NF-F12 industrial for the NH-U12S

[Yew4life]

Both versions are virtualy the same price where i love is there any downside on using it over the standard NF-F12

 

Note um useing a 6700k non oc

It won't much difference ...

There's no downside aside from the NF-F12 having a lower lower limit for noise but the NH-U12S already comes with the normal NF-F12.

There's absolutely no point to get the industrial version if you're not overclocking. The NH-U12S can keep a stock i7 frosty even with high ambient temps.

 

If there is a chance you'll overclock, you'd be better served by the NH-U14S, which has much more headroom without the extra noise.

The NF-F12 Industrial IPPC fans have a different control curve then normal. They will not start up unless above 4-5v, unlike some other fans which can go as low as 2.5v for minimum RPM. They draw more power, so you may not be able to power two of them from a single 4pin PWM from the motherboard (depends on mobo), thus unless you have a secondary CPU_fan/CPU_Opt 4pin PWM you may be screwed. They are also noisy as fuck, even at reduced speeds.

I've owned both the 120mm and 140mm IPPC fans from Noctua. Only use them if noise is a complete non-issue for you, because they will be loud. INSANELY loud.
