![]() I will mount the fan and test it at 5V/7V/9V/12V and my goal will be to check the performance of the fan in real conditions. The tests will be conducted in my standard way. Now let’s do some testing and check what the fan has to offer. Noctua NF-S12B redux – 1200PWM, like every other model part of the Redux series, is provided with a very simple accessories pack which features only one set of four installation screws to attach the fan to a case fan slot Noctua NF-S12B redux – 1200PWM ADDITIONAL ACCESSORIES The PWM IC with SCD control method integrates Smooth Commutation Drive (SCD) technology, by providing smoother torque impulses, SCD suppresses PWM switching noises and thus the product operates more quietly at lower speeds.Įnough about the fan, let’s check the additional accessories. The fan is designed to be 4-pin PWM IC with SCD powered and regulated. The SSO-Bearing technology is designed to provide very quiet operation and exceptionally stable long life span of up to 150 000 hours. Of course, the connection between the motor and the propeller for Noctua NF-S12B redux – 1200PWM is done by the typical for the company SSO-Bearing, which combines the proven concept of hydrodynamic bearings with an additional magnet to support the self-stabilization of the rotor axis. This will result in increasing the blades surface area to deliver quieter operation and thus form a cornerstone of the fan’s efficiency. The blades themselves are designed with the Noctua’s Bevelled Blade Tips technology, which is meant to reduce the critical rotor/stator interactions and to extend the leading edges of the blades. The frame itself looks pretty nice but let’s check the pressure optimized propeller, which for this model is designed with 7 pretty narrow and very sharply angled blades, developed for high-impedance applications such as CPU coolers, water-cooling radiators or cases with tight fan grills, which will lead to very high and stable airflow performance at very low noise level. #Noctua nf s12b redux 1200 fullThe fan itself is designed with a square, plastic frame, 120 x 120 x 25mm in size and entirely painted in light grey, which is very simple and is made to be installed on a 120mm case fan slot, CPU cooler or water cooling radiator compatible with a 120mm fans, where its square shape will ensure full coverage and best pressure performance. But of course, I will check this a bit later. The original model was a very good performer and I am really happy to see the fan was recreated with a new appearance and most probably delivering the same or even better performance. Actually, NF-S12B FLX was one of the first products tested and reviewed for this web page. The Noctua NF-S12B redux – 1200PWM is based on NF-S12B FLX which was released several years ago and which I had the chance to test and review. Now I believe it is time to pay some attention to the structure of the fan.Īs part of the redux series, Noctua NF-S12B redux – 1200PWM is based on the classic premium fan. #Noctua nf s12b redux 1200 seriesOf course, on the front panel of the package there are the company logo, the size of the fan, the series name and the model name, while the full technical specifications explaining the product is located on a white sticker on the back of the box.Īnd before I continue describing the fan structure I want to mention that in this test and review I will describe and test only Noctua NF-S12B redux -1200PWM just because my equipment is not capable to test the other fans on the picture above, which are with dimensions of 80 and 92mm. A package entirely made of robust carton delivering very firm fan protection and painted in the typical for the series grey / brown colour scheme. Noctua NF-S12B redux – 1200PWM was delivered to me to perform a test and review in their latest, pretty simple and at the same time very stylish looking type of box. So far I’ve had the chance to test and review the biggest models part of the series with dimensions of 140mm – Noctua NF-P14r Redux 1500PWM and Noctua NF-P14s Redux 1500PWM and now it is time time to check what the fastest PWM powered and regulated version with dimensions of 120mm has to offer in matter of appearance, quality and performance. As part of the Noctua’s portfolio, the Redux series is actually one of the largest ones and is meant to offer a lot and various models designed to deliver a very high quality and most of all a lot of cooling options. ![]()
