To kick off fan reviews, we're pinning the industry's finest against the industry's cheapest. David vs. Goliath. The most unfair fan head-to-head in history. Except... maybe not?

Noctua’s NH-P1 is a fanless CPU cooler that performs well. We’ve tested it with Intel’s i9-13900K, i7-14700K, AMD’s Ryzen 7 7700x, and Ryzen 9 9950X3D.

The NF-A12x25 G2 is Noctua’s latest addition to its 120 mm fan lineup, aimed at improving airflow efficiency without increasing noise levels
