Hi All,
As the title says, can you please advice on which fans are best for attaching to the GPU hestsink. Noise is the biggest priority with thermal performance being a close second.

2 x Noctua NF-A12x25

Or

2 x Noctua NF-F12 PWM

I know the NF-A12 is regarded as the best, if not one for the best, all round fans money can buy, but I wasn't sure if the nf-f12, made for static pressure, would be better when zip tied directly to the hest sink (to eliminate any gap between hest sink and case fan locations).

The will be a Nh-u9s cooling the cpu with a second matching fan mounted to either the rear fo the case or the other side of cpu cooler.

I am considering having both the gpu and cpu both extracting. Alternively having the GPU intake and cpu extract, but I was concerned about hot air from the gpu affecting the psu and cpu. I welcome thoughts on this as well please.

Thanks for the help
