Is the 2000 RPM version of Noctua's famous NF-F12 fans better for static pressure cooling on an H100i compared with Corsair's SP 120 Quiet edition 1450 RPM fans ? Here I compare the two fans at idle, with real world video encoding and Rise of the Tomb Raider benchmark.
EDIT: You probably noticed my temps are quite high in general. I agree. So I redid my thermal paste (Arctic Silver 5) application and max temps are about 10-12C lower than reported. I will do a video describing the importance of good thermal paste application.
System (see my 950 Pro video for details):
6700K @ 4.6Ghz (1.35v BIOS)
Corsair H100i AIO Cooler
Cosair 780T Case with Cosair Quiet AF140 fans
ASUS z170 Deluxe
Corsair Vengeance RAM @ 2166 (16Gb)
Samsung 950 Pro M.2 NVMe SSD; Samsung 850 EVO 512GB, etc..
EVGA 980 SC x2 in SLI (OCed to 1450 MHz)
Corsair AX850 PSU
