Overview
When performance knows how to be discreet

The famous NF-S12B has long been a benchmark for enthusiasts around the world and has helped Noctua build its reputation as a market leader in high-end silent cooling components. The brand new Redux series revives this famous model with a well thought-out and moderately priced offer that focuses on the essentials: the high-end NF-S12B fan.
The NF-S12B redux is equipped with an industrial-grade bearing - the SSO Bearing - and boasts an MTBF of 150,000 hours; complemented by a 6-year manufacturer's warranty, this premium model is a must-have and offers Noctua quality at an attractive price. The ultra-slow 700 rpm model is ideal for applications requiring a very low noise level or for those who are very sensitive to noise and require almost silent operation.

A proven fan
Thanks to its exceptional quietness, high performance and flawless component quality, the NF-S12B has become THE benchmark for quiet 120mm fans.
The Redux series: aim for the TOP
All products in the Redux series offer excellent longevity and meet the expectations of the most demanding customers.
Optimum case ventilation
The ventilation of PC cases traditionally requires a high airflow combined with a moderate static pressure. The NF-S12B, specially designed to deliver high airflow efficiently and with low noise, provides optimal performance in these low impedance applications.
Bevelled Blade Tips
By reducing the mechanical phenomena between the rotor and the stator, Bevelled Blade Tips increase the surface area of the blades while reducing noise. This optimisation is the key to the fan's amazing efficiency.
Smooth Commutation Drive 2
The latest version of Noctua's Smooth Commutation Drive system ensures smooth operation by eliminating torque variations and switching noises. This makes the fan very quiet, even at close range.
SSO-Bearing
By combining a hydrodynamic bearing with an additional magnet, SSO-Bearing technology significantly enhances the fan's performance, while ensuring a cathedral-like silence.
Optional accessories
With anti-vibration seals, 3/4-pin adapters and Y-cables, this range of Noctua fans has a wide range of accessories to meet the demands of your configuration.
6 year manufacturer's warranty
Noctua fans are renowned for their reliability. The Redux series models operate for up to 150,00 hours and come with a 6 year manufacturer's warranty.

    Quiet & efficient

    Very clean and neat packaging

    The power cable is long enough to sit in any standard configuration.
    The cable is also made of a grippy material, which is handy for the management cable (no flying cable).

    Even at full speed, the fan noise is barely audible.
    The airflow is just as expected and is much more efficient than a high end fan.

    Certainly one of my most cost-effective purchases.
    I highly recommend it.

    Noctua !!!!

    I've been using Noctua fans for years and so far not a single one has failed and in the end these fans are not that expensive considering their quality, I recommend them without any worries.

    Uhhh it's a ventlo NOCTUA ?

    Beware this fan is not PWM.
    So I had to dig into my "low-noise adapters" to get a fan that is not a jet turbine. I advise to buy a classic PWM model (you know, the so-called ugly ones in "brown-beige", but which are of much better quality).
    The plastic seems to be less solid than the "brown-beige" models, when I fixed it I saw the plastic going to powder... I'm disappointed and don't understand Noctua's positioning on the low-cost fan market. A test that I would not repeat.

    Meets expectations

    Meets expectations. The cable length is sufficient for an EATX tower.

    Finally they were chosen for the brand, the air volume and the low noise level.

    As a replacement for an old NoiseBlocker, it is perfect.
