What Noctua case fans to get? NF-P12 vs NF-F12


First of all, let's get something out there...

 

I don't care for PWM, in fact I think it's unnecessary and stupid.

 

On my R4 I will control fan speed based on voltage (5V-7V-12V)

 

So because of no pwm functionality I chose the NF-P12, correct me if i'm wrong but they are the exact same thing as the NF-F12, but without PWM

 

 

So in the end, which one is better?

 

For back single exhaust and dual front intake.

 

thanks.

Static pressure difference is fairly big. If your intake fans are going to be pushing against an HDD cage that's fairly dense, I would find something that has more static pressure than overall airflow. Then again, the P12 is still a fantastic fan with all right static pressure.

 

NF-F12
