Alphacool radiators which fans?

[leejc73]

I've got 2x240mm Alphacool radiators in my current project CM690 II Advanced http://forum.overclock3d.net/index.php?/topic/42041-new-project-suggestions-please/, I'm now looking for fans and I've narrowed it down to a choice from 2.

Bit-Fenix Spectre Pro LED - (Aesthetic choice but also seems to perform well enough)

Scythe Gentle Typhoon 1850's - (Cooling/acoustic choice)

I am going pull on both sets and i'm leaning towards the spectre pro's because it'll mean less work in the long run with not needing to light the rig.

Thoughts please guys.

Cheers

Lee

I think this is a personal choice since you already have the information. I use typhoons, because they are better, and separate lighting but the spectres are still fine.

I have the 60mm thick 240mm rad and I ended up using the noctua nff12's. The 2 fans that I came down to choosing between were the Gentle Typhoons and the NFF12's. Fans are the only thing in my rig that I was willing to sacrifice aesthetics for performance. Plus you probably wont get any better performance to sound than the NFF12's with the warranty it comes with.

imo, for the pull fan idea, id use the typhoon 1850

in a push fan config, the noctua F12

push/pull fan 4 - noctua P12

ive got spectre LED and for a thick rad, not to pleased with temps,

but on a H100 nice breathers both in a pull and push/pull setup
