Details
The NF-P12 has been specifically developed for applications such as CPU coolers that demand superior pressure and airflow performance. Thanks to psychoacoustic optimizations like the Vortex-Control Notches, the SCD drive system and Noctua's premium-grade SSO-Bearing, the NF-P12 achieves exceptional quietness and long-term stability.
Proven NF-P12 Design
Tens of thousands of quiet cooling enthusiasts swear by Noctua's classic NF-P12. Its impressive quietness, excellent performance and impeccable, time-tested quality made the P12 a default choice for 120mm quiet cooling.
Pressure-optimised Nine-Blade Design Specifically developed for high-impedance applications such as CPU coolers, water-cooling radiators or cases with tight fan grills, the NF-P12 provides outstanding pressure and airflow performance.
SSO-Bearing
Combining the proven concept of hydrodynamic bearing with an additional magnet that supports the self-stabilisation of the rotor axis, Noctua's time-tested technology has become synonymous with supremely quiet operation and exceptional long-term stability.
Vortex-Control Notches
Noctua's signature Vortex-Control Notches split up trailing edge vortices and thus spread the fan's noise emission over a wider range of frequencies. This measure makes the NF-P12 sound more pleasant to the human ear.

sorted byoverclockers Noctua NF-P12 Redux 1700rpm
I can't find any other evidence that the listed fan differs from the redux variant. In the video you linked, they never compare it against the non-redux variant.
This shouldn't be compared with Noctua's other lineup like the A12, which are £30 and are better than the P12 series.
I just bought 2 now without having any need for them whatsoever, because one day I will need them and then they will be well worth what I paid for them.
If only the non-ugly ones were the same price.
I thought I'd give Noctua fans a shot, to see how the other half live and I haven't stopped using them since.
This NF-P12 was a Halo Noctua fan back in the day, but it's been superseded by newer designs.
I'm not sure how useful 3-pin is these days though. Motherboards used to be fine adjusting a 3-pin fan but then we went 4-pin PWM control. Does anyone know if some motherboards can still modulate fanspeed using 3-pin?
My favourite 120mm Noctua fans have been the NF-F12 PWM for coolers and NF-S12A PWM for case fans.
I've just bought a used pair of Noctua's most recent 120mm fans, the NF-A12x25 PWM to evaluate. They are meant to be a multipurpose fan so I mean to test them well. I wouldn't pay the full asking price for a Noctua if I can get a good deal second-hand. These fans are built so well that they last for years, money well spent.
I would guess something like
amazon.co.uk/Pha…CRM
might be able to do the job. Some fan controllers support 3 pin, but just set them to 100%, so need to do more resreach.
