"One of the main difficulties in the design and development of axial
fans is to achieve a good balance of the three key parameters of
airflow, pressure and noise", explains Mag. Manfred Stadler from the
Austrian Institute for Heat-Transmission and Fan Technology
(Österreichisches Institut für Wärmeübertragung und Ventilatorentechnik,
ÖIWV). "Even in the field of PC cooling, each application has different
requirements though: Whereas CPU coolers require high static pressure,
it's mostly the airflow to noise ratio that counts when it comes to case
fans. Common fans are usually designed to be all-round solutions
compromising in certain areas in order to achieve solid results in all
typical applications. Noctua, on the other hand, is following a two-fold
approach with its NF-S12 and NF-P12 fan series in order to achieve
optimal results at various applications: While the NF-S12 was optimized
so as to provide a class-leading airflow to noise ratio in the lower
speed ranges and therefore makes for an excellent case fan, the NF-P12
was designed to produce high airflow and an outstanding amount of static
pressure, which makes it perfect for use on CPU coolers and other
high-impedance applications."
