Noctua Launch 140mm cooler

[aztec]

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!

It's just the opposite, no? The NF-P12 is the one with higher static pressure (1.68 mm H2O) but lower airflow and is intended for CPU HSFs, or restrictive/obstructed airflow applications; where the NF-S12 has lower pressure (1.31 mm H2O) but higher airflow and is meant for less obstructed ventilation.





I've been cooling an E8400 clocked around 4 MHz for quite awhile now on a single NF-P12 with no issues. (Cooled a hotter E6600 with good results as well.) I'm also happy with the NF-S12's and NF-R8's I'm using for case duties.
