Screw hole spacings and fan sizesĮlectrically, there is no problem doing this - the fourth pin on the fan cable is used purely for PWM control and is not needed in order for the fan to run. Note that the mounting hole measurements shown below are taken horizontally or vertically between the holes and not diagonally. If you know the distance between the fan mounting screw holes but don’t know what fan size to order, please see the following table. If you have any questions about which fan you should order, please don’t hesitate to get in touch. All our fans are 25mm thick unless otherwise stated.
#NOCTUA REDUX PC#
This isn’t really dictated by customer preference, but more by recent designs of PC cases.Īs for the thickness (depth) of the fan, generally 25mm (1 inch) is by far the most common depth, although smaller fans can have shallower depths such as 15mm or even 10mm. The sizes of all the fans on our website are shown as measured along any one of the fan’s four sides, NOT the distance between the fan’s screw holes! Our most popular fan size is 120mm, followed by 80mm. Noctuas are simply good all rounder, except for their ugliness.The size of fan you need will generally be determined by the size of the fan fitting position in your PC case. I've had fans that cooled better, but also a lot noisier, had fans like BeQuiet which are quieter, but don't have enough power when needed. After trying all the top brand fans, I am finally happy. Overall, I found the beige Noctuas to be the best. Installed in my case, the thermal performance is almost identical, Acoustically, Redux is noisier. Under 700 RPM the Redux also has a lot less air moving noise, it does click though. The A14 will change it's sound signature greatly if something is placed in front of it like an air filter or radiator, the P14 is not affected as much, also it's performance is not as good in restricted pull configurations.
There are a few things though where the P14 Redux is superior compared to A14. NF-P14 PWM, NF-S12 had a clicking noise at low speeds, less than some of the other fans I've tried, but I could still hear it, none of the beige fans had any audible clicking noise whatsoever. The Redux is also noisier and must be using a different circuitry to smooth out the signal cause all eight of them, NF-P14. The NF-P14 Redux was only $2 cheaper than the NF-A14 and it's missing a lot of things for those $2.
#NOCTUA REDUX FULL#
Here is an update, I've bought a full set of eight Redux for my case and a full set of beige Noctuas, I tested them both and decided to keep the beige version.įrom my tests, Redux proved to be an inferior product, it should be a lot cheaper than it is. I want to go all Noctua but never owned a Redux, I would appreciate any insight on this. So I own one puke brown and one Industrial PPC, I saw it's better than anything else I've tried. Cougars are also very good fans, butt still no match for the brown poo. This is a decent setup, but the BeQuiet!, while they are exceptionally quiet, they could use some better airflow and static, my puke brown Noctua offers all that.
Xigmatek, Cooler Master, True Quiet, Corsair, ID-Cooling, Scythe and a few others, most have been moved in other builds due to various issues, either noise at low speeds, PWM clicking, horizontal mounting problems and so on.įans I like and I currently use in my system are: an Arctic F12, which is used as bottom intake, Be Quiet! used for front intake and Cougar for exhaust.
Phanteks - 3 out of 5 had bad bearings, the two that worked were quite good but the failure rate was a downer so I've returned them. Yet, nothing compared or has been as impressive as an old Noctua NH-P12 and a Noctua Industrial PPC I own. Now before you recommend other fans, know that in my journey to avoid buying puke brown fans, I've owned quite a few other brands. Searching for other reviews and forums, the results are mixed, some say they are noisier, other say they are better but no one seems to have own both of have a clear answer. The most comprehensive tests I've found are from CoolingTechnique and from their results, Redux are noticeable better. Looking at some online reviews, the results are opposite. Looking at their website, the Redux lineup seems to be worse by a slight margin than their brown counterpart. I'm looking for some insight from someone who owned both Redux and the standard beige version.
