Need very fast fan help! Noctua NF-F12PWM or GT 15's???

OK guys need some quick info regarding these fans. Which is better in terms of performance when slapped on a rad? Any tables stats or hard evidence welcome ( preferably in the gt 15's favour ) Also most likely in a push pull config.

Cheers all

I have both fans, but haven't really tested them against each other. But my gut feeling is the AP-15 is just a tad better. And a tad less ugly too. Black/grey ugliness beats brown/tan ugliness in my book!

Noctua fans are beautiful and your sense of aesthetics is whacked! Your wallet, on the other hand, may know what it is talking about.

Well if it's an open rad, like around 12 fpi I'd say it's a toss up, but if it's more dense on fins, I'd vote the GT-15's.
I didn't see a pressure rating on the Scythe fans as yet, but just by appearance they look to have a higher pressure, which is gold on a radiator.
The GT's would also have a broader range of adjustment, being they start out higher. It makes heavy use a choice.
