The NF-P12 has been specifically developed for applications such as CPU coolers that demand superior pressure and airflow performance. Thanks to psychoacoustic optimizations like the Vortex-Control Notches, the new SCD drive system and Noctua"s premium-grade SSO-Bearing, the NF-P12 achieves exceptional quietness and long-term stability. Is this fan right for me? We principally recommend the NF-P12 for the following applications: * CPU coolers with tight fin-spacing * Water-cooling radiators with tight fin-spacing * Power supplies * Storage solutions * Cases with very restrictive fan grills and filters * All applications with significant obstruction to airflow
