Fans? Noctua NF-12 vs Arctic f12 pwm pst

[Amusingg]

Hi guys just a quick one i was thinking between either:



Noctua NF-12 PWM

vs

Arctic f12 pwm pst

I dont overclock ever so noise would be the only real factor id care about, as im guessing most modern fans are similar enough in quality, or is the Noctua Nf-12's renowned for being the best of the best?


--- Also do fans come with dust filters when you buy them are they useful to buy seperately if they dont? thanks

If silence is what you crave, then the Noctua fans are far superior. I ran a whole case load of the Arctic F12's, and while they were reaonably quiet (especially given the much lower price) they were nowhere near as quiet as some NF-12's I've used in the past.

EDIT: Oh and no, most fans do not come with filters, so you'll need to pick some of those up elsewhere.

ah i see so the noc fans definetely are quality of airflow and more quiet?
