I am looking for a grey 120mm fan to use on the backside of my cryorig h5 heatsink and was wondering if the noctua NF-S12B redux would be good to use in pull?? I know that they are not technically static pressure optimized but what is your opinion...

My opinion is to pick up two of those Noctua fans to balance the inlet and exhaust of the heatsink on an air cooler. This will ensure you get good temps all around instead of having to optimize the fan's speeds manually/trial and error. You will also need a fan splitter so that both fans ramp up and dial down with the signal given off the CPU_FAN header. Might I ask which Cryorig H5 you have? The Ultimate or the Universal version. The reason I ask this is due to the fact that the cooler was designed to have the fan where it is and the fan is more of a 140mm variant than a 120mm variant while the fan is placed in a push config. I'm also not sure if the cooler comes bundled with a second pair of clips to attach a fan to the cooler though...

Could you please pass on your full system's specs? (If it's the sig spaced rig, please post the information in the thread's body since the information provided will be relevant to it. Sig spaces have a tendency to change over time so any advice/solution given would seem irrelevant should the sig space change.
