Let's see how many people will complain, because all of the Fans are old Models 🙂

HOLY SH**T!!! These will sell like hot cakes!!! The demand for these will be insane! Sure they are just older models recoloured but there are still hundreds and thousands of people who want a Noctua fan but hate the colour scheme or that the colour scheme wont match their rig. These redux fans the red and black fans will go perfectly with my build!!!

Red?, the Rubber Grommets are Brown. (time to calibrate your monitor)

dang...I just bought some of the fans - outside of the return policy too. I would really have liked the grey scheme more, but whatever - the color was never enough to deter me from buying them. However, now that they're a bit less "different" grrr lol

NOOOOOO I wanted a black/gray P12 🙁 I can see those 2000rpm F12's selling like hotcakes though.

They willl continue the Premium Fans with the traditional color scheme. These are just Redux Fans for a more affordable price.

Can I know why do you use the term hot cakes? Who said hot cakes sales crazy nowdays?
Still a common saying from where I'm from in the southern United States.

Maybe it's just me, but I don't consider that especially affordable. It's not awful though. Its almost like buying a Lincoln, they're pseudo luxury but carry a pretty high price still.

I wouldn't exactly say "pseudo luxury". Yea, they're expensive, but they're AWESOME fans. Color scheme never really bothered me fan-wise. I was always more concerned with how it performed and how quiet it was while doing so, rather than "AAwww... these fans aren't cobalt blue to match my case color" or anything like that. Hell, when i had my Cosmos 2 case, i had like 5 different types of fans altogether. Up top i had two Noctua 120mm fans and a stock CoolerMaster fan. On the rear i had a 140mm Cougar fan. The front had i believe it was a 180mm or 200mm CoolerMaster red LED fan. The two fans by the hard drives were stock CM 120's. And then the Prolimatech Armageddon CPU cooler had two Prolimatech 140mm fans on it that had blue fan blades and hub with a black frame. That being said... would i buy their new ones? Well.... that's a definitive maybe. Been wanting to get a different fan for my radiator... but dunno.

You know what I mean though by pseudo luxury, fans are fans, they move air. With that said, I'm not sure I understand why there isn't more of a push to move to 200mm fans or thereabouts. They're so much quieter than 120's. I honestly hate 120's now.

Sorry, but for that kind of money ill buy a blacknoise. will not only get quiet fans (motor and airflow) made in germany, nice warranty and blades that are almost dust free after month of use (makrolon) so far they are the only ones with TUV certified performance, and doing industrial solutions for a bit longer than just this year... im using noiseblocker for 10y and so far have to come across another brand that can beat them while being cheaper (otherwise why switch?!).

Have you actually ever had a Noctua fan? And yea.... Noctua... made in Austria, and a 6-year warranty.

@scoter man1 Frozen cpu is cheaper. The blue ones are fine... @elemental dragonim Yes, (almost) all brands claiming to be silent. And again: so far have to come across another brand that can beat them, while being cheaper. The german TUV test are pretty stringent, when they look at manufacturer claims. If noctua is so close to Germany, and might even have an office there, why not get them "certified" too? At least I can see a reason why not, unless they cant support their "claims". Blacknoise is doing a couple of things "more" than noctua (design/material wise), so I know they have an advantage (no matter how good the noctuas are). Noctua just started making industrial grade fans, Blacknoise for a lot longer... I'm not saying they're bad, but so far noiseblocker are better.

I'm pretty sure it's for the simple reason that... well... they don't have to get their fans TUV certified. Why go through the extra measures to get them certified? Chances are it's probably not a cheap thing to do, either. as for the "couple of things "more"" that Noiseblocker is doing compare to Noctua... the only thing i can really see is that "Makrolon"... but honestly, if you're that concerned with dust in the fans, i think the plastic that your fan is made of shouldn't be your primary concern. I wouldn't expect a cheaper fan to necessarily be better... just as i wouldn't want to spend more money on a fan simply because they're TUV certified, and so that dust doesn't stick to them. In fact... to be quite honest, i'd rather have a fan that the dust DOES stick to a little bit over a long period of time. Why? Because i'd rather have that dust either trapped by a dust filter, or sticking to something that's fairly easy to clean than being stuck to my components. Your fan might be made of Makrolon. Heatsinks, however... are not.

@ElementalDragon i see it the other way: if the noctuas are so good, why cant they?! it would be another plus for advertising/marketing. reminds me of the lexus LFA that took 10y to "design", yet is not outperforming others like ferrari or lambo? with air comes dust, no matter what (unless in clean-room environment), meaning any dust getting past filters will get to components, not matter if some of it sticks to fans or not. my point is, i dont have to clean the blades regularly. i just got a rig back to upgrade (that i build more than 8 month ago), and the fans have less dust on the blades than a reg. fan after 2m. i see it like the nano coating you can get for cars. its not to keep the car from getting dirty, but once it is, you just use a hose and rinse it off, without doing anything else.. again, not saying noctua is bad, but if product B doesnt perform better than A (and/or is cheaper), why would i switch?!
