[SOLVED] Which 120mm noctua fan is the best at rear?

Solution
For the rear of the case, your best bet is an airflow focused fan. There's very little impedance, relative to an more restricted intake.

However, Noctua have, for the most part moved away from a focus on airflow or pressure - they're confident in their fans to perform both very well.

I use an NF-F12 as a rear exhaust in my MeshifyC, although A12's, P12's or S12's would work just as well. IIRC, the S12's are the ones intended for use with very little impedance.
