Noctua Fans?

[Jerk48]

I'd like to replace my fans on my build but I cant tell the differences between Noctua airflow and static pressure on there industrial line. I'd like to get 2 120mm for my h100i GTX, 2 140mm for intake and 1 120mm to replace the fan thats comes with the gigabyte 980ti waterforce.

You'll want airflow for the case, and static for the radiators.

air flow is for when there is nothing that could block the airflow

i disagree. things like front hard drive cages, thick fan grills, or even bad cabling are all areas where static pressure fans would be better. i have switched all my case fans for static pressure fans because of this.

this is the static pressure fan

 

140mm variant. but i am not a fan of the 140mm noctua radiator fans.

Just get NF-F12 for everything in the 120MM section http://pcpartpicker.com/part/noctua-case-fan-nff12industrialppc3000pwm

And 140 http://pcpartpicker.com/part/noctua-case-fan-nfa14industrialppc3000pwm

Umm. I don't think the iPPC line has separate models for airflow/static pressure. There are different speeds which ubviously yields different pressures but the blade design is the same for all.

I understand what air flow and static pressure are, but I want tell which versions of the noctua fans are air flow and static pressure.

Yes, there are no separate airflow/pressure optimised models in the iPPC range. Only in the 120mm standard range (S12A vs. F12).

[WoodenMarker]

There's only one 120mm iPPC fan and one 140mm right now. 

The rule of thumb would be to go with the 140mm whenever possible. It's quieter and performs better.

To answer your questions, the S-series Noctua fans are the airflow optimized fans. They're only good for very open, non-restricted airflow. The F-series fan is better in 90% of situations. Any dust filter, HDD cages, radiators.... you'll definitely want an F-series fan.

 

NF-S12A - case/airflow optimized.

NF-F12A - static pressure optimized.

 

As stated, though, the Industrial line (VERY worth the money, IMO) is the way to go, and there is no S-series fan in that line.

 

That's because the static pressure optimized fans are better.
