Noctua 120mm NF-P12 redux-1700PWM - NF-P12 redux-1700P Fan

This Noctua NF-P12 redux-1700PWM is a 120 mm fan for cases, aimed at stable and quiet cooling without unnecessary extras. It operates in a wide range of 450–1700 RPM, giving you flexibility – from nearly silent idle to serious airflow under load. At max speed, it reaches 70.75 CFM, while the noise remains reasonable – up to 25.1 dBA. The classic 120 x 120 x 25 mm form factor and 4-pin PWM connector make it easy to integrate into almost any system.

What you get

With this fan, you actually gain balanced cooling and control. The range of 450 RPM allows the case to be almost silent during light tasks, while at 1700 RPM you have serious airflow of 70.75 CFM, sufficient for powerful GPU/CPU configurations. Thanks to PWM control, you can connect the fan to the motherboard and set curves according to temperature, instead of it running constantly at maximum. The SSO Bearing and declared MTBF of 150000 hours mean very long 24/7 operation without drama. The low consumption – only 1.08 W at 12 V and 0.09 A – is a plus if you have many fans on one hub or motherboard.

• Size 120 x 120 x 25 mm – standard format that fits most cases and radiator positions.
• Speeds 450–1700 RPM – wide range for quiet mode under low load and aggressive cooling when needed.
• Airflow 70.75 CFM (120.2 m³/h) – sufficient for effective cooling of components in mid-range and high-end configurations.
• Noise level 25.1 dBA – optimized for a relatively quiet profile even at higher speeds.
• 4-pin PWM connector – full control through the motherboard or fan controller for dynamic adjustment.
• SSO Bearing and MTBF 150000 hours – bearing and reliability prepared for years of continuous operation.
• Consumption 12 V / 0.09 A / 1.08 W – gentle on the power supply, especially in systems with many fans.

Who it is suitable for

It is suitable if you are looking for a reliable 120 mm fan for a case with a good balance between noise and airflow, especially for gaming or work systems that stay on all day. It is also a good choice for those who want clean PWM control and long life without paying for LED effects or unnecessary extras. If you are going for an entirely visual build with RGB everywhere, the focus here is more functional and simple.

The combination of high MTBF, wide RPM range, and serious CFM at moderate noise makes this Noctua NF-P12 redux-1700PWM a very stable base for a well-cooled and quiet case. You simply mount it, set the PWM profiles, and forget that you are even thinking about fans.
