Should I get 2 Noctua redux p14s 900rpms or 1200rpms? The 900rpm has 0.76H20 at 13dB and the 1200rpm has 1.3H20 (I think) at 19dB

Keep in mind I'm going from stock H110 fans because they are loud but I don't want to lose too many temps :'(

1200 rpm. 19 dB is still very quiet.

Edit: Saw the 4670K. Go for the 900 rpm fans. That processor isn't very hot.

Get the regular Noctuas not the Redux ones, as you can get a NF-A14 with higher static pressure

Redux = £12 per fan

AF = £17 per fan

A lot more considering price difference and the fact I have to get 2 fans,no thanks

It's over clocked to 4.6GHz don't forget but I'm thinking that :P

What would be the point if the Redux wasn't cheaper? You pay more you get more.

 

Anyway, there are some alternatives that might be cheaper Noiseblocker PK-2's, Rosewill Hyperborea's.

1. Not that much performance gain for the price difference

2.over clockers has too much posting cost

3. Redux fits perfectly in what I want to spend on a fan
