NF-F12 for rads  120mm

NF-A14 for case 140mm

Posted

I have a swiftech h220-x cpu cooler and I want some quieter fans for it. I know that Noctua is the best. So which ones are the best for 240mm radiator? (I want them to be quiet above all else)

 

Also what noctua fans should I get for normal case fans?

This is my opinion, it doesn't mean I'm right and is liable to change at any time. I may offend of which I apologize in advance.

What teeejay said, S12A's for the airflow fans although getting more NF-A14's and NF-F12's would be a good idea too.

NF-F12 are loud at full speed compared to Vardar F2 or Vardar F3

Listen here:

F12 has been proven time & time again to be louder and not as powerful as Gentle Typhoons....get GT AP-14 if you can....if not available/you need PWM get the Vardars mentioned above. Pretty identical to GT but a tad louder. Im not a fan boy....just an engineer. F12 are ok but not the best.
