@@Unc0mpress3D @PatrickLima69 Hello, Due to their design, axial fans deliver the most airflow at the tips of their blades, so it is essential that this airflow reaches the heatsink for effective cooling. This applies not only to the NF-A14x25 r G2 PWM and NF-A12x25 PWM but to any fan. It is crucial to use a fan size that matches the GPU heatsink to avoid airflow loss. It is likely that the GPU heatsink is too small, causing airflow loss, and resulting in temperatures similar to those with the NF-A12x25 PWM installed. The difference might only be in appearance and noise level. However, this is just a prediction, and the actual outcome can only be determined by trying it out. I look forward to your review video. Best regards.
@@hq5035 I purchased them to try and you’re 100% correct. I think it would be possible to make something to focus airflow depending on the design of the card and where it exhausts
@@PatrickLima69 If there are ducts or louvers, it is possible to direct airflow to the heatsink without loss, even if the fan and heatsink sizes differ. However, this increases the thickness of the fan assembly, which may lead to issues with fitting the fan.
Nice... Can't wait for the square version
when is that coming out?
@@Mohagrus September from what I read
What day exactly does it come out September?
@@michaeldomdiaz I have no idea, I've just sent an email to their consumer support
@@michaeldomdiaz Response from Noctua support : "Our goal is still to have these out until the end of the month!" which is not very helpful
would this be able to mount to your de shroud kit for 120mm or is there an adapter for it
Hi,
Yes, the next video with GPU is coming soon. ;)
No need an adapter for that.
