NH-U12S redux
As promised by Noctua, when compared toe to toe with the NH-U12S, the NH-U12S Redux offers about the same thermal performance. The only difference is that, all else held equal, the Redux is technically noisier for the same level of cooling performance. And we say "technically" because while there is a difference, you're going to be hard-pressed to notice them, especially as the absolute noise levels are still well below what anyone would consider a noisy cooler. If anything, the NH-U12S Redux is one of the quietest tower coolers with a 120 mm fan that we have ever tested, and it's less noisy than Noctua’s own NH-U12A, a cooler that costs nearly twice as much.
"We believe that the great overall performance and good build quality make the NH-U12S Redux a very competitive product. It is a product that makes a lot of sense in today’s market." (E. Fylladitakis, Anandtech.com)
