Noctua introduces two new fan lines - Wheres the beige?

[WYP]

Today Noctua announced that they will be producing two new fan lines and a wide range of accessories kits, the redux series which re-releases Noctua's older models (NF-P14, NF-S12B, NF-B9 and NF-R8) at a lower price for more budget conscious users and the IndustrialPPC (Protected Performance Cooling) models (based on the NF-F12 and NF-A14) which are marketed for heavy duty (industrial) cooling applications.

One thing I'm sure you noticed from the picture above is, Where is Noctua's standard brown/beige colour scheme?

Well the more basic Redux series fan will be using a light/dark grey colour scheme and the industrialPPC series will be all black with Brown anti-vibration mounts. Sadly these models will run from around 2000-3000RPM
(double the speed of the standard NF-F12) so we shouldn't see these in any PC that could even be considered quiet.That being said these are server parts and are not intended for consumer use, we can't really blame Noctua for these high speeds.

In addition to the new fan series', Noctua will also be introducing a wide range of accessory sets to complement these fans. Users will be able upgrade their redux or industrialPPC fans with anti-vibration mounts, Low-Noise Adapters, extension cables or y-cables. Some of these accessories we were used to seeing coming with their fans by default, so likely the Redux and IndustrialPPC fans will come light on accessories side.

What do you guys think of these new product lines from Noctua? I think it is great that Noctua is creating more budget oriented fans and I personally love the new light/darf Gray theme of the redux series, but I an sad that we will not be seeing more modern models, like the NF-F12, become available in this colour scheme.

Hm, was sort of hoping the industrialPPC ones would be consumer friendly, or at least have that option, they look really nice and I don't particularly like the look of the redux. Either way I suppose it doesn't really matter for me since I like the beige and brown

Finally!! Thank you, thank you !

 

[SieB]

They finally listened

Good for them, I can see a lot more people using Noctua fans now. Shame they did not also offer the Redux in black, the grey still looks great though and will still fit with nearly all colour schemes.

 

[Remmy]

At last! I think those silver/grey ones could look great with a suitable colour scheme.

[corasla]

Gotta catch'em all? ) Finally a color scheme that's more pleasing to the eye...

The color scheme of the consumer grade fans isn't amazing, but it will fit any build and will be quite easy to paint i suppose.
That packaging though. Neat.

 

[DJCW]

Certainly a step in the right direction, shame its just for older stuff

 

[barnsley]

Those server grade fans give me wood.
I might pick up one of the consumer fans though. Noctua is the biz after all.

 

[Aquatuning]

big enough box for a fan lol

 

[RizeAllard]

I like the appearance of these new fans. I hope we can touch them shortly. I have a lot of biege and brown ones and I have no problems with them.

I hope i can get a set of IPPC sets of fans for testing.

big enough box for a fan lol

I don't know, some couriers seem to hit packages with sledgehammers from time to time lol.

Do you guys think you will be stocking the Redux series fans anytime soon?

 

[Excalabur50]

Where can I get the Darf ones LOL!!

 

[Wraith]

The PPCs look the business in black.. just a shame about the beige consumer colours we get.

 

[Edge]

Omg finally.

 

[VerocityRequiem]

I really like the look of these! The old colour was soo ugly, they never looked right inside most cases and for themed Mods you can't use them because it ruined the look. These I can see myself buying
