Hi,

Which one would the best for cooling radiators or heatsinks: Noctua NF-F12 PWM or Corsair SP 120 High Performance? I am leaning towards the Noctuas as it has high static pressure (bit lower than the Corsairs) and the noise level is much lower. I have checked the temp results and it shows that the SP 120 High Performance fans perform better, even though it generates a bit more noise compared to the Noctuas.

So I guess it terms of sheer performance and loudness is not a concern, the SP 120s are a little better than the Noctuas?

Aside from the two fans I mentioned, any different recommendations for a quiet high static pressure fan?

Thanks in advance.
