Detailed Description
The NA-FC1 is a
compact, highly flexible controller for 4-pin PWM fans that can both
work on its own for manual speed reduction and also work in tandem with
the automatic motherboard fan control. By adjusting the NA-FC1�s speed
control dial, users can either manually set a PWM duty cycle from 0 to
100% or reduce the PWM duty cycle supplied by PC motherboards in order
to have the fans running slower than the automatic motherboard fan
control would allow. While the brightness of the orange status LED
provides visual feedback on the current dial setting, the push button
allows the NA-FC1 to be switched into �no stop� mode, which prevents the
fan from falling below a speed of 300rpm. Thanks to the supplied 3-way
split cable and power supply adaptor, up to 3 fans can be controlled
simultaneously.
WM based control
While most fan controllers are voltage based,
the NA-FC1 uses the more sophisticated Pulse
Width Modulation (PWM) technique that allows for
more efficient control and lower minimum speeds,
regardless of the fan�s starting voltage.
Manual control mode
If the NA-FC1 doesn�t receive an input PWM
signal from the motherboard, it works as a
simple and efficient manual controller that
allows the duty cycle to be set from 0 to 100%.
This makes it ideal for manually slowing down
high-speed PWM fans such as Noctua�s industrialPPC series
in order to achieve consistently quiet
operation.
Customising motherboard fan control
Many motherboards provide insufficient options
to customise automatic fan control or simply
don�t go below certain duty cycles and speed
levels. Using the NA-FC1, you can lower the
motherboard�s PWM control curve in order to
achieve truly silent operation, even with
high-speed PWM fans such as Noctua�s industrialPPC series.
�No stop� mode
If the small push button is pressed and the
green status LED is on, the NA-FC1 operates in
�no stop� mode, which means that it will not
allow the fan to fall below 300rpm, regardless
of the speed setting and the input PWM duty
cycle from the motherboard, thus avoiding BIOS
fan errors.*
3-way splitter cable
The supplied 3-way splitter cable allows the
connection of up to three 4-pin PWM fans in
order to control them simultaneously. Even more
fans can be controlled at once when using
additional NA-YC1 splitter cables that are
supplied with many Noctua fans and available as
an optional accessory kit (NA-SYC1).
Power supply adaptor
As powering multiple higher wattage fans from a
single motherboard fan header may damage the
motherboard, the NA-FC1 includes an NA-AC4
adaptor that powers the device directly from the
power supply unit while simultaneously receiving
PWM input from the motherboard and forwarding
RPM information. This makes it ideal for
controlling multiple high-speed fans such as
Noctua�s 3000rpm industrialPPC models.
6-year manufacturer�s warranty
Noctua products are renowned for their
impeccable quality and outstanding longevity.
Like all of them, the NA-FC1 fan controller is
built to last and comes with a full 6-year
manufacturer's warranty.
*Please note that many PWM fans have a minimum speed higher
than 300rpm and as the function of �no stop� mode is to not
let fans go below 300rpm, it is only useful for fans which
are generally able to go below this speed. For example, a
fan with 500rpm minimum speed will act the same with �no
stop� mode on and off.
