Noctua Fan Round Up: Phase II Review
Overview
Hardware: CoolingWHAT WE LIKED:
Great Quality, Sturdy, Great Performance, Low noise, Elegant Packaging, Color VariationsWHAT WE DISLIKED:
Color variations are for specific uses rather extra selection, PriceyIntroduction
Noctua is a name synonymous with the idea of a nearly perfect fan. Some would say they are too pricey, but most people who have owned one usually deem the cost worth the quality of the product. In fact, the only quibble I’ve seen consistently stick with Noctua fans is the color scheme. While beige and brown provide a unique aesthetic that clearly defines the brand, it hardly fits in most color schemes that builders decide on for their rigs. Just when all hope was lost that we would ever see anything different, Noctua decided to give us two new colors in their arsenal of fans; a grey scheme for the Redux line and a black/brown scheme for their Industrial line. Before we dive into the fans, let’s learn a little bit about the company behind the magic.

Eh they still look ugly and there are other decent options for fans. I won’t be buying these.
They are not ugly! They are just an acquired taste. lol I like this much more than the previous models. The grey with good lighting should appear whatever color is in your build. Only having brown corners on the others make it easier to mask. A big step in the direct of wider adoption
They are, and I hate to admit it, the best fans for AIO coolers on the planet, quiet, efficient, and last forever.
Currently I have 12 fans. I intend to buy to replace 4x Corsair 140 (95cfm). The “look” from a time that is less important when we want the most performance and efficiency.
So I are buying them for their performances ^^
