Which Quiet Fan?
I'm stuck for choice between 2 quiet fans for a server build; Noctua NF-S12B FLX and Scythe GT AP-15.
The new Noctua is £8 more than the GT. So my wondering is that is it worth that much more? I saw this great test among many here of the GT 15: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bLgJo...layer_embedded I just wish there was one for the Noctua new or old version of the fan so i could get a compasisen on CFM & noise. I have owned and do own 2 NF-P12's and they are very quiet but it doesn't help as i need to know its true CFM compared to the GT's. Rants aside about Noctua, would the two fans i'm looking at have the same-ish CFM to noise ratio? |

The Noctua is for those that hold silence above OCing. The Gentle Typhoon is a better choice for most. Very good cmf and extremely low noise.
