Quote:


...The Active Noise Cancellation (ANC) prototypes exhibited at Computex demonstrated the progress Noctua has made in its ANC project with RotoSub®. While the 120mm ANC fan for watercooling radiators is still at an earlier stage, development on the 140mm CPU cooler project is almost completed. Based on the award-winning NH-D14, the upcoming R-ANC cooler promises to deliver substantial performance improvements over Noctua's current flagship model. Noctua is now working to implement the RotoSub® ANC system in mass production and aims for a release in Q2/Q3 2014...Smile

Not very impressive considering the thing sounds like (and is about as big) as a fucking vacuum cleaner to begin with!

I can never be free, because the shackles I wear can't be touched or be seen.

I use the D14 2011 version myself (The older model, not this new upcoming revision of it.) and I can barely hear it even though I run it at 80% most of the time to improve cooling performance. Smile
(The little fan on the motherboard however can be heard quite easily even at 50% power.)

Well they did say they want to ad this tech to all their fans so that would be great, small high speed fans would need this tech more.

Isn't some of their products already using this technology?

I saw a review of some of them on Guru3D a while back so I'd assume so, with the other models to follow later on. Smile

EDIT:
http://www.guru3d.com/articles_pages/noctua_nh_u12s_u14s_review,1.html
(And the standard chassi fans. - http://www.guru3d.com/news_story/noctua_outs_nf_s12a_120mm_fan.html )


EDIT: Strange, this article was published four hours ago.
http://hexus.net/tech/news/cooling/56849-noctua-demo-cpu-cooler-active-noise-cancellation/

But I thought the tech was announced since some months back?
(Or earlier since there's some articles about this from mid-2012 though none of the products were released back then.)

The link I posted was to the manufacturers site and they wrote that the tech will be available for consumers in Q2/Q3 2014.

A little bit off-topic but Noctua has unveiled their NH D15 CPU cooler. Smile
(Aside from it's size and in part it's weight I really liked the D14, of course if these things start becoming even bigger then going for a water cooled solution might be worth considering.)

I haven't been impressed with Noctua to be completely honest. I bought their NH-u12p a couple years back and it was abysmal - lousy CPU cooling and the unit had to be RMAd twice. On the third replacement with the same >50c idle "cooling" (on a 3.6Ghz E7200 for fuck's sake!) I just gave up and threw the thing in a draw. It wasn't cheap either, so that was their one chance to impress me and they blew it - despite all the reviews and previews and user opinions saying it was the bestest thing in the whole wide world ever omgz0r Sad

This DH14-2011 is actually the first Noctua fan I'm using, previously it was usually Zalman but I decided to try Noctua just because I heard a lot of good things about them, had to lower the RPM fan warning in the bios since the fan ran at such a low RPM and still cooled it down very well, even stopped at times so now just because I keep it locked at 60% speed.
(Which is a bit audible but it cools the CPU really well and I'm not too fuzzy about noise.)

EDIT: Of course that also mean I do not really know how their other products perform and spending upwards of a 100 dollars or so on a fan is still a bit steep.
