H320 Replacing fans with Noctua NF-F12's or SP120's?

[TechSilver13]

So there isn't a HUGE price difference and you can't see the colors of the ugly Noctua's in my case, with that said which will be better? I assume the NF-F12's would be more silent and last longer compared to the SP120's. Also how much improvement would I see in temps (rig below) I can get 4.8GHz on my 4790K but need every bit of extra cooling I can get as the temps are where I want them. I will be doing push pull as well.

The NF-F12's are one of the best fans on the market, the sp120's are mediocre fans. So the noctua wins in all categories. You won't notice a big difference in temps however, the biggest difference in the noise.

thanks guys! I am going with the NF-F12's, hell they are 20 more bucks over the SP102's which do not impress me when it comes to noise.

There is literally no reason to not get Noctua's if the colors won't bother you and you're willing to pay the price. Enjoy  Also, you don't need push/pull on thin low fpi AIO rads.

And if color does bother you and your willing to pay the price, you can get these. I have been really thinking about it, but right now 100 dollars on fans ( I would need at least 3) is a little more than I can spend.

I got 6 nf F12s for 107 dollars. So basically I got 2 for 1 when it comes to the industrial fans.

Yea you really have to really want Noctuas and really hate their color scheme because almost 20 dollars extra a fan is a lot of money. I also am looking at 140mm fans so it is a little more compared to 120mm.
