Fan choise for XSPC RX360 Rad

[Ralm]

Hi there guys,

I will be soon buying a water cooling kit and I will get the XSPC RX360 Rad.

Now I need to choose some fans. Ive been looking at the options and I really can't choose one, but Im really intrested on the BeQuiet Silent wigs 2.
Im looking from something that can have a good overall.

Here is my considerations, although sugestions are welcome:

_________________________:RPM @ 12V; CFM / m3/h ;AP mmH2O ; Noise dB(A)
BeQuiet Silent Wings 2 120mm: 1500rpm ; 50,5 / 85,8 ; 1,63 _____; 15,7 ;
Corsair SP120 Quiet Edition___: 1450rpm ; 37,8 / una ; 1,29 _____; 23 ;
Noctua NF-F12 PWM ________: 1500rpm ; unav / 93.4 ; 2,61 ____; 22,4 ;
Spectre Pro LED ___________: 1200rpm ; 56,2 / una ; 1,24 _____; 18,9 ;
Spectre Pro PWM __________: 1800rpm ; 70,5 / una ; 2,6 ______; 26,1 ;

Which would you choose, why and have you tried any of them??

Thanks,
Ralms

The SP120 QE's are totally faffing epic on a proper rad!

 

[Ralm]

Yeah, everyone talks good about them. Although spec wise they may fall behind, I think the real life performance may be diference.

Is the XSPC RX360 a proper rad?

Tom, have you tried the BeQuiet SW2? Linus did a video about them and he got proper impressed about them. Dunno.

But yeah. Im realy wondering between BeQuiet and Corsair now.

 

[tinytomlogan]

I wouldnt buy the BeQuiets tbf

 

[jamesriley94]

The BeQuiets are actually pretty good...

...They won't fit on rads though, so definitely not them.

Scythe GT, Noctua NF-F12/NF-P12, Silverstone AP, Most of the Enermax fans, Akasa Apache, Corsair SP... all good choices

 

[rossi94]

Try the Noiseblockers really nowbody here knows them, but I can tell you these are the quietest fans on the market.

 

[Perturabo]

I would bear in mind when looking at fans that the numbers the manufacturers quote usually arent directly comparable as they measure noise, pressure etc differently.

+1 for the sp120´s... got them myself and i love them

Any fan can be set up to be quiet...

It's whether it actually does anything while being quiet...

Few places in the UK and US stock noiseblockers though afaik. There's plenty of decent fans out there without having to import them

spectre pro leds have 13 of them in my switch 810 and its super quiet (yes I have them on a fan controller)

 

[Master&Puppet]

I've got Scythe Gentle Typhoons on my rads and love them but I'm with James here. There's a good selection to look at now.

Scythe GT, Noctua NF-F12/NF-P12, Silverstone AP, Most of the Enermax fans, Akasa Apache, Corsair SP... all good choices

 

[NRG!]

corsair SPs for the performance and aesthetics imo

 

[airdeano]

noiseblockers in the states are more expensive than the noctuas.. and
to be honest, not that much quieter for the extra cash..

But the noctuas are really ugly .. this brown, I don't like i.

 

[LiamTheBoss]

Corsair Sp120 mate all the way!

 

[PurpleHaze]

Corsair SP120's by far.

 

[paultje162]

SP120's are really good. they blow much air for their sound and last very long. also they have blades made for rads.
