Noctua nf-f12 pwm chromax or arctic p12

Rothhaus
Go to solution Solved by Stahlmann,

I have had both of them. The arctic are great value. In terms of performance they're about the same, but the noctua is quite a bit better when it comes to noise. You have to decide if noise is worth it to you. If not, go for arctic.

Which one of these fans would provide a better static pressure? I need two new fans for my case, they're gonna be exhaust fans and they have to be able to push air through a dust filter. I cant really find any comparisons online so I was hoping someone in here had experience with both fans.

P12. If you want Noctua, you can go with NF-P12, A12x25, NF-P12 redux, chromax

If someone did not use reason to reach their conclusion in the first place, you cannot use reason to convince them otherwise.

Have you considered the NF-A12x25? A very good all rounder fan. It’s a bit pricey and only available in brown and beige but overall it’s a very good fan for case or heat sink.

Why would you have a dust filter for exhaust?

I agree, completely overlooked this

its just the way my pc case is made, on top there is a dust filter which I think is to prevent any dust from falling into the case, if it wasn't there dust would just go inside when the pc is off. Its a corsair icue 465 rgb case.

I have actually, alot of times, heard really good things about them, I just can't stand that poop brown colour they have. If they made them in black I would buy them.

Actually the 'poop brown colour' doesn't look too bad (in my opinion).
