Noctua NF-P14s redux-1200 PWM 140mm Fan Review

Epilogue

The Noctua NF-P14s redux-1200 PWM won’t break the bank, unlike the (top-performing) NF-A14x25 G2 model, but its low maximum rotation speed doesn’t provide enough room for competitive performance, and its bundle is poor. You have to pay extra to get anti-vibration pads! Lastly, at the normalized noise tests, this fan cannot meet the competition. So, it might be affordable at $ 18 for a Noctua fan, but the fact is that with $ 10, you can get the top-performing Arctic P14 Pro, which I need to evaluate at some point.

Be as it may, I have to congratulate Noctua, though, for providing realistic airflow and static pressure data. My respective readings were higher than the claimed ones, which rarely happens. On the other hand, Noctua’s noise readings were far from mine, but to the best of my knowledge, Noctua doesn’t mention how it got theirs.

Let’s now look at 25 dBA noise-normalized performance. I chose 25 dBA because it strikes a balance between being low enough not to annoy most users and high enough to allow for speeds that offer decent airflow and static pressure performance.

The airflow is not competitive at 25 dBA normalized noise output, while the static pressure is among the lowest in this category. With 18 dollars that this fan costs, you can get higher-performing results

The Noctua NF-P14s redux-1200 PWM isn’t as expensive as othe Noctua products, but it comes with a poor bundle, which doesn’t even include the anti-vibration pads, and there are better perfoming offerings at lower prices. To make matters worse, this fan’s performance is not competitive at both airflow and static pressure.
