P series intake

F for exhaust

I use a P series for exhaust and it's not great but for filtered intakes they are good

Now I've removed the noctuas the arctics are refitted and the pc sounds normal again

I have filter on the front so be ideal

I'll order 2 p series and 2 F series and have a boxing match with temp monitoring and sound

Sounds like fun, one of my favourite pass times at the moment!

ive installed the Noctua S12A in the back, its running at full whack (around 1300 RPM) and tbh its not very loud

The S12A isn't loud, in fact its very quiet, the A14's that I returned however are very loud so I assume the 120mm version will be too

Edit, just remembered I had an F12 on a Noctuas 120mm cooler a couple of builds ago, I don't particularly remember what it sounded like but I remember not being happy with it for the price as is the case with most of Noctuas stuff, it's expensive and the cost difference compared to others isn't particularly worth it

Saying that the S12A a good choice for an exhaust, the only reason I returned mine is because it's ridiculously expensive, I had the opportunity to do so and I have severe OCD so all my fans have to be the same manufacturer

When i unplug my intake fan, no changes to gpu temps at all, cant wait for my arctics to arrive so I can put one in as an intake AND change the fan speed

hopefully these are the right ones

Yeah, P for intake F for exhaust, set a fan curve in bios mine are at 300rpm in windows and completely silent, I limit them to about 1300 under load
