Hi Guys
Its not often that I set up products that I know have potential to be huge, but this thing could be gentle typhoon level greatness...
Following on from THIS THREAD you can see that the new REDUX range is designed to offer Noctua quality without any of the unnecessary accessories and stuff that bumps the price up.
Bonus of all this is that the Redux fans are grey which means they dont look horrendous in a system designed with aesthetics in mind.
For years, 140mm radiators have been fairly unpopular due to a lack of good Static Pressure orientated 140mm fans.
Whilst none of these fans come close to the 1850 GT's immense static pressure of 2.9 mmH2O, the performance on offer is certainly eye catching, especially for the enthusiast who would opt for a 140mm standard radiator anyway.
I have been harping on to fan manufacturers for as long as I can remember about the need for a 2 mmH2O+ 140mm fan and out of the blue comes these babies from Noctua.
The blade design of the fans looks to be effective as a radiator fan but the specifications of the fans at the various available speeds are what really stand out.
Decent noise outputs.
Good Static Pressure.
Here is an overview of what they have available that really stands out:
Noctua NF-P14s REDUX 900RPM 140mm Quiet Case Fan @ £13.49 inc VAT
900RPM Model matches the CFM figure on a Scythe Gentle Typhoon 120mm 1450 whilst producing a much lower noise output.
Static pressure on this ultra low speed model isn't massive but performance will be good on low FPI radiators.
This is really for 140mm Radiator users looking for ultimate silence. This would perform perfectly with any 140mm Hardware Labs Black Ice SR-1 Radiator.
Specifications:
- Rotational Speed (± 10%): 900 RPM
- Airflow: 49.2 CFM
- Acoustical Noise: 13.2 dB(A)
- Static Pressure: 0.77 mm H2O
Noctua NF-P14s REDUX 1200RPM 140mm Quiet Case Fan @ £13.49 inc VAT
The 1200 RPM Model is a little louder but perhaps may be the best option for users looking to tune their noise output themselves and find their own balance of noise/performance.
This model has a high CFM and decent static pressure for use again on low FPI radiators.
Specifications:
- Rotational Speed (± 10%): 1200 RPM
- Airflow: 64.9 CFM
- Acoustical Noise: 19.6 dB(A)
- Static Pressure: 1.29 mm H2O
Noctua NF-P14s REDUX PWM 1500RPM 140mm Quiet Case Fan @ £13.49 inc VAT
This is the one that people will be looking at for performance. It is PWM so many may consider running it as 3pin and just using the max range of the fan for flat out cooling. This would work well on low FPI rads but would also yield great results on a denser radiator face such as the XSPC EX or AX range.
Specifications:
- Rotational Speed (± 10%): 1500 RPM
- Min. Rotational Speed (PWM, ±20%): 450 RPM
- Airflow: 78.6 CFM
- Acoustical Noise: 25.8 dB(A)
- Static Pressure: 1.91 mm H2O
Let me know what you guys think.

I shall be ordering some of these when I rebuild my loop!
