Noctua NF-P14r redux-1500 PWM, High Performance Cooling Fan, 4-Pin, 1500 RPM

Let me state this first. I absolutely hate noisy fans and then I hate underperforming ones. If your case FANs are underperforming or doing excessive noise, then this is your chance to make it right.Noctua has been a long time friend in my life now. They keep saving me from having to suffer the horrendous high-pitch noise that can be heard on other FANs. Trust me when I say this, I'm completely bend on silent PCs. The problem is that I also like performing PCs and having to cool down an Ryzen 9 3950X with 128GB of RAM and an RTX2080 Ti is no easy fit.I've purchased a couple of P14 (3 in fact) to replace the current ones in my shiny new NZXT H710i case. The default FANs were silent enough but they were definitely underperforming, also, when turned to max power they are noisy too.I've replaced the 3 intake front fans with 2 of these P14 beauties and also the rear FAN. Put in tandem onto the same controller the front and the read are incredible powerful. When on idle I've set them to 600 RPM. Trust me when I say this, it is impossible to hear them work, it's like you do not have a PC connected at all.I'm using a Silent Corsair power supply so the only noise I hear from my PC now is the actual pump from the watercooler. As soon as I throw a heavy game into the mix those fans will speed up to a max of 1570 RPM. Yes, they can be heard at this point but the whole idea is that they throw power when needed and be silent when they are not.At max power though they are less noisy than the ones installed on the case and since I'm now have 3 FANs in total compared to 4, it's much more quiet too. The peformance has also increased. My GPU is now at 78 full load compared to 81 with default FANs and the CPU is also cooler by 3 degrees.For me the whole point about using this FANs is to reduce noise and still have competent FANs in the system. It was no surprise that I've ended up with a better performing system that is now dead silent when on idle.Noctua never dissapointed me. I could get the premium version of this FAN but this one was better looking for my case so I went with the REDDUX which is a cheaper version in grey. The technology is about the same and the results are similar, it's just these FANs do not have the premium parts such as the low power adaptor and noise dumpeners, fortunately I had a couple of dampeners from my other Noctua FANs so paying more for the premium versions was not required in this case.If you have any doubts that these fans could do good to your system, doubt no more, they are also beautiful !If I ever change the case again, swapping default FANs for these is a must. Nobody can do FANs the way Noctua does, they are so passionate about it and it shows. Their products are TOP quality, you will not be dissapointed.

What else is there to say? Noctua has a well deserved reputation for performance and quality. At 1500RPM these fans have monster airflow and are perfect for high performance case cooling or possibly for AIO coolers. They do get a bit loud at max speed but the bearings are pretty quiet. With a good fan profile these are very tame in my MicroATX HTPC/living room games machine and usually aren't audible unless something starts to get hot.Everything I own runs noticeably cooler and quieter now with all my fans being Noctua. They have a great warranty and last forever besides. Very high quality and consistent products. Highly recommended!

We are big fans of Noctua fans and have been using them time and time again and many of the builds that we do here. Sometimes the builds are for personal purposes, sometimes for testing, and sometimes for the stories we publish. Almost always, these systems have Noctua fans. The only exception is where ARGB fans are being highlighted for whatever reasons.Even with this affordable and fantastically gray fan (which is much more appealing to the eyes than brown), It performs better than most brands we come across (big and small), and is whisper quiet. All of the wonderful features that come with anything Noctua makes

This review is for the "Noctua NF-P14s redux-1500 PWM" 140mm fans.I bought these because I wanted some very quiet fans that could provide good air movement to the plants I have indoors. I tried a few non-computer fans first, but found them to be a bit too noisy. After doing some brainstorming, I found a way that I could mount some PC fans to my wire shelving unit, so that left trying to find some PC fans that could move lots of air.There are some other 140mm fans that can move more air, specifically ones that are 38mm thick. However, most, if not all of those use ball bearings and tend to be noticeably more noisy. I feel like these Noctua NF-P14 Redux fans are a very good middle ground.Definitely recommend these for plants if you can mount them within a couple feet of the plants. They are quiet and effective. They're not the most inexpensive option, but I feel that the low noise level and high air movement are worth the bit of extra cost.
