Noctua NF-P12 redux-1700 PWM, High Performance Cooling Fan, 4-Pin, 1700 RPM (120mm, Grey)

Very Solid Built! Impressed by its performance!
Ordered this fan for my PC as an exhaust fan, because I got sick of my temps creeping up when gaming for extended periods of time. This fan is a beast in more ways then one, it moves a lot of air, but with the air movement it does get ramped up on noise. If you are looking for a more quite solution then this would probably not be the fan for you. in saying that you could use this fan at lower speeds and the noise is not as noticeable. I choose to run the fan at max speed when my PC hits a certain temp threshold. i have noticed a huge difference in overall temps and heat lag on my system. It has been solid as I use my PC daily for numerous hours and has not skipped a beat, no bearing noise, or anything. I highly recommend this fan for anyone, just be aware the faster it turns the louder it will get so set your fans speeds to your liking. It is also very solid built!

My personal favorite
It’s a Noctua fan at a competitive price. You get everything you can ask for. I’ve used these fans since they came out in dozens of computers.1. Reliable2. Silent3. High static pressure (replaced stock thermal right fans that came with my cooler)4. High AirflowYou can get higher performance fans from Noctua and other brands, but not for this price. Arctic fans sacrifice sound levels, and Noctua A-14 cost triple the money. If you want the most performance, go with Noctua Industrial 3000 rpm fans. Their performance far exceeds anything I’ve seen, but your system will sound like a jet engine.Overall, these fans are perfect for 90% of consumers.

Great Radiator Fans But Scammy Business Model
These actually look almost attractive with the optional rubber corners installed. Even with the added cost of the corners, these fans represent a great price-performance point for that they are.I have four of these mounted to a 30mm thick 480 radiator. They move a huge amount of air through my radiator. At full speed, they are a little loud, but at 50% or 60% speed, they are literally whisper quiet and still move enough air through my radiator to sink 600+ watts while keeping my coolant barely above 30c. These are massive overkill for my application. On the other hand, who doesn’t like massive overkill?It irks me a little that I have to buy $15 worth of little rubber bits on top of $60 for the fans. But, this annoyance is mostly offset by the fact the fans are not butt ugly like most of the other Noctua fans. I am good with the cost reduction and the absence of the usually included accessories (rubber screw mounts, low noise adapter, y cable, and extension cable). However, the fans look kind of bad without the corners These corners are more essential than the usual accessories. It just feels a little scammy.Noctua, if you want to take this good product and make it exceptional, my suggestion is include four black corners with each fan. If your customer wants a different color or wants eight of them instead of four, she can still buy the corners. I think the cost reduction is great and I do have a big pile of unneeded accessories from all of my previous Noctua purchases, but I don’t have any spare corners. You took it a little too far. Add a few black corners to this product You could even increase the price by a couple of bucks; that would be fine by me. But don’t leave me feeling scammed. If you keep doing this, it will ruin my brand loyalty.

Instale 4 de estos en mi gabinete, 3 en el frontal y uno atras, son excelentes para mover aire sin mucho ruido, tenerlos a 600-800rpm son practicamente inaudibles, subirlos a 1400-1700 ya generan ruido considerable segun la persona pero no le veo el sentido a poner tanto en un gabinete.ProsLos probe en un disipador de torre y funciona muy bien, en radiadores deben de ir muy bien por su presion estatica, y aunque no son los modelos de flujo de aire tambien aportan bastante con poco ruido.En gabiente son muy buenos a pesar de no ser el modelo de flujo de aire, tienen bastante flujo combinado con presion estatica para gabinetes largos y con disipador de torre o una gpu en vertical.Dependera cada quien lo que considere ruido o ruidoso pero en lo personal me gusta que no se escuche nada, los deje con una curva de 400-800rpm segun la temperatura del procesador por lo que ni siquiera se nota el mas minimo ruido sin sacrificar temperaturas.ContrasSi bien la linea redux es caracteristico su color gris puede resultar poco estetico con otras marcas ya queda a eleccion.No incluye las gomas antivibracion como lo hacen los cafe o los chromax, pero si es para gabiente no hacen falta porque la vibracion a bajas revoluciones (600-800) no hay diferencia, diria que solo note un poco de ruido a 1200rpm, eso si noctua vende las gomas por separado y aun asi sale mas economico que comprar los cafes o chromax.Algo que si me puedo quejar es que los cables son un tanto feos en el sentido que el sleaving es como un popote que se doble igual de feo y no son cables muy largos, por lo que si tienes una motherboard con la mayoria de puertos para ventiladores a la izquierda o en la parte de abajo debes tener cuidado que la distancia donde piensas instalarlos no sea muy larga o pensar en comprar un HUB de ventiladores solo para mayor distancia o manejo de cables.RecomendacionSi piensas usarlos para disipadores o radiadores y no te molesta la estetica son excelentes opciones por precio y calidad.Como ventiladores de gabiente preferiria los NF S12A que tienen un mayor flujo de aire y menor ruido que cuestan lo mismo, aunque tampoco veo mala opcion estos. Solo tener en cuenta el largo de los cables si no cuentas con un HUB de ventiladores y tienes un gabinete grande o una mother con los detalles mencionados.Las gomas antivibracion son recomendables si trabajaran a altas revoluciones o si se usaran en un disipador o radiador.

I bought five of these Noctua fans, and I’m honestly totally impressed. The most amazing thing about them is the sound—or really, the lack of it. Even under heavy load, I can barely hear them.I’m running an RTX 5080 GPU along with an AMD Ryzen 9 9950X3D, and these fans keep everything super cool. My GPU and CPU have never gone above 65 °C, even under intense workloads. The system stays stable, cool, and quiet.These might just be one of the best investments I’ve made for my PC. If you care about performance and silence, these Noctua fans are absolutely worth the money. Highly, highly recommended.

Selbst unter Volllast bleibt mein System kühl, und das bei konstant niedrigen Temperaturen. Der PWM-Anschluss ermöglicht eine präzise Steuerung über das Mainboard, wodurch der Lüfter immer nur so schnell läuft, wie es nötig ist – ideal für einen leisen Betrieb.Lautstärke:Apropos leise: Der Lüfter ist kaum hörbar, selbst wenn er hochdreht. Für jemanden wie mich, der einen nahezu lautlosen PC schätzt, ist das ein riesiger Pluspunkt.Montage:Die Installation war kinderleicht. Dank der durchdachten Bauweise passte der Lüfter perfekt in mein Gehäuse, und die beigelegten Schrauben sorgten für eine sichere Befestigung.Fazit:Der Noctua NF-P12 redux-1700 PWM ist jeden Cent wert.
