What is the NA-FG1 and how can I use it?

The NA-FG1 is a fan grill to protect the fan and its surroundings from damage via a metal grill. Noctua’s NA-FG1 are premium grade fan grills for the highest demands in acoustic optimisation and ease of installation. Thanks to an offset design with round struts, the guards offer excellent protection with minimal impact on the fan’s acoustics and flow rate.

How do I install the NA-FG1?

You can find detailed installation instructions in the manual.

Can I install the NA-FG1 on my Noctua CPU cooler? 

Yes, the NA-FG1 is compatible with all our CPU coolers except the NH-D12L, NH-D12L chromax.black and NH-L12 Ghost S1 Edition, due to insufficient distance between fan and heatsink.

Can I use the NA-FG1 on AIO watercooling radiators? 

Yes, the NA-FG1 is compatible with watercooling radiators. You will need longer screws as well as plastic spacers to avoid damaging your cooler. Depending on the radiator/fan combination, M3x30 to M3x35 screws in combination with 3mm spacers between the fan grill and the fan tend to work well.
