I did live chat Amazon, and they did offer to deal with it for me and refund me as stock levels vary so much with Noctua but it's disappointing Noctua CS wasn't a bit more helpful.īut that wouldn't stop me recommending Noctua or the Redux line of fans to anyone. I contacted Noctua for advice and sadly their response was "Talk to Amazon" even though Amazon usually only deal with returns in the first 30-days. Seemed unlikely as Noctua specifically focus on that in their marketing material, however there it was. The reason I gave this 4-stars rather than 5 was because recently (two months in) it has developed a rattling noise which seems to be coming from the motor of the fan. That's not a problem with the fan though, as Noctua offer the 140mm version that pushes mad air through filters or the NF-F12 in brown. For example I bought this one as a case fan when I had a case with no air filter, and when I moved over to my current filtered case the static pressure was not high enough to actually push much air at all. I'm impressed with the entire range of fans as I own the 92, 120 and 140 versions of the fans, but its worth noting that the different fans have different uses. The packaging is sleek and well made and all you get inside is the fan itself and four silver screws for it. Like all Noctua fans, the redux edition models feature an MTBF rating of more than 150.000 hours and come with a full 6 years manufacturer’s warranty.Noctua's Redux line of fans was specifically made to cut down costs passed to the customer and this is very apparent when you open the box. Noctua fans are renowned for their impeccable quality and outstanding longevity. Users can choose from Noctua’s wide range of optional accessories such as anti-vibration mounts, Low-Noise-Adaptors, y-cables, 3:4 pin adaptors or extension cables to upgrade redux edition fans according to their individual needs. By providing smoother torque impulses, SCD suppresses PWM switching noises and thus makes the fan quieter at lower speeds.Ĭombining the proven concept of hydrodynamic bearings with an additional magnet that supports the self-stabilisation of the rotor axis, Noctua’s time-tested SSO-Bearing technology has become synonymous with supremely quiet operation and exceptional long-term stability. Supporting fully automatic speed control via PWM, the fan uses Noctua’s custom designed NE-FD1 PWM IC that integrates Smooth Commutation Drive (SCD) technology. Reducing critical rotor stator interaction, Bevelled Blade Tips permit to combine extended leading edges and a higher blade surface area with quieter operation and thus form a cornerstone of the fan’s outstanding efficiency. The NF-S12B has been specifically designed for high airflow efficiency and low noise in order to provide best results in these so called low impedance applications. Typical PC case ventilation applications require high airflow but only medium static pressure. All redux edition products are industry proven, time-tested models that helped to found Noctua’s reputation as a first-tier supplier of premium grade low noise cooling equipment. The redux product line reissues some of Noctua’s most popular, award-winning models by presenting them in streamlined, accessibly priced packages.

Tens of thousands of quiet cooling enthusiasts around the globe swear by Noctua’s classic NF-S12B. The 1200rpm PWM version features Noctua’s proprietary NE-FD1 for automatic speed control, which allows to strike a perfect balance between high cooling capacity and low noise operation in each given situation. Its industry grade SSO bearing, over 150.000 hours MTBF rating and full 6 years manufacturer’s warranty make the NF-S12B redux a proven premium choice that provides trusted Noctua quality at an attractive price point. The new redux edition reissues this award-winning model in a streamlined, accessibly priced package that has been reduced to the essential core: the NF-S12B premium fan.
