The NH-U12 definitely benefits from the higher CFM 120mm fan (1202 model), but it loses a tiny bit of it's cooling capacity when adding a second 120mm fan. I double-checked this to verify my results and sure enough, they were the same.
All of the cooling configurations were suprisingly quiet, especially the NH-U12 with a single 120mm fan pulling through the fins. It would of course be very easy to turn this into an insanely loud cooler using a very high CFM fan, and I'm willing to bet the performance would only get better.
I wouldn't hesitate to recommend these coolers to anyone, however, I would check to see if the NH-U12 is compatible with your motherboard before buying one.
