Radiator Fans plus Fan Controller

[reeper250]

I am wondering which fans would give the best performance/looks for an XPSC RX360 radiator in a Silverstone Raven EV02-E case.

I really would prefer LED's to add interest.

There will also be green watercooling tubing inside.

Silverstone Air Penetrator

Or just the good old (boring) 1800RPM Scythe Gentle Typhoons?

Or even another fan, but I don't want to spend too much...

You can't fit an XSPC RX360 in the RV02 you will need an RS. The Yate Loons and the Silverstone Air Penetrators are no good they have hardly any CFM and when put on the rad they will have less because of the resistance, the Enermax Appolish are quite good they have a good CFM and good static pressure so they will be good for radiators. Don't know about the Xigmatek Crystal though.

I don't know about fan controllers so someone else will have to help you on that.

When using a fancontroller,i would chose cm sickleflows with green leds.

I would choose neither controller,Lamptron fc2 will be my choise.It handles up to 45w a channel,giving the option to run several fans on each channel when using fansplitters.

i'd choose the lamptron aswell! i think there has been a revision so make sure you you get a new one if you do pick it up

Would 20W per channel be enough for three Silverstone AP181's, or three 120mm fans on a radiator?

From silverstones own website,the ap181 is rated 5.4w,giving a total at 16.2w.
