The unfortunate resemblence with the IFX concerns me though, but real testing needs to be done untill drawing some conclusions.
It would be great with a real test. Maybe with different fan-options, like
3 fans, and other fans (with high static pressure) too?.

I'm using NF-P12 as a case-fan, and it is a great low-noise fan with good air-flow. But it doesn't have enough static pressure, and therefore isn't the best CPU-fan. But that NF-P14 (+ an extra fan#3) can change the picture totally. Maybe this combination can become the ultimate low-noise and high performance? I have a good hunch about this, but only a good test will show the real stuff!
