Noctua Introduces NF-P12 High-impedance Fan
Only 14 months after the release of the NF-S12 series, which has received more than 100 awards and recommendations from leading international websites and magazines, Noctua expands its line-up of 120mm fans with the NF-P12 high-impedance fan. The NF-P12 has been specifically developed for high-impedance applications such as CPU coolers, water-cooling radiators or cases with tight fan grills and features psychoacoustic optimizations that make it less annoying to the human ear. Like the NF-S12, the NF-P12 is equipped with Noctua's tried and tested SSO-Bearing that achieves no less than 1.68mm H²O and 92.3m³/h at 1300rpm. The NF-P12 has an MTBF of over 150.000 hours and comes with 6 years manufacturer's warranty. Using the supplied Low-Noise and Ultra-Low-Noise adaptors, the fan's speed can be reduced to 1100 resp. 900 rpm. The NF-P12 is available now with a recommended price of EUR 19.90 / USD 24.90.

I have an s12 1200rpm as the only intake fan on my new rig.. more exhaust than intake on thia rig, but I want to keep the noise leves low so I didnt bother putting in a higher cfm fan as intake for a little more cfm. I think air can pass trough the fan a little easier than most fans since it has more of a gap due to the fan blade design.

I've been drooling over Noctua case fans for quite some time, but would need 3x80mm fans and they don't have a 92mm for my output, so it would get costly and incompleate :/ 2 intake fans would still be great as normal fans can't take the dust and strain too long. With this warranty, it wouldn't matter if they start making noise :)
