NV-FM1 has a pivoting mount and lines up perfectly for a desk or bookshelf. The NV-AA1-12 airflow amplifier looks like something out of Dyson’s labs, and it “significantly enhances” the fan’s performance. There are also fan controllers and hubs so you can set up a proper network of cooling devices, and a power supply that comes with both sets and sports adapters for different wall sockets.
Those top-mounted fans on the Hi-Fi system fix on top of DVRs, game consoles, routers, and any other technology that has airflow vents thanks to clever multi-purpose gaskets. Just be wary of airflow when you think about adding one of these and make sure you’re mounting fans in the right direction for the device. Putting an intake fan on top of a device’s extractor vents could actually leave you with more problems.
The full list of the product range is as follows:
Noctua’s new home range is available in the UK, EU, and US.
