Fans for rad

[blair]

Hi,

Im gonna get the rasa 360 rad kit soon and i am mounting outside the case but the fans are inside due to how i am going to mount it i am only going to have 2 fans blowing air through it (its for just the cpu anyway) what are the best fans with out being to loud i use the Asus Q-Fan which is great so don,t mind louder fans if they work at lower RPM without clicking.

They also have to give me a performance boost over the fans that come with the kit as im a guy that dont spend money unless it gives me something worth while.

I could if required mount a third fan on the rad but it will look silly and unless i need the extra temp drop which i doubt i think ill get 4.5Ghz with a 360 rad and 2 fans on it the rest can cool passively.

Akasa apache are quiet,high pressure at only 1300 rpm,Scythe gentle typhoons is also good for rads and comes in various rpm.

hmm but which ones are best between performance and quiet as if its a little too noisy i can lower the speed in Q-Fan so that when the cpu gets say 55C it 100% the fans so the fan doesnt have to be deadly quiet i want the best performance/noise.

I would like to get 4.5Ghz on my cpu i know the cpu can do that prob take 1.5v so what 2 fans would i need to cool the rad acting as a 240mm to cool it (the other 120mm of rad will be passively cooled).

I would like some temp head room i dont want it to reach 62C like my last cooler.

Thanks for your help.

P.S. also if possible id like them to go with a red black and blue theme as my components are red and black but there is a gentle blue glow from some LEDs.

There is no doubt.Akasa apache are black,and move air at high pressure and are quiet at full speed.No LED though.

You will be lucky to get 4.5ghz more like 4.2ghz

dont care if they have LED or not all the apache fans i can find are green and brown.

 

[kilobravo]

Didnt se the sig,SPS is correct 4.2ghz is more likely on 1090t.Heat isnt the problem with p2.Even the bench-guys here is struggling at 4.2ghz for folding 24/7 on p2-970.

i would i be lucky?

I can get my 1090T to boot and stress test at 4.5Ghz but the heat goes sky high why i want to WC.

 

[blair]

ah yea nice find but when it says they are PWM they are 4 pin fans and are there any more than have slightly higher CFM for some more performance?

 

[kilobravo]

Im running mine 4pin pwm on 3pin headers on mobo,and 57 cfm is top-performance.You could have akasa vipers or cm excaliburs at 85cfm+ and 1900-2000 rpm,but it sounds like a jet is taking off the runway

Stress test at 4.5ghz

That would be nice for some benchmarks.

You dont belive me? When i get my w kit set up prob 2-3weeks ill take some screen shots. Also there r alot of people that get a 1090T to 4.5Ghz just google it. Thank for the fan help ill get them unless someone finds some better.

I doubt that many people are running 4.5ghz 24/7 take a look here, the average is about 4ghz.

You could also try finding some yourself, just look for fans with the highest CFM at the lowest DB. There are quite a few out there you just have to look around but the ones Kilo mentioned are very good and can be found in black easily.

I have looked but i wanted peoples opinion that have owned or used them as i have not owned many fans.
