I love the look of the fans. I just wish they were a bit more geared towards airflow. I do understand that EK is a water cooling company though, so static pressure is also fairly important
Not really. Air is air. Throw as much into a case or throw little less into a case in a more directed path to get the cooler air to the fans quicker. Works pretty well. Many Static Pressure fans use a more directed airflow design because it produces more SP and gets the air threw the rads/heatsinks quicker. Silverstone AP121's are a great example of this. Old Gentle Typhoons as well, which I might add the Vardar fans are pretty much identical too as well as other fans released as of late.
