The Noctua NF-P12 Redux fans are updated versions of old favorites that are competitively priced with excellent performance.

When it comes to expensive hobbies, computers are definitely one of them. It is not as expensive as photography or cars, but if you are an enthusiast upgrading to new technology every year, it will definitely make it quite expensive. There are always budget options to go with. Starting with cases, one can always pick one up at a much lower price point, but there are always sacrifices accompanied with it. For cases, these sacrifices are not as big. You might not get RGB or tempered glass side panels, but you might have a plastic panel that will still show off all the internals instead. As for the processor and graphics card, these are usually the two components most people spend a big part of their budget on, and rightly so. The motherboard and the power supply are usually somewhere in the middle. Finding the cheapest one with the right features is about all you need in these two components. Memory is another part of the computer that can be really expensive, and with the high prices on DDR4 memory, it can really break the bank. Cooling is "just get something that is effective" and they vary in price. But one component that is not necessarily on the list to change are fans. For the most part, getting different fans may not make the biggest difference unless you spend a good sum of money on them. In each case, a manufacturer might have a light version or a more affordable version, which generally sacrifices on some features or on performance. Noctua has a similar line of products, but instead of being cheaper versions of new products, they are reissues of older models, the NF-P12 PWM and NF-P12, in a cheaper package. Today, we have the Noctua NF-P12 Redux in four different versions, the 1700 PWM, 1300 PWM, 1300, and 900. We will have to see how these bare essentials reduce price but keeps performance up to Noctua's standard.
