I don't even see a 60mm 40cfm Noctua though so what are you looking at.
Noctua does not have a 40cmf 60mm fan. I was just giving a general example not based on any one fan, but the average 120mm delta and Noctua fan. I know that was a bad idea... And I should have worded my post better... sorry.
Noctua as far as I know does not use CFM rating on their fans. But has high rpm high output put fans such as the NF-A14 witch moves about 155 cfm (if my math is right) and is about 20-30$ retail. That’s about the same as most deltas retail for (Yes I know you can get then drit cheep on ebay) but at the same time it's about 40dba vs most delta fans witch are about 50dba+ at the 150cmh range. I know another general example... 😒 bad idea. 😒
But for me, right now don't want/need high powered fans nor do I want a fan controller. I want a system that is as silent as possible, if that means having to run it a little hot that’s fine by me. it’s a P3 system, the parts are cheap and everywhere.
Also on a side note Noctua use far less power to run then most other fans out there.
