    Guys what fans do you commend for a silent operation and good static pressure? Maybe Noctua NF-F12 PWM?

    Though not inaudible, the Noctua NF-F12 industrialPPC-2000 PWM tends to be a good compromise between noise and static pressure for a 120 mm radiator fan. If you don't mind the colour and know you'll never need more than 1500 RPM, the non-industrial NF-F12 PWM as you suggested is not a bad choice either.

    I finally ended up with NF-F12 PWM, so far so good.
