Cooling Corsair H80i V2 with NF-A12x15

[ShamedGod]

Has anyone swapped out the fans on the Corsair H80i V2 with the slim profile Noctua fans?

Any idea if it would be better to use a push/pull with the slim fans verse running a single fan configuration?

Hello sirs,

I am putting together an ITX system and the 120MM radiator will not fit with two 120x120x25 fans. I purchased two NF-A12x15 PWM and am waiting for their arrival as those WILL fit in the case with the radiator. However I am having second thoughts and am curious if one NF-A12x25 PWM would actually push more air through the radiator then the two slim fans in a push/pull configuration.

Are you able to tell me which configuration will force more air through the radiator or if there is a better fan configuration Noctua offers to maximize air flow?

Thank You!

Greetings from Noctua!

Thank you very much for contacting us.

We recommend two NF-A12x15 PWM fans. These two fans have a higher cooling capacity than one NF-A12x25 PWM fan.

Kind regards,

Your Noctua Support-Team

Two Slim fans will force more air through a radiator then one normal fan.
