Noctua NF-P12 redux-1300, Quiet Fan, 3-Pin, 1300 RPM (120mm, Grey)

Once again Noctua shows why it's one of the best fans on the market.Do you want a simple, inexpensive, fan that works? Then get this one. These are definitely a step down from the higher end NF-A12 fans, however if you don't need the absolute most quitest fans then these are solid contenders. They move a ton of air and are barely audible. Yes the NF-A12s are so much better in every way but despite wanting them I don't need to spend $300 on fans, and these do the job very well.I'm using them on a 4u server case, for the HDD enclosure fans. They move plenty of air over each of the 5 3.5" drives. I've also used them for radiator fans, for cooling a AV Receiver, and just about anything else. No complaints, no issues, just good ol reliable Noctua fans, but cheaper.

First time Noctua customer here. Happy to report that these fans are not only super easy to install but they are very quiet (to me) compared to some other fans I've had, including my Corsair fans. I'm slowly replacing all the case fans in my air cooling setup including the stock fans Phanteks pre-installed in my case and decided to purchase one of these 120mm case fans to replace one of the older Corsair fans that was making a god awful sound (it was on it's last legs). Really appreciate that they provide 3 pin connector versions vs 4 pin for those of us who can't or don't want to use 4pin due to extra cost or just not needing it.One of the biggest positives for me with choosing this fan is the fact that there is NO RGB on them! No shame if you enjoy RGB but for me I just prefer a PC that works and doesn't need all the extra lights on it. No extra cables to manage for RGB, no hubs, nothing like that so you just plug it in and enjoy. Overall I would recommend these fans to friends and I'll definitely be loading up with more of their 120mm and 140mm fans in the coming fans. Thanks for making an RGBless fan that's affordable with *optional* accessories to add on, Noctua!

2019/04/13 It was time to clean my computer. The liquid cooling area was very dusty. These fans are still quiet and working great. Excellent ProductI purchased a new computer system with a liquid cooling system 2018/02 and the fans at the top of the case that draw air out, stopped because they got dusty very quickly and are cheap. It's the only area of the computer that was dusty. I didn't want to purchase the same type of fans as the problem would just surface just as quickly, and no part numbers were to be found anyways. So I measured and began my search.........I wasn't sure if the speed/air flow of the "NF-P12 redux-1300" would be too much so I also ordered the "Noctua NA-SRC10 Accessory 3-pin Low-Noise Adaptors", but they weren't needed. The speed and air flow is perfect and the fans absolutely silent, ninja silent.For those who like just the bottom line:High quality (have you ever spun a fan blade by hand and known it was worthless or not? In relation to others I've dealt with, nothing comes close), ninja silent, and perfect air flow for my liquid cooling.Since the fans will be subjected to the part of my PC that gets dusty quickly I will keep this post updated from time to time as to the long term durability of the fans.

My computer is so quiet and so cool with this fan. All I need to make it cooler is sunglasses

Used 3 of these as my top fans. They work great at keeping my pc cool and there’s not a lot of noise feedback.

I got this fan to replace the stock fan in my PSU to quiet down my PC. I also got a scythe mugen rev b CPU cooler which is whisper quiet and I recommend.I have to disagree with some of the other reviewers here who say this is a quiet fan. Running at a full 12 volts and 1300 RPM it moves a decent amount of air but has a noticeable hum to it. To me it sounds much louder than 20db unless you're a good distance away from it.I ended up taking it out and comparing it to the stock fan using an adjustable power supply. In terms of noise it wasn't much better at the same airflow. I will say that the sound from the noctua was a bit less mechanical and more pleasant than the stock fan. Holding the noctua at full speed it did seem better balanced than the stock fan.I ended up buying some low noise adapters which did definitely quiet down the noctua. I would have bought the 1000 RPM fan in the first place had I known this.So the bottom line is this is a good fan and if it really lasts 150000 hours its not over priced at all. Its also actually quiet at lower RPM. It seems that if you want a quieter PC then more and bigger fans at lower RPM are the way to go.

Nice and quiet

Quiet fan with good pressure and good airflow. Very well designed fins.
