Out with the old in with the new. I designed this Fan holder to fit a Noctua NF-A6x25. It's slightly bigger than the original but that's no problem at all and guess what ..... it works. The bigger noctua fan blows A LOT more air over the object. And with the integrated vibration pads the noise reduction is tremendous. Instructions Printing difficulty **...
