Best fan for rad.

[blair]

Hi,

I have 4 Gentle typhoons 1850rpm fans now i need 5 fans for my radiators which are of the UT60 type i need to know which fans are better the Gentle typhoons or the Corsair SP120 Performance editions, what's the noise like i will be using a fan controller. I find the gentle typhoons fine when around 60% and the fans auto ramp up if the cpu gets hot which i like.

240mm rad will have 2 fans pushing
360mm rad will have 3 fans pulling.

Also anyone have any idea what the static pressure for the GT 1850rpm is?

The GTs are within the top 2/3. If you already have 4, it isnt worth selling them to get new ones, may as well just get 1 more of what you have as it isnt gunna make that much difference. As for the fan controller, they do work better while on 7v reducers rather than a fan controller, as they're quieter and you dont really need them to ramp up and down due to temps if you set them up right in the first place

Corsair SP120 Quiet Editions, Scythe Gentle Typhoons or Akasa Apache's would be my picks. The Noctua NF-F12's are great too but imo they're too expensive. Seeing as you already have 4 you may want to buy more GT's just to keep a constant theme going, plus they're great fans

as above mate, you have some of the best fans around at the minute really no point in changing them, i myself have only used the corsair SP 120mm quiets and the noctua NF F12 and both are brilliant!
