Best XSPC Rasa RX360 fans

[JesseLactin]

I'm planning to do my first WC setup for summer and I'd like to it right the first time. I'm going to buy the XPSC Rasa 750 RX360 as it was recommended to me on these forums and I'd like to replace the stock fans w/ something better. I need to replace my HAF 922 as well, so I'm going to buy the fans now (and a fan controller if need be). I'm looking at the Scythe Ultra Kaze 3000rpm fan. Will I get good temps w/ this fan? Or is there something better?

depends on what you are looking for. you want quiet? air flow? higher pressure? what you looking for?

Scythe ultra kaze fans are 38mm thick,and you may have clearence issue,depending on case you chose.Noise,they produce a lot of noise,and 3 of them a lot more.

Have a look at scythe gentle typhoons,good airflow,good pressure,and the 1450 rpm version is good enough for the rx360.

Akasa apache would be my choise,good airflow,high pressure,and at 1300 rpm nearly inaudible.

There are some good fans out there,i would look at 25mm thick,45-60 cfm,more than 1,3mm h2o pressure and lowest possible db.

A fancontoller is always handy for a watercooled rig for noise and airflow control.

Maybe the haf 932 is a good choise,lot of space for a thick rad with fans for easy inside installation.

What I'm looking for is performance, mostly. Fan noise doesn't matter as I'm going get a fan controller. As far ask kilobravo's suggestions, I think the CM R4 series meets those requirements. 3.04 mmH20, 69 CFM and quiet. Fan width doesn't matter too much as I can get the HAF X if need be(pull fans can be mounted outside the case), but I think 400.6 CFM (3x133.6) is probably overkill, but there the same price as the CM fans.

There will be clearence issue,if you do buy haf-x...I have a 58mm 360 rad with fans in push installed,and thought i had good headroom,but the rams and a heatspreader at top rim of mobo barely fits.Xspc rx360 is 63mm thick,5mm more,there will be very few mobo`s that would fit .The haf 932 has more space for a thick rad,100mm total space to be exact.

And i think its the sickleflows you found,a little loud at 2000rpm,but if you dont mind,they are just fine.

This is what im writing about.
