Fans to replace NZXT's F120P fans
I was thinking of replacing the F120P fans on my NZXT Kraken Elite with Noctua's NF-F12 PWM fans. My rad is located at the top of the case pushing air outwards would these fans be suitable?

airflow for open areas

static pressure for pushing through filters or radiators or something that needs force to move through

From their description:
Focused Flow frame for pressure demanding applications such as heatsinks and radiators.

Should be fine.

I did exactly that and the average temps I had, while under load, went down about six degrees.

Yeah, im running a i9 14900k, installed a contact frame and reduced to around 90c average in cinebench r23 but such a hot chip still. NZXT fans can be loud once they get going too.
