What's the big difference?

[Spev]

I own a Noctua NH-U14s. Currently with 1 fan, but I want 2. The stock fan colors disgust me...I have been looking at the redux models.

They don't make my exactly fan cooler (NF-A15 PWN) in the redux lineup, but I think some of the 140mm redux fans fit on my heatsink, I'm still trying to figure it out.

 

 

 

Anyways, what is the big difference? I linked the comparison chart, it seems like most of the features the redux doesn't have are like little indents on the fan and stuff like that which are supposed to help the air flow and make it quiet....does anyone have these fans? Or even better on a Noctua heatsink? I wonder if they are much louder or have the same performance.

the redux are just slightly lower performance and dont have the grommets i would reccomend you look at the industrial ppc 2000's

I need it to fit on my CPU heatsink, all the industrial fans are squad I believe, I'm not sure but I think I need one of the rounder shaped ones. Even though they don't have my exact model in the redux line, they do have similar 140mm circular ones. The mounting spots are different for where the hook goes in, compared to the square ones where it's all on the edge. Not sure if they would work.

well if the ppc wont fir neither will the ppc leaving you with the nfa 14

The redux fans are all optmized for either open airflow or general usage and not static pressure which is important to a heatsink with dense fins like the u14s. There's isn't any fan that wouldn't be a downgrade that isn't an IPPC or some obnoxiously loud fan.
