| Low Speed Fan Performance Results Low Speed Fan Performance Results2.6GHz At this speed the P14-FLX has anemic static pressure and while it does a very good job at cooling this heatsink, we doubt if the same could be said if it was paired to a high static pressure fin array (like the TRUE). 3.42GHz With such a minor difference in performance between dual and single fan results the old adage that says it is never a good idea to mix fans when doing a push-pull configuration holds true with this cooler. We have a sneaking suspicion that the dual and triple results are going to be better when the same model fan is used. 3.8GHz At this point, there really isn’t much to say that hasn’t already been said. The D14 is not a great single fan solution and this why Noctua includes two fans. By the same token, it did pass this ultimate acid test and is the first dual tower cooler which could even had a chance at doing so. The numbers it posts may not be great but the very fact it did not fail this test IS a ringing endorsement. Heck, to our way of thinking this test is more a Pass/Fail one and any cooler which can walk away from it without failing out IS a winner. | ||
