Hi ,i wanna buy 3 Noctua 120 mm case fans ,but i don't know which ones are better ?
They will be controlled by the Zalman ZM-MFC1PLUS fan controller.
I checked the specs,and i can't decide between those :

Please,guy..tell me which ones are better : 1200 or 1300 RPM ? Or less ?
As i said before,they will be controlled by the Zalman ZM-MFC1PLUS fan controller,so i don't mind if they are a bit loud while i'm playing,because i reduce the speed on every applications,except gaming.
Thanks in advance.
 
P12 are the ones that come with noctuas top end cpu cooler, the NH-u12p se1366. so id go with those
 
OK it goes like this the NF-p12 fans are for heatsinks etc. they do great as case fans also but are designed for resistance like a heatsink. the NF-s12 fans are for case fans as in nothing in front of or behind it so no resistance.

The last 2 noctua fans you show are the newer models and If you are going for just case fan not heatsink fan adn want the best I would definalty get the last link those are bad ass! Noctua Vortex-Control 120mm Quiet Case Fan! that is the one to get.

you can tell the difference if you look at the way the blades are one is slanted so much it looks like a jet turbine while the other looks more like a regular fan. The regular looking one is the P series made for heatsinks and general use. the other kind is the S series and should not be used on heatsinks!!!
