Fractal R3 Front fans

[MaoJordan]

Hey guys for the Fractal R3 Front Case fans would you recommend the

Corsair Air Series AF120 Quiet Edition High Airflow Fans
or
Corsair Air Series SP120 Quiet Edition High Static Pressure Fans

With the front of the case being quite restrictive on airflow i thought perhaps the Static Pressure fans would be a better choice?

Thoughts?

Airflow fans are for cases, static pressure fans are for rads. So go for the AF's

That's what i thought too but Linus from NCIX said SP fans would be also useful for cases that have restrictive front airflow

Ah woops, didn't see you had an R3. The SP's in that case then might actually perform better due to the restrictive front, but you defo want the AF's in the rear of the case

Yea the SP fans would be better for your front intakes, using them as intake for my 550d and they do the job.
