Noctua's highly anticipated announcement of new colour schemes, in the form of new models called Noctua redux and IndustrialPPC, was met with mixed reactions. On one hand, Noctua's customers finally have the option of buying fans that they know will be high quality, with a colour scheme that potentially works better with their current design. On the other, the features seem to be quite limited.

Normally a Noctua fan will include rubber dampening pads, a low-noise adapter, an extension cable, a Y-splitter cable, and some rubber anti-vibration mounts. The Noctua redux includes the fan and four plain mounting screws; Noctua IndustrialPPC adds some dampening pads. The cables are 40cm in length rather than 20cm, which eliminates the need for extension cables, but may require some extra effort in cable management if the length isn't required.
