Reliable protection & excellent acoustics for 12cm fans
With 5mm offset for better performance and low-noise operation
Includes 2 fan grills, 8 fan screws and 8 tool-free push-pin mounts
Thanks to their densely spaced, sturdy steel ribs, Noctua’s NA-FG1 series fan grills offer excellent protection and reliably prevent you from accidentally touching the running fan or cables from being pushed into the impeller.
While flat fan grills or fan guards with sharp edges can create unpleasant, high-pitched turbulence noises and often also reduce airflow significantly, Noctua’s NA-FG1 units use an offset design with rounded struts in order to ensure that the impact on fan acoustics and performance is as low as possible.
With their sturdy steel construction, elegant matte-black finish and Noctua logo at the centre, the NA-FG1 series fan guards are visual testament to Noctua’s renowned premium quality and a great compliment to its iconic fans.
The NA-FG1 sets include a proprietary push-pin mounting system that makes installing the grills a breeze: Push the rubber plugs into the fan’s mounting holes, put on the grill and fix it by pushing in the plastic pins. No screwdriver or other tools required!
The supplied push-pins make it possible to install the grills 5mm offset from the fan. This extra spacing helps to further improve acoustics and airflow by reducing influx turbulence. In practice, this means that fans can run noticeably quieter and more efficient when the grills are fixed using the push-pins instead of screws. In case there isn’t enough space for the 5mm offset, the push-pins can be shortened using a cutter knife or scissors.
In addition to the tool-free push-pin mounts, Noctua NA-FG1 grills also include regular fan screws. Thanks to a high-quality black coating, the screws nicely complement the matte black finish of the grills and can either be used for applications that require extra-strong attachment, or for installing the fans themselves.
The NA-FG1-12 are available in sets of 2 (NA-FG1-12 Sx2) and 5 (NA-FG1-12 Sx5). In addition to the fan grills, the kits include standard fan screws as well as Noctua’s unique, offset push-pin mounts for tool-free, acoustically optimised installation (one set of screws and one set of push-pins for each fan grill).
