Review on Noctua Bearing NF B9 Redux 1600 PWM by Tim Toscano

Revainrating 4 out of 5

Good Simple Quiet Fan Hard Shell

Good quality fan. Not as much static pressure as the NF-9x14 (due to lower top speed and blade configuration), but it's quieter and pushes the same amount of air at the right RPM. No accessories, no rubber corners or anti-vibration mounts, just four metal screws. But you get everything that makes the fan itself great at a much lower price. The only thing I don't like about this fan is the cable grommet. I don't know why they use such a cheap hard braid for their fans (and accessories), but I'd rather not have one at all. Another thing to note is the length of the wires: it's more than enough to wrap everything around. Way around the fan and then some. Good for a full tower case but can be problematic in an SFF case.

Pros
  • Dream Come True
Cons
  • Neutral
