OC3D Fan Showdown - BeQuiet Pro vs Noctua PPC vs Coolermaster Mobius

[WYP]

It's time for a fan showdown. Who is quietest, and who offers the best thermals?



Have a look at OC3D's BeQuiet Pro vs Noctua PPC vs Coolermaster Mobius fan showdown.

 

[Dawelio]

The difference between Noctua's NF-F12 iPPC's and their new NF-A12x25 is massive. The iPPC are made for industrial use cases and the NF-A12's aren't. I wouldn't make the comparison of the two, despite the reasoning that says in the article, the NF-A12's would have been a much better pick to go up against the other fans - regardless of the max speeds.

I totally agree with @Dawelio, the Noctua NF-A12's would certainly have been the better comparison, omitting the Phanteks T30's in the testing also...??

Fan comparisons need to be much broader given the new market boom.

Phantek T30
Phantek PH F120
Lian Li SL120s
Corsair ML120 (old but still strong and a good contender even today)

and many more.

This showdown could be a nice long running thread as you introduce more and more fans for testing. Its definitely an area that very few websites test and something we always want to see as to what suits our needs best.

I think we will get quite a large portion of that from Gamers Nexus with their recently purchased fan tester, that all of the fan manufacturers actually use themselves.

You need to go with the flow, or things will get turbulent

Your puns are getting fantastic, This fan-tabulous debate needs to cool down.

Have to agree, if you were taking noise into it you shouldnt have used the industrial noctuas.
