NF-S12A vs NF-F12 in my 650d

The NF-S12A is for air flow in the case. I would use that go move the air in your case out and use the NF-F12 on your radiator because that is optimized for radiators.

hey guys,

 

I was thinking of getting NF-S12A for the two top fans for exhaust and replacing the corsair fans on the h80i with NF-F12 located at rear mount. I just wanted to know should I just get 2 more nf-f12 for my exhaust at the top or NF-s12a? I dont really know the difference between the two so if you could explain. I want my system to be quite to so I would be using the low noise adapters.

Well the NF-f12 don't need a low noise adpater since even at stock speeds it isnt audible. Not even the Nf-s12a need it. If you feel like its to noisy put on the blue or L.N adapter.

That really good to know thanks for the insight that make me feel much better.

 

Just as said previously, NF-S12A fans are air flow optimized fans. I'd recommend NF-F12's for a radiator, because they are for static pressure.

 

Ok thank you so you would recommned using the NF-S12A for my two fan at the top of case for exhaust?

Yes and I would even use NF-F12s for intakes since the static pressure will help pull in more air from the front and push more air past the drive cages.
