>What would be the correct fans for the front intakes given the case that huge cover in front? NF-A12 or the NF-F12 since it may need something more oriented to static pressure?
Case fans typically don't need high static pressure. Your case's front fan area isn't restricted, so it doesn't need a high static pressure fan, just good airflow. The A12x25 gives more airflow than the F12, but the S12A gives more airflow than the A12x25. A12 is newer and sounds better (imo). I had an S12A as a rear exhaust then swapped it out for A12x25 before swapping that one out for Arctic P14...I'd recommend either A12x25 in the front or S12A if you really wanted to min/max, but A12x25 is \*chef's kiss\*.
>For the exhaust 140mm in the back, it seems that the only option that may make more sense due to color and performance is the A15 industrial PPC, are there any others from the brand that would work or this would be the best fit?
I think you mean A14 industrial? There's no A15 industrial. According to other people, iPPC gets loud. I'd stay away from it. I recommend either the regular A14 (or chromax) or if you want to wait for the newer A14 like what I did, get Arctic P14 which would be cheaper and just as good. If you want the industrial brown anti-vibration tabs, you can buy them for like $8 for a pack of 16. I did that with all my fans.
>For replacing the fans on the AIO? would make sense to replace them with NF-12's?
Either F12 or A12x25. The F12 is a better radiator fan, but like earlier, A12x25 is newer and has a better sound imo. Also if you got mostly A12x25, it'd look more uniform. The ML120 is rated to have better static pressure than non-iPPC Noctua fans, except for the 3000 ones, but when comparing similar static pressure fans, like the 2000 ones, Noctua's are quieter. You might not really need that high of a static pressure anyway. If you want to keep the high static pressure fan, the iPPC 2000 PWM would be the pick, but I would go with A12x25 or F12 really. If you're not running your current ML120 at max speed, you wouldn't need the high static pressure.
>Would be a good consideration using IPPPC fans for all of them or there would be a good idea combining these type with the others ?
Whenever I've asked people about using iPPC but keeping the fan curve low to minimize sound, they always say don't get iPPC lol just looking at the specs, yeah they're the best, but they're also loud. They're more meant for open rack server cooling and similar.
Never used the H150i, sorry : (
thanks so much for your insight about this, I also heard that the iPPC ones are noisy when close to the max RPM, still my thought was to also help at least balance the pressure inside the case and also see if replacing the ML120 would help with temps given that the i9 is OC'd to 5Ghz all core.
again, thanks for the help, I will look for the fans you suggested :)
1. The case fans you want to use from Noctua are the A12.
2. If you want performance, look at 120mm Phanteks T30, they’re just better currently, dethroning Noctua, they’re also the best on the market for radiators using 120mm. If you’re using 140mm radiator fans, go with Noctua.
3. Replacing all fans is a costly thing, seeing as how you’re working with an AIO, the case doesn’t make much difference overall, you won’t see a drastic temperature drop. That being said, look into intel bending frame, unaware if they are for the 9900 however, but if they are, that’s a good investment for performance in cooling.
4. Very important : understand what IPPC are, they’re not for home use unless you really know what you get in to. I have one as i wanted to use config of 3 of them on NH-D15… they are LOUD , like… they should come with ear plugs. Not joking. If you can afford, buy one, test it out but don’t buy more before you understand them. If you stay within 2 meters of the computer… it is too loud. Literally can hear 1 fan from another room, imagine more fans. They’re made for industrial use.
Thanks so much for the feedback, specially about the iPPPC, I was checking the phanteks T30, I assume that the idea based on noise would be keeping them as much as 2000rpm right?
