Noctua redux great fan: the whole truth about this product

For a long time I chose an excellent fan for the power supply, so that the pressure is good and the flow is not weak, but also quiet. Among a large number of fans, I turned my attention to Noctua products, yes, I will tell you the price for it is really overpriced compared to the rest, but I will say that there is something to pay for, impeccable quality, excellent equipment. To be honest, I have been using such a fan in the power supply for more than 5 years, and I have never had a problem…

Pros
  • Quality, equipment
Cons
  • Price

Reliable purchase, guaranteed to be a good purchase.

In general, this is an excellent fan for many years to come (a 5-year warranty, if I'm not mistaken). It is worth spending money once, then just transferring from old computers to new ones for the rest of your life) Pros below: absolutely silent, I was shocked by the absence of any vibrations (and this despite the fact that there are no rubber gaskets in the kit). The air flow is strong enough. Its cons: in the package only the fan itself and screws for installation, which for me personally is…

Valuable purchase, nothing but pluses!

Over the past 2-3 years, I have already changed both fans in the case. Native Zalmanovskys served for about 6 years and began to make noise. This fan made an impression of very high quality in all respects. I think if the manufacturer declares a resource of 150,000 hours and gives a 6-year warranty, it will work properly for a very long time. The fan is worth the money.

Pros
  • Good airflow, noiselessness, quality of materials, appearance, service life, 6-year warranty.
Cons
  • No.

Does exactly what it's supposed to and works well

This product lives up to the many reviews it has. It is well made, very quiet and available in a variety of models that vary in features and size. Static pressure and airflow to name a few. I recommend all fans from Noctua. The downside is that they are expensive. Buying a pair pretty much takes care of that $50 bill burning in your pocket. I would recommend them if you have a need, but I will also recommend some of these that will also get the job done but come in packs of 2, 3 and even 4…

Pros
  • Nice packaging
Cons
  • Appearance

Amazing quality. the best in computers and accessories

Finally, powerful Noctua fans at an affordable price. Airflow is noticeably better than my 1500rpm Thermaltake Riings, with quieter bearings and slightly less overall noise. To be honest, I was expecting more noise at 1700 rpm, so I was pleasantly surprised. Fantastic performance when using auto fan speed on my motherboard. You can look at the specs and see for yourself. Noctua doesn't have to lie about its fans; they speak for themselves. They have very similar performance to my 1600rpm Scythe

Pros
  • Inspires confidence
Cons
  • There are downsides

WHAT YOU SHOULD KNOW BEFORE BUYING

Before you buy this fan, there are a few things you need to know.1. This fan does not come with anti-rattle rubber pads2. You have to unscrew the threaded holes yourself with a special screw (sorry if that's not the right description). The fan itself is of high quality and excellent performance. but brings with it some frustrations which I have detailed below. When I received this fan I was excited to install it and replace my standard case fan. I take it out of the box and find that it has no…

Pros
  • Datura 🔥
Cons
  • Crumpled packaging

Quiet fan, cheap price

Noctua is known for good fans in two ugly colors. I needed a pair of fans, so I decided to try two NF-P12 Redux fans that were designed to run on air pressure. This is one 1700rpm fan, the other is noctua NF-P12 redux-1300 PWM high performance silent 120mm fan, ideal for PC case, CPU heatsink and water cooling heatsink, award winning premium Model in affordable gray reduction. Two shades of gray instead of brown and brown. Colors aren't the best, but better. They don't have rubber feet. In my…

Pros
  • Surprising
Cons
  • You could choose a newer model

Noctua have a good reputation and I'm happy to say they deserve it. All of that. For quality, performance and a noticeable lack of aesthetics. The fans including the blades are made of very high-quality plastic, so they last a very long time. Mean time to failure is also tested to a very high standard. In terms of performance, you shouldn't pay attention to RPM (revolutions per minute) here, but to CFM, which measures actual airflow. A fan with a higher speed may have less airflow depending on…

Pros
  • Lots of positive vibes
Cons
  • Speed

Linus uses them. Best in Computers & Accessories

I bought 2 of these fans to replace the standard Corsair fans that came with my H100i GTX waterblock. The standard Corsair fans worked quite adequately, but hummed annoyingly even when idling. I'm the type who gets easily annoyed by unwanted noise. I endured fan noise for 3 long years before finally deciding to get other fans. Mind you, it wasn't loud or particularly offensive, it was just noticeable enough to bother me a little. I did some research on fans, pressure, airflow and noise. I…

Pros
  • Stable Test Results
Cons
  • Not Bad

Noctua redux Divorce for money: my truthful feedback

By mistake, I became the owner of the nocta 12 cooler... These cool NF-P12 120 fans came with it. I can't say anything bad about the cooler itself, except for the unjustified price. And the fans suck, especially for such a price of 1500-2000 rubles apiece. At first they suited me, their main feature is very quiet. With the resistors that came with the kit, you can adjust the speed - 900/1000/1200 and 1300 without a resistor. At 900 rpm it is not audible at night, at 1300 they do not let you…

Pros
  • Not
Cons
  • Unjustified price, Marketing ploy to increase sales through quiet operation
