[SOLVED] 2 fans on a Noctua NH-U12S

[keslo]

So, I was planning to buy a Noctua NH-U12S SE AM4 and make it better with another 120mm fan (like the corsair LL120 white), but this guy https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wClONJRlE5Y reviewed the slightly larger version of it, the NH-U14S, but when he mounted another fan on it, the cooler got significantly louder. Does adding another fan to the NH-U12S make it louder? Meanwhile, this https://linustechtips.com/main/topic/365817-noctua-nh-u12s-wdual-120mm-fans-performance-very-good/ thread says even with dual fans, it's pretty damn quiet.

It could make it louder with two but doubt it with their fans , and there is usually no real cooling performance upgrade with two, although results will vary.

Would be better off getting the NF-A12x25 and running it single.

That's what I run on mine.
