    P12 are "performance" or "pressure" fans, used primarily on cpu coolers and radiators,
    S12 are case fans, and usually more silent,

    basically the difference is in ratio of airflow/noise

    Then there are iPPC, which are industrial performance fans. :bleh:
    A14 at 3000rpm, over 10mm/H2O static pressure.

    I wouldn't say Noctua fans are so amazing the price is justified, there's equally good Asian and German fans. Even Coolermaster is not much worse at low speeds. But as far as their CPU coolers go, they are incredible. Easy to install and they really do cool about as well as an AIO liquid cooler with LESS noise (depending on fan obviously).

    You will love a completely fanless PC (all passive cooling) and never want to go back, once you have tried it. :guru:

    https://www.silentmaxx.de/pcs/kenko-der-lautlose-0db-pc/lautlose-performance-pc.html

    The website is only available in German, but they offer worldwide shipping. :)

    Depending on your configuration they install an appropriate cooling system:

    I did some stresstests overnight because the PC should be able to handle serious rendering tasks. So I started benchmark software in order to max out CPU and graphic card load (both 100%). Checking back after 12hours: CPU 63°C, Graphic Card 50°C.
    Btw, normal operating temperature is CPU Core Temperature 30°C and Graphic Card Core Temperature 25°C.
    Perfect for me :winker:

    liquid cooling won't make temps lower,
    problem with liquid cooling is relatively high noise caused by pump and fans which need to run all the time,
    you can get some huge ass air cooler which will barely spin up fans, dissipated heat will be exactly same

    I'm using four iPPC-3000 as air filter fans. With about 10mm/H2O pressure, they easily blow through HEPA 94 grade filter. Winter is tough season with high concentration of particulate matter dust.

    I understand your concern, but let me describe it this way: I can touch the metal cooling pipes with my bare hands and it is not even slightly warm. :winker: During any season of the year. :guru:

    Any notebook does increase the room temperature in a noticeable way, especially since you sit so close to it. :excl:
    Passive cooled high-end machine → you don't notice that it's even there. :wink:
