For once, I don’t have a picture gallery for today’s Sunday, but I do have a terrific pearl from the daily routine of a supplier of various cooling products, which also include fans. And no, if you think that the “poo-like” colorizing on the picture stands for a new model series from Noctua, I have to disappoint you. Because it’s not the new 140 mm low-cost series NDH 0815 with 120 hole pitch, but something completely different. The story behind it is representative for my picture of the day with the two propellers in the folkloristic Austria look.
I won’t mention any names now (as usual), but I will tell you how the story unfolded. Company X orders a new, universal case fan in the normal price segment from cooler manufacturer Y. RGB-free, of course, because what’s not on it can’t come off and break. The first samples, which the Chinese fan professional sent very quickly, were a disaster in terms of cooling, but at least they were loud. So about like a lame Kreidler moped without a muffler, but with no smell.
Company X is disappointed and shocked at first, but then orders the following from the manufacturer (I’ll quote it freely): “Please be sure to use Noctua fans as a guide for the specifications and performance values of the new fans”. So, theoretically and also practically, this is clear as a wish and a mission. Then it took a full two weeks before there was any news at all that everything had been resolved to the best satisfaction for the time being. Well, and then came the first samples…
They were the same junk fans as the first time, but optically perfect in Noctua racing trim. However, the actual argumentation left company X quite stunned. After two weeks of intensive material research, the fans would at least look like the desired Noctua fans in terms of color, but unfortunately it would not be technically possible in a hurry and for the agreed budget. Ok, delivered as not ordered and in this color scheme anyway not legally compliant by the company X to sell on the market. But I would like to bet that the manufacturer refinances the “research” gallantly, by the parts then simply reappear at Aliexpress as Notua…
