Noctua NF F12 or NF P12 for CPU air cooler

[Quad4Ever]

So I'm thinking about buying the Cryorig H7 at some point.
It comes with Cryorig's QF120 Balance fan, which sounds like a good fan, but I'm still a bit scared it will get a little too loud, so I'm considering also buying a Noctua fan. Yes I know they are more expensive than other fans, but I their sound signature and have had good experience with then so far, so it's worth it to me.

NF F12 or NF P12?
I would have choosen with the P12 because of its lower noise output, but then i looked at the specs for the F12 with the Low Noise Adapter and it has higher static pressure and lower noise outpur than the P12 without the L.N.A., but it has also got lower airflow.

So the F12 with L.N.A. has a 9% higher SP, but a 19,5% lower AF. Would the F12 L.N.A. perform better than the P12 non-L.N.A. because of the higher SP or would the P12 non-L.N.A. perform better because of the higher AF?

So basically my questions is: Is a 9% increase in SP worth it, if it means a 19,5% decrease in AF? (On an air cooler)

Btw I do not intent to use the L.N.A., but to buy a PWN version and run it at that speed, but that shouldn't affect the result much.

Thanks you in advance

Depends on how much you care about noise, the F12 will perform very slightly better without the LNA on a cooler but will be a little louder. Doesn't really matter that much you'll be happy with either. If you want all out performance then the NF-F12 iPPC-2000 will be the best.
