They're pretty much the best fans you can get for a radiator, for airflow, they're gonna be ok.

are noctuas nf-f12 better used for radiators (static pressure) or airflow? thank you for reading.

For future reference, you can tell if a fan is optimized for pressure or airflow by the blade design, very broad fat blades are optimised for pressure (like the Nf-f12's) and fans with more, thinner blades are airflow fans.

nff12pw_4878.jpgNF-F12= very fat, wide blades.
