Noctua NF-R8 redux-1800, High Performance Cooling Fan, 3-Pin, 1800 RPM (80mm, Grey)

The product arrived faster than i thought. Great air flow for that size and barely can hear the noise coming from the fan.

Used this to replace an older computers CPU fan. I am amazed by how quiet it is, even at higher RPMs. Absolutely worth the extra money.

Installed in my HTPC. Louder than expected, even at 1,600 RPMs. Pushes plenty of air. However, had to re-install my original Nexus 80 MM fans which were noticeably quieter. Note that this is not the PWM model so I used the motherboard RPM throttling. Nice design. Will use for out-of-the-way computers.

I used this fan (Noctua NF-R8 redux-1800) to quiet down my aftermarket T-Mobile Gateway Trashcan Lid. It required a 3-pin to USB adapter, but works great under 5v power. I am incredibly impressed with how quiet the fan is in this application. Yes, fan speed is reduced, but I don’t need all that much airflow. I just want to provide a bit of active assist without adding to the ambient noise, otherwise. This fan does that, while promising long life, to boot. That’s a huge win/win for me!

Needed a new fan for my 80mm modded OG Xbox. The cheapo 2500RPM Rosewill LED fan I used to begin with is very loud, and is molex only so cant utilize the Xboxs auto fan control.

Superb Product Great 80mm Fan

Overall this was a terrible experience compared to other noctua fans I have received. Would not recommend do to quality control. Its hit or miss with this company. You may get a good product you may not.

They run INCREDIBLY quiet, but push a considerable amount of air for being so small.

So far so GREAT! Very quiet fans.

I am using this as an intake fan on an old SFF desktop. This fan moves a serious amount of air! I had expected it to be silent as I understand that many Noctua products are. This fan is not silent, but it is easily one of the quietest computer fans I have ever heard. For the amount of air it brings into the system, I am not going to complain about a little noise.
