Product Information
Full details
The Noctua NF-P14s REDUX-900 is a 140mm computer cooling fan designed for users seeking quiet and efficient performance in PC cases and cooling applications. It offers Noctua's renowned build quality and SSO bearing technology at a more accessible price point. While it excels in quiet operation, its 900 RPM speed means it may not be the top choice for extreme overclocking scenarios requiring maximum airflow.

FAQs
What is the difference between the REDUX series and Noctua's premium fans?
The REDUX series offers the core performance and quality of Noctua's award-winning fan designs but with streamlined aesthetics and fewer accessories to achieve a more accessible price point.
Can I control the fan speed with a 3-pin connector?
Yes, 3-pin connectors allow for voltage-based speed control (DC mode). Your motherboard's BIOS or fan control software will manage the speed by adjusting the voltage supplied to the fan.
What is MTBF and why is it important?
MTBF stands for Mean Time Between Failures. It's an estimate of how long a product is expected to operate before failure. A higher MTBF, like the 150,000 hours for this fan, indicates high reliability and longevity.
Is this fan suitable for a CPU cooler radiator?
Yes, the NF-P14s REDUX-900's pressure-optimized design makes it well-suited for radiators, providing good static pressure to push air through the dense fins, especially when quiet operation is desired.
What is the warranty period for this fan?
Noctua provides a 6-year manufacturer's warranty for the NF-P14s REDUX-900, reflecting its high build quality and expected durability.
Where can I buy accessories like anti-vibration mounts?
Noctua offers a wide range of optional accessories, including anti-vibration mounts, extension cables, and adaptors, which can be purchased through authorized Noctua retailers or directly from Noctua's website.
Troubleshooting
Fan does not spin
Ensure the 3-pin connector is securely plugged into the motherboard fan header. Check BIOS settings to confirm the fan header is enabled and set to an appropriate speed profile. Try connecting the fan to a different header or power source.
Fan is unusually noisy or rattling
Check for obstructions (cables, debris) hitting the fan blades. Ensure the fan is securely mounted and not vibrating against the chassis. If the noise persists and is mechanical, contact Noctua support as the bearing may be compromised.
Fan speed is not changing
Verify that your motherboard's fan header supports DC voltage control (most 3-pin headers do). Ensure your BIOS or fan control software is configured correctly for speed regulation. Some motherboards might require specific drivers or software for optimal fan control.
Pros and Cons
Pros
- Extremely quiet operation at 900 RPM.
- Excellent build quality and reliability.
- Proven performance for radiators and case cooling.
- Attractive price point for Noctua quality.
- Long Mean Time Between Failures (MTBF) of 150,000 hours.
- Comes with a 6-year manufacturer's warranty.
Cons
- Lower maximum rotational speed (900 RPM) compared to other models, potentially limiting maximum airflow for extreme cooling needs.
- The 3-pin connector limits speed control compared to 4-pin PWM fans.
- Primarily focused on quietness, not absolute maximum airflow.
- The REDUX line has fewer included accessories compared to Noctua's premium lines.
Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup:
The NF-P14s REDUX-900 features a standard 140mm square frame with mounting holes spaced at 124.5mm. It connects via a 3-pin power connector to your motherboard's fan header.
- Mounting: Secure the fan using screws or Noctua's anti-vibration mounts (sold separately) to the desired location (case chassis, radiator).
- Connection: Connect the 3-pin cable to an available fan header on your motherboard.
- Speed Control: Fan speed will be controlled via voltage regulation (DC mode) through your motherboard's BIOS or fan control software.
Compatibility:
- Mounting Size: Compatible with any standard 140mm mounting points (124.5mm spacing).
- Motherboard Headers: Requires a 3-pin fan header for power and speed control.
- Radiators: Suitable for 140mm radiators requiring good static pressure.
Care:
To maintain optimal performance and longevity:
- Dust Removal: Periodically clean the fan blades and frame using compressed air or a soft brush. Ensure the fan is not spinning when cleaning with compressed air.
- Bearing Lubrication: The SSO-bearing is pre-lubricated and sealed; it does not require user lubrication.
- Avoid Excessive Force: Do not apply excessive force to the fan blades or frame.
