The classic NF-R8 is a long-standing favourite among enthusiast users around the world and helped to found Noctua’s reputation as a top-tier manufacturer of premium quality quiet cooling components. The new redux edition reissues this award-winning model in a streamlined, accessibly priced package that has been reduced to the essential core: the NF-R8 premium fan. Its industry grade SSO bearing, over 150.000 hours MTBF rating and full 6 years manufacturer’s warranty make the NF-R8 redux a proven premium choice that provides trusted Noctua quality at an attractive price point. The 1800rpm PWM version features Noctua’s proprietary NE-FD1 PWM IC for automatic speed control, which allows to strike a perfect balance between high cooling capacity and low noise operation in each given situation.

Proven NF-R8 design

• Tens of thousands of quiet cooling enthusiasts around the globe swear by Noctua’s classic NF-R8. Thanks to its impressive quietness, excellent performance and impeccable quality, the NF-R8 has become an established reference for quiet 80mm fans.

Streamlined redux edition

• The redux product line reissues some of Noctua’s most popular, award-winning models by presenting them in streamlined, accessibly priced packages. All redux edition products are industry proven, time-tested models that helped to found Noctua’s reputation as a first-tier supplier of premium grade low noise cooling equipment.

Custom designed PWM IC with SCD

• Supporting fully automatic speed control via PWM, the fan uses Noctua’s custom designed NE-FD1 PWM IC that integrates Smooth Commutation Drive (SCD) technology. By providing smoother torque impulses, SCD suppresses PWM switching noises and thus makes the fan quieter at lower speeds.

SSO-Bearing

• Combining the proven concept of hydrodynamic bearings with an additional magnet that supports the self-stabilisation of the rotor axis, Noctua’s time-tested SSO-Bearing technology has become synonymous with supremely quiet operation and exceptional long-term stability.
