Fan for H60 (High air pressure?)

LAN_deRf_HA · Jun 17, 2012

I've made my determination for both case and rad fans. Noise/airflow/pressure/bearing type and life length. These have it all. Yes the LEDs can be turned off.

If you do a little re-search, you will find that there are a serious lack of high RPM PWM fans....

Apart from the stock fans that ship with the closed loop and some air coolers that can crank upto almost 3000rpm. you cant really buy a pwm fan that goes beyond 1300rpm from any retailer.

Yeah, I have noticed and it's a shame, imo.

I usually end up searching for fans on eBay. Besides having more variety overall, Delta/Adda/AVC/Nexus fans can be found there, plus Be Quiet! fans, which aren't available here.
btw, could you guys check if this is a good fan for rads? It's listed as having a SP of 2.7 and has PWM.

thats a rebranded YateLoon fan. 2.7 is quite good but stock fans that come with the H70/H80 (dunno if they use the same fans for the H50 & 60) do 7.7mmH2o at full speed though it does sound like a jet engine.

Thank you for the info. I'm not familiar with the brand, that's why I was asking. Yate-Loon fans are not bad, I agree, but I have had some fail on me.

So the stock fans on the closed-loops are usually the best ones. Understood.

Can't beat Gentle Typhoons Noise/CFM wise, if noise is not an issue then go with Deltas/San Ace or even the 150+ CFM Koolance fan but the gains with an high RPM fan are not worthy the noise.

If noise is an issue you can use a fan controller.

I agree but you can't undervolt well some of the high RPM fans, they tend to make strange noises and they don't spin at all under 7v.

Anyway I can't hear my setup at all with loads of 1850 GTs and some Aerocool 140mm Sharks.

FreedomEclipse · Jun 27, 2012

well I decided to get a 120mm SP & AF versions of the corsair fans for a test, I'll let you know what i think compared to my 1850rpm GTs

I just tore apart an old Dell E510 and was surprised to find a Delta 120x38mm 150cfm fan hidden inside! I am working on converting it to a standard fan pinout but I would say that it is probably worth a shot to look at craigslist and see if you can't snag one or two for yourself!

I love how ppl just post with what they own or what you should but didnt ask this one simple question
:slap:

Here's the key question.... What radiator are you running? The Corsair one? What version..

Some work better with low fan speeds, some are made for high speeds..

The radiator I'm using work better on low rpm fan speeds. Even if I choose to up there speeds I hardly get any added cooling just because of the design of the rad

Any ways just to comment on the OP's question... Get a low to variable speed high static pressure fan with the lowest Db so it's not screaming in your ears..

For the Corsair one your doing to need a high speed fan... Or a low speed High static fan if you want the noise down to a min.

Edit* I used, use Noctua 120's low speed high pressure on the old H100 and now on my Swiftec rad... 5.4Ghz and 52C max

It's not like that if you put a high speed fan on a low FPI radiator you get less performance... lol.

By going higher RPM you'll never be wrong, unless you mind the added noise, but if a radiator is optimized for low speed fans doesn't mean you get less performance with higher speed fans, you ALWAYS get more performance from more CFM and static pressure, you don't get that much of an improvement over low RPM fans but you don't get worse performance.

lol you just answered your own question :slap:

I just found it interesting that this old Dell had a Delta 120x38mm fan hiding inside. 38mm fans are almost guaranteed to generate higher SP, so grabbing a few of them off craigslist for the cheap seems like a worthwhile idea *shrug*

There never was a question, you just said something that doesn't make sense.

What do you guys have to say about cougar fans. 60 cfm, 1.7 pressure, 18 db. I have one and it is inaudible but doesn't seem to move much air.

nleksan · Jun 30, 2012

I have been wondering about Cougar fans myself... They have the 120 and 140 models on sale @ Newegg for $ 10 or so, I just don't have any experience with them. The SP seems to be a bit low for what I would need on a radiator (XSPC EX420 with 19 split-fins per inch so 38fpi sorta). I have heard nothing but good things about them, but when it comes to rads I see people using them for Corsair SLCs, XSPC RX Rads and the like, nothing with high fin density.

radrok · Jun 30, 2012

^You'd ideally want some screamers on high fin density or 1850 GTs push pull

Cougars are almost identical to noctua's NF-P12 in specs and shape. Have any experience with those?
