It has to mentioned, though, that even the 1700 at full RPM was barely audible. At the end, it depends on whether you prioritize cooling or silence. Considering that the Redux fans are supposed to be budget alternatives to Noctua’s more pricey offerings, these have performed admirably. Temperature deltas are what one would expect at each RPM range. The 1700 RPM model was tested at max RPM to differentiate the performance between 1300 RPM and 1700 RPM. The 1300 RPM PWM model was tested in standard fan curve and turbo. Non PWM fans were running at their max RPMs. The system was stressed using the ASUS Realbench utility, tortured tested for 10 minutes with 4GB RAM. HW Monitor was used for observing the temperatures. CPU was at stock voltage, tested at stock clocks. Corsair Vengeance LED Red 2X8GB 3200MHzįans were tested with the Noctua U12S SE-AM4 heatsink.We’ll see how all this translates to real world performance in our testing. Noctua has clearly adhered to their high quality standards even for their lower end products.
