NA-FK1 redux,NH-U12S redux
Out of the box PWM performance with one fan was surprisingly good. Adding a second fan shaved some more heat off and at maximum fan speed even more heat was removed and we saw an extra 2 degrees of performance. Those excellent results came with no noise penalty either. The addition of a second fan does increase noise obviously but not by a large amount. It is also important to note that these measurements were taken at 100% RPMs without using the Low Noise adapter which means these numbers could be even lower if silent operation is your priority.
"The Noctua NH-U12S redux performs great given its size. Even with a single fan (the default setup) the cooler had no problem handling our Intel Core i7-6700K@4.6GHz processor. The cooler can also be upgraded by adding a second Noctua NF-P12 fan via NA-FK1 fan kit. When it comes to noise the NH-U12S redux is not loud at all." (Ambrosidou Nat, XtremeSystems.org)
