redux Fans:

The redux fans come in four sizes; 80mm, 92mm, 120mm, and 140mm. We received two 80mm units, one 92mm unit, two 120mm units, and three 140mm units to have a look at. As seen in the promotional image below, all redux fans feature a light grey frame with darker grey blades. Another thing I noticed right away is that these fans do not include Noctua's AAO (Advanced Acoustic Optimisation) feature on the frames, which is the fancy name for the rubber pads in the corners that help reduce vibration/noise. Other features point to this being a more basic fan design, but with the same noise rating, MTBF, and 6-year warranty as the other models it is definitely still a premium product.

The first set of images show the packaging for a 140mm (900RPM) redux fan and an 80mm (1800RPM) redux fan. The front of the box has a fairly sophisticated look, with minimal information provided. The back of each box covers the features and specifications of the fans found inside.

The below left image shows the two selected fans while still sitting inside the opened boxes. The engineering around the cardboard packaging may be more extensive than the engineering that goes in to some cheaper fans. The other two images in this row show the fans once removed from their boxes. In addition to the fan, all you get is a set of fan screws. One way Noctua could save money on these fans is to eliminate all of the accessories that typically come with their standard fans.

The next pair of images show the back of the fans, where Noctua has printed some model information on the hub label.
