Which of the 2 fans would be the better heatsink choice to replace a 92x92x14mm fan onto a Noctua Nh-L9-x65 air cooler? Regular one (brown color) or the redux line one (grey)

Looks like a question of airflow vs noise. Brown one moves more air but is louder (and uglier).

The Redux is $5 cheaper...makes sense...

But I like better performance, especially since I assume a smaller, low profile cooler like the L9 needs as much flow as possible?

Have you read the reviews of that Vantec... LOL

Unless you want to have a jet engine inside your house turn on whenever your computer's on... then yeah...
