Xilence 120mm or Noctua PF-12

[Nick R]

Hey guys, just wanted your opinion on the best fans to use for a PA120.3 radiator. The Xilence 120mm [http://www.xilence-lab.de/News-Details.21+M5dbaee5cd94.0.html?&L=1] or the Noctua PF-12 [http://www.noctua.at/pdf/infosheets/noctua_nf_p12_en.pdf]?

Cheers.

Well ive got 2 of those radiators with 6 Xilence fans on them then 2 in my case i think theyre awesome, really quiet...for 8 fans! but i'd highly reccommend them.

I think the noctua might possibly be quieter. Because that was the other option i was looking at but then your looking at 2.5x the price...so if youve got the money i think possibly the noctua, but the Xilence ARE fantastic fans so either way you win

Yeah I've been watching your thread . I'm leaning towards the NF-P12 as it seems to have slightly higher static pressure and quite a few good reviews.

cheers yeah they look good, i might just have to buy one to see how quiet they are, possibly for the 3 case fans inside my pc...

Let me know how you get on if you do get the noctua!

Noctua is a safe bet.

More so for rads and coolers, you want something with higher static pressure. Probably the Noctua here, but it wouldn't be a bad buy if you went for the Xilence fans, which have been a popular choice recently.
