Review: Can't fault these fans. Silent, reliable, reasonable price. - I use my PCs all day, every day for everything from writing reviews to recording music. I also use them for gaming and running a driving / flight sim rig. I find the sound of the fans incredibly distracting, so it's been a bit of an obsession to find proper, silent fans. Years ago I discovered Noctua fans, and I haven't used anything else since then. I'm not sponsored and I buy my fans at full price just like everyone else. I say good things about them because I think they are really good, and because they work, reliably. I have fans in one of my PCs that must be 15 years old, and still work as well as the day I installed them. Noctua fans are a 'professional' product, in that you pay a premium price for a premium product. Noctua's standard range is beautifully presented, and the fans come with vibration mounts, splitter cables and a bunch of other 'case candy', some of which isn't really needed for every build. This is where the 'Redux' range comes in. Same quality, same performance, different colour and none of the extras - for a lower price. To be fair, you don't get any anti-vibration mounts. You don't really need them if you screw the fans in the conventional way, but they are an important part of the 'quiet fan' experience. No problem - if you prefer to use flerxible mounts, Noctua sell them as an optional extra, in a variety of colours. Wait, what? Colours? Yes. You no longer have to have boring beige and brown fans if you want a quiet PC. OK, there's no silly RGB on offer, and the new Redux fan colour scheme is an equally boring grey on grey, but it's neutral and does look classy. You can then add optional vibration mounts and pads in your choice of colours. Or not, if you don't need them. I'll admit, I was sceptical. The standard fans aren't exactly expensive compared with a gaming GPU, and I have been really happy with the noise level vs cooling quality of the standard Noctua fans for years. I felt no reason to compromise. Until I discovered that the fans I wanted for my latest project were out of stock. I was moving my mATX gaming PC from a 'cube' case to a conventional PC tower (reviewed seperately) so I could install a full-sized GPU, and I couldn't wait indefinitely for the new stock of fans to arrive. I decided it was time to try the Redux range, and ordered a pair of PF12 Redux-1300RPM intake fans and a PF12 Redux-1700 fan for the exhaust. I needn't have worried. The Redux fans are excellent. I use the fan tuning software provided with my motherboard, and at idle the PC is totally silent. I can see all three case fans turning through the window in my new case, and that's the only evidence that they are running. If I manually set all the fans to run at full speed, the sound is definitely noticeable, but not particularly annoying. Great. It's quiet. How cool does it keep the case? Very, as it turns out. I ran benchmarks using the 'standard' benchmark software, and I was pleased to find that my hardware was performing at the upper end of 'average' without any overclocking or excessive cooling. The motherboard temperatures were well under control. Interestingly, during the benchmark the case fans never got anywhere near their maximum speed. The CPU fan ramped up pretty fast, and the GPU fans went full-hovercraft, but the case fans were easily up to the job. The three fans are shifting more than enough air to keep the inside of the case at the same temperature as the room it's in, no matter what the PC is doing. And most of the time, they are doing it silently.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: How many cfm, or cubic feet per minute?**
A: Google says "120,2 cubic meters per hour to cubic feet per minute = 70,747049 (cubic feet) per minute." I can type that in with the best of them.

**Q: Is this an airflow fan or a static pressure fan?**
A: The fan blades are shaped for static pressure. https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00KF7PPY4/ref=psdc_11036291_t1_B07CG2PGY6 are shaped for airflow. These are static optimized fans

**Q: If I want to only use  two wires on this fan for max speed, which leads should I use green / black ?**
A: Here's some info that might help you, and should answer that question giving you some confidence...  that extra pin on a 4 pin fan is the digital speed control -- this is why the fan goes at max speed if plugged into a 3 pin connector (letting the 4th pin just hang over the side), rather than a a 4 pin connector.  Pin number 3 is what tells your motherboard the rotations per minute (RPM) of the fan.  So, all that you are left with is the first two pins.  The first pin is ground (almost always black) and the second pin is the power (it's 12 volts, but you can get 5 volts from the a custom connector from the power supply instead of the 4 pin motherboard connector if you want to have a slower fan).  Here's a chart:

For 4-Wire Pulse Width Modulation (PWM) Controlled Fans

Pin 	Name 	Description	Wire color(usual)
1	GND 	Ground            black
2	+12V	Fan Power	yellow
3	SIGNAL	Fan RPM	        green
4	PWM	Digital Control	blue

So to answer your question, yes it is possible to just use the first two pins (regardless of color, although the first one is almost always black, but the color of the second one is not always the same).

**Q: Will the pwm control on this fan stop it completely even with power to +12v/gnd?**
A: On my motherboard (ASUS X99-E WS), can't speak for any other motherboards, any percentage below 50% results in no movement, giving you only really adjustment between 50-100%. I found this somewhat frustrating, but I do prefer this to them never coming to a complete stop.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Quality fan
*by W***R on 25 October 2025*

Love this fan. It is of solid quality build. Fitment was easy, even comes with the necessary mounting screws. The braided covered cable is neat, and the 4-pin connector is positive to push on to the motherboard's relevant connection. The fan is whisper-silent in operation, yet moves a considerable amount of air. Excellent, nothing to dislike.
