Something a bit different from the usual hardware we cover, but if you think cooling yourself is worth it, this is a handy device. It\u2019s designed to sit on a desk and can be tilted to adjust airflow direction. To strengthen the airflow, there\u2019s a deflector behind the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.hwcooling.net\/en\/noctua-nf-a12x25-pwm-the-most-fine-tuned-fan-of-its-kind\/\">fan (NF-A12x25 PWM<\/a> chromax.black, by the way) that helps focus the air stream towards the user.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.hwcooling.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/noctua-nv-fs1-giveaway-02-scaled.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-large wp-image-256675\" src=\"https:\/\/www.hwcooling.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/noctua-nv-fs1-giveaway-02-1024x683.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"640\" height=\"427\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.hwcooling.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/noctua-nv-fs1-giveaway-02-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.hwcooling.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/noctua-nv-fs1-giveaway-02-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.hwcooling.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/noctua-nv-fs1-giveaway-02-253x168.jpg 253w, https:\/\/www.hwcooling.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/noctua-nv-fs1-giveaway-02-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.hwcooling.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/noctua-nv-fs1-giveaway-02-1536x1024.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/www.hwcooling.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/noctua-nv-fs1-giveaway-02-2048x1365.jpg 2048w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>That\u2019s the basic overview of the <a href=\"https:\/\/noctua.at\/en\/nv-fs1\">Noctua NV-FS1<\/a> desk fan. It\u2019s also worth noting that airflow\u2014and therefore cooling intensity\u2014can be adjusted using the <a href=\"https:\/\/noctua.at\/en\/na-fc1\">NA-FC1 controller<\/a> with PWM support. You might recognize that controller from accessory kits for desktop components we often cover. So this is what you can win\u2014a complete package including the fan, the deflector, a stand, the controller, and a power adapter\u2014everything you need for full functionality.<\/p>\n<h2>&#8230; and how to enter<\/h2>\n<p>To enter, simply send an answer to the question: What anniversary will the Noctua brand celebrate this year? Just one number is enough\u2014you don\u2019t have to be exact. Of course, if you know the details, feel free to mention the first appearance of the brand as well. But to get into the final draw for the <a href=\"https:\/\/noctua.at\/en\/nv-fs1\">Noctua NV-FS1<\/a> desk fan, that anniversary number is exactly what matters.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.hwcooling.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/noctua-nv-fs1-giveaway-03-scaled.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-large wp-image-256676\" src=\"https:\/\/www.hwcooling.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/noctua-nv-fs1-giveaway-03-1024x683.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"640\" height=\"427\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.hwcooling.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/noctua-nv-fs1-giveaway-03-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.hwcooling.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/noctua-nv-fs1-giveaway-03-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.hwcooling.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/noctua-nv-fs1-giveaway-03-253x168.jpg 253w, https:\/\/www.hwcooling.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/noctua-nv-fs1-giveaway-03-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.hwcooling.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/noctua-nv-fs1-giveaway-03-1536x1024.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/www.hwcooling.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/noctua-nv-fs1-giveaway-03-2048x1365.jpg 2048w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>Send your answers to <strong><a href=\"mailto:info@hwcooling.net\">info@hwcooling.net<\/a><\/strong> with the subject line \u201c<strong>Noctua Giveaway (Summer 2025)<\/strong>\u201d.
